Job Description

FENCING SPECIALISTS

GENERAL MANAGER

Are you a hands-on operator who knows how to bring structure, clarity, and accountability to a growing business while preserving what already works? Do you ask the right questions early, build trust quickly, and follow through on what matters most?

At Fencing Specialists, you will partner closely with a visionary owner who has spent years building a respected, woman-led business in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This role is about strengthening and scaling what is already working, not starting from scratch. We are looking for someone who communicates directly, takes initiative from day one, and can balance people, performance, and progress in a fast-moving environment.

You are someone who:

• Leads with curiosity: asks the right questions, works to deeply understand the business and owner’s perspective, and brings thoughtful ideas to improve how things operate
• Builds strong relationships: quickly earns trust with both the owner and the team, creating alignment across the organization
• Communicates directly: addresses challenges, risks, and misalignment openly, without avoidance or politics
• Drives accountability: sets clear expectations and ensures follow-through, holding the line while maintaining respect
• Stays grounded under pressure: remains steady and composed when things get uncomfortable or fast-moving
• Balances people and performance: supports the team while ensuring results and progress continue forward
• Is hands-on when needed: comfortable stepping into the yard, shop, or field while also operating at a leadership level
• Represents the company well: brings presence and polish, showing up as a credible leader in external and community settings

In this role, success comes from building alignment, earning trust, and driving results while honoring the foundation that’s already in place. You’ll need to step in quickly, understand how the business operates, and proactively identify where you can add value without disrupting what’s working. The right person will be comfortable asking questions, engaging directly with the owner and team, and taking ownership of both day-to-day execution and long-term improvements.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will serve as a key partner to the owner, strengthening alignment, improving execution, and ensuring the business continues to grow on a solid foundation.

• Partner closely with the owner to translate vision into clear priorities and ensure consistent follow-through across the business
• Build trust across the organization by being visible, communicative, and proactive from day one
• Reinforce accountability at all levels by ensuring teams follow through on commitments, processes, and expectations
• Align departments by improving communication, clarifying ownership, and ensuring work flows smoothly across teams
• Step into challenges directly, addressing issues, resistance, or misalignment with professionalism and consistency
• Support leaders and team members through coaching, clear expectations, and ongoing development
• Bring structure and consistency to operations by strengthening processes without overcomplicating what works
• Maintain visibility into key metrics, budgets, and performance to ensure the business is operating effectively
• Identify practical opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, and overall performance by improving processes, reducing manual work through automation, and increasing operational consistency
• Learn the business quickly by asking questions and stepping in where needed to add value
• Represent the company professionally in select industry and community interactions, supporting the company’s reputation and relationships
• Maintain visibility across field, shop, and office operations to ensure alignment and consistency across the business

SUCCESS MILESTONES

• 90 Days: Build trust with the owner and team, learn the business end-to-end, assess leadership and operations, and establish clear communication rhythms.
• 6 Months: Strengthen structure and accountability across departments, clarify roles and expectations, introduce or refine KPIs and SOPs, and improve consistency in operations and reporting.
• 9 Months: Drive measurable performance improvements, coach and develop leaders, improve margins and operational visibility, and ensure consistent follow-through across teams.
• 1 Year: Fully own day-to-day operations, optimize efficiency and profitability, lead a key growth or improvement initiative, and reinforce a strong, aligned culture across the company.
