General Manager (Residential HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical)

Ready to run your own P&L? We want to meet you before we have the opening.

Champions Group is building a standing bench of General Manager talent — ready to step in and lead a residential HVAC, Plumbing, and/or Electrical business the moment the right opportunity opens across our operating footprint. This isn't a training program, and there's no fixed seat waiting for you on day one. It's a standing bench: we're identifying strong leaders now, so that when a GM seat opens in any of our markets, we already know exactly who to call.

We're looking for two kinds of leaders: people who've led teams in residential HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or another home-services trade and are ready for their first shot at full P&L ownership — and current GMs, often at smaller brands, ready to bring their experience to a larger, multi-brand platform.

What Makes This Different

• You're joining a bench, not applying to a single opening. We continuously evaluate and onboard ready leaders, then match you to the right seat as soon as one opens in a market that fits.
• Multi-brand platform, local ownership. You'll get the resources, systems, and support of a national platform spanning 20+ affiliate brands, with the autonomy to run your market as if it were your own business.
• Your next seat could be anywhere in our footprint. We operate in California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Ohio, and Colorado — location flexibility meaningfully speeds up your placement.
• Real support to ramp fast. Mentorship from sitting GMs and a structured onboarding into our systems and operating model — built so you're set up to win from day one, not sent in cold.

What You'll Do (Once Placed)

• Own full P&L and operational performance for your branch — revenue, margin, labor productivity, and customer experience.
• Lead department managers (service, install, sales, dispatch/CSR) and, through them, a team of technicians and support staff.
• Set local market strategy — pricing, marketing spend, competitive positioning — in partnership with platform leadership.
• Recruit, develop, and retain top field and office talent.
• Read a branch scorecard and turn the numbers into action: pricing, marketing spend, technician productivity, and customer experience.

What We're Looking For

We're building this bench around two entry points:

• Team leaders ready to step up: 3–5+ years leading a team — Service Manager, Install Manager, Sales Manager, or similar — in residential HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or another home-services trade, with real experience running a full center's operations (not just a crew).
• Current GMs ready to scale up: Already running a General Manager seat, often at a brand under $20M in revenue, looking to bring that experience to a larger, multi-brand platform with more resources and a longer runway.
• Working knowledge of field service principles — labor forecasting, dispatching, price/hour estimation — and workforce scheduling.
• Comfort with CRM/ERP and dispatch platforms; ServiceTitan experience is a plus.
• Sound financial judgment — comfortable owning a budget and being held accountable for gross profit and growth.
• Full flexibility to relocate to one of our operating markets — exact location is matched to you as opportunities open, not fixed upfront.

Where You'll Land

This bench feeds GM placements across every market we operate. Relocation is required, but your specific market is determined during the process — matched to open needs and your fit, not assigned on day one.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation aligned to your placement — base salary of 200-225K. Once you are in place as a GM at one of our locations, you will become eligible for additional compensation (performance bonuses and company equity) plus additional perks!
• Relocation assistance to your matched market.
• Direct mentorship from active General Managers as you ramp into the seat.
• Full benefits package — medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match.
• The backing of a national platform with the growth trajectory of a company that's just getting started.

Why Champions Group

We're not asking you to wait for a title to open up — we're asking you to get ready for it now. If you've led a team in this industry and you're ready for full P&L ownership, or you're already a GM ready to step up to a bigger platform, this is how you get in front of your next seat before it's posted.
