Overview:

Executive Leadership Opportunity: VP of Operations

Location/Territory: Based out of Pleasanton, CA; Overseeing our expansive footprint throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, and neighboring communities.

At Service Champions NorCal, we don’t just "do" home services—we dominate the market through a relentless commitment to our people and our process. Since 2003, we’ve built a legacy of trust, earning Diamond Certification and being recognized as a Top Workplace every year since 2016. We’ve grown from a local favorite to a nationwide gold standard, but our mission remains the same: to deliver "Champion-level" service to every homeowner, every time.
We are seeking a VP of Operations who is more than just a strategist. We need a high-caliber executive who embodies our "Hungry, Humble, and Smart" philosophy—someone who can accelerate it to new heights.

The Role: Architect of the "Champion" Experience

As the VP of Operations, you aren't just overseeing a department; you are the steward of our operational DNA. You will be the driving force behind our field excellence, ensuring that the same quality we’re known for in the Bay Area is scaled, sustained, and sharpened across every territory we touch.

What’s In It For You: The Executive Advantage

  • Total Rewards: A highly competitive executive compensation package including performance-based incentives and long-term growth opportunities.
  • Legacy Building: The autonomy to shape the operational future of a multi-year "Top Workplace" and industry leader.
  • World-Class Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision for you and your family.
  • Wealth & Security: 401(k) with a 30% company match (up to 6%) and a robust suite of insurance options (Life, FSA, AD&D, Disability).
  • Culture & Community: From paid birthdays off, robust PTO to high-energy company-sponsored events, we invest in the person, not just the professional.
  • The Tools for Success: We provide the resources—state-of-the-art tech, professional development, and a collaborative executive team—to ensure you can lead without limits.

The Mission

We aren't looking for a "caretaker" VP. We want a visionary leader who will:
  • Operationalize the Magic: Ensure our "Diamond Certified" standards are executed with surgical precision across all service lines.
  • Develop Future Leaders: Mentor our General Managers and field leaders to ensure our talent pipeline is as robust as our revenue.
  • Drive Enterprise Value: Bridge the gap between boardroom strategy and boots-on-the-ground reality, optimizing P&L performance while maintaining the highest employee engagement in the industry.
Service Champions isn't just a company; it’s a career-defining destination. If you have the grit to lead an industry giant and the heart to protect a "People-First" culture, your next championship starts here.
