Job Brief
Star Flooring & Remodeling is hiring a Commercial Division Manager to lead our contract, new construction, and commercial project business. This is a senior leadership role with full P&L accountability for the division. You will supervise our commercial project management and estimating team, own the customer relationships that drive our pipeline, and be evaluated on revenue, gross margin, and division growth.
We are looking for a proven commercial flooring operator who is ready to run a business from day one. This is not a training role.
Compensation
Base salary: $85,000 to $125,000 annually, depending on experience
Performance-based commission on division gross profit; strong performers OTE $150,000 to $200,000
Vehicle allowance or company vehicle
Health benefits, unlimited PTO, retirement plan
Pay range disclosed per California SB 1162
Required Experience
15+ years in commercial flooring, contract flooring, or closely related commercial specialty subcontracting trade
Proven track record closing commercial and new construction projects at the GC and developer level
Direct experience managing at least 3 project managers or estimators
Estimating fluency across carpet, LVT, sheet vinyl, hardwood, resilient, tile, stone, and specialty flooring products
Strong knowledge of flooring and tile installation methods, materials, and site requirements
Ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and specifications
Working knowledge of California prevailing wage, DIR registration, and public works project requirements
Fluent in construction contracts, retention, lien releases, and insurance / bond requirements
Comfortable running a P&L and reporting to ownership on the numbers
Own the commercial and contract division P&L: revenue, gross margin, operating performance
Lead, coach, and hold accountable the commercial project management and estimating team
Cultivate and grow relationships with general contractors, developers, architects, property management firms, school districts, and municipal buyers
Represent Star at industry events, trade associations, and networking functions
Personally lead high-value estimates and bids above a defined project threshold
Own the sales process for the division: cold outreach, relationship-based selling, account expansion, and pipeline development
Manage installer scheduling capacity in coordination with operations
Ensure jobs close out on time, on budget, and at target margin
Report weekly to ownership on pipeline, WIP, backlog, and revenue forecast
Strong Pluses
Existing relationships with San Diego general contractors, developers, and builders
An established book of accounts you would bring with you. Any existing customer relationships that would follow you here are a significant asset, but not required
Experience with flooring industry software such as RollMaster, MeasureSquare, Cyncly, or Comp-U-Floor. Note: our team is currently transitioning to a new platform, so adaptability to new systems matters more than fluency in any single one
Ambitious, team-oriented, driven to build something bigger
What Success Looks Like
Division revenue grown meaningfully over the first 12 months
Gross margin held at or above baseline
At least 5 new GC or developer relationships opened in year one
A visible, forecastable pipeline the ownership team can rely on
A commercial team that runs cleanly, hits deadlines, and closes out jobs the right way
