What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Manager-Russell Landscaping position at Russell Landscaping?
This Is Not a "Just Getting By" Job.
We're not looking for someone to punch a clock. We're looking for a leader — someone who wants to run a branch like it's their own, build a team they're proud of, and get rewarded in real dollars when the numbers go up.
If you've got a track record in lawn care or landscaping, you know how to manage people, and you're tired of working hard for someone else's bottom line instead of your own — this is your seat.
If you're looking for an easy nine-to-five with no accountability, keep scrolling. This role is for high performers only.
What You'll Own
- Lead the Team: Manage, coach, and hold accountable a crew of 5–10 employees. Build a culture people don't want to leave.
- Make the Hard Calls: Hire the right people. Cut the wrong ones loose — fast, fairly, and without hesitation.
- Drive the Numbers: Sell new business, protect existing accounts, and keep customer retention and satisfaction high.
- Run the Systems: Manage day-to-day operations using a CRM, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Drive — organized, accurate, on time.
- Be in the Field: Drive truck and trailer, show up on job sites, and make sure the work meets a standard you'd put your name on.
- Communicate Like a Leader: With your crew, with customers, and with ownership — clearly, directly, and without excuses.
What We Require — No Exceptions
- Proven experience managing a team of 5–10 employees
- A real background in lawn care or landscaping — not "I mowed lawns as a teenager"
- Experience using CRM software
- Comfortable with Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Drive
- A track record of sales, customer retention, and customer satisfaction
- Experience hiring — and firing — employees
- A clean driver's license and experience towing a truck and trailer
- Strong communication skills
- A nonnegotiable, impeccable work ethic and a personal standard for quality that doesn't slip when no one's watching
If you can't check every box above, this isn't the role for you — and that's okay. We'd rather leave the seat open than fill it with the wrong person.
What You'll Get
- A competitive base salary
- Quarterly profit-sharing bonuses — when the branch wins, you win
- Real autonomy to run your branch like an owner
- A path to grow with a company that rewards results, not tenure
- Health insurance
- Dental Insurance
- Vision Insurance
- PTO
- Company Vehicle
Is This You?
You take ownership without being told to. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder. You expect more from yourself than most people expect from a paycheck. You've led a crew before, and you know the difference between managing people and leading them.
If that's you — we want to hear from you today.
