Operations & Business Development Manager

We are a growing commercial cleaning and field services company based in Mount Vernon, NY, looking for a sharp, organized leader to run the day-to-day engine of our business and help drive its growth. This is a hands-on role: you'll keep our field teams accountable, our clients informed, our pipeline moving, and our operations running smoothly.

If you're a natural leader who thrives on structure, communication, and follow-through, and you're motivated by growing a business, not just maintaining it, we want to meet you.

Role Expectations

Lead the Field

- Hold field supervisors accountable to company SOPs and daily reporting

- Monitor job documentation, follow up on open issues, and escalate recurring concerns to ownership

- Coordinate technician and subcontractor schedules, work orders, and job confirmations

Drive Growth

- Own and manage our AI-generated lead pipeline inside our CRM system, from first inquiry through scheduled site visit, including following up on inbound leads within a defined timeframe and calling warm leads

- Prepare and follow up on estimates and proposals until a decision is made, coordinating with ownership as needed

- Build repeat and referral business through past clients and relationships with property and facility managers

- Track weekly sales metrics: leads, estimates sent, jobs won, and close rate

Lead Client Relations

- Serve as the primary point of contact for client correspondence and status updates

- Address client questions and concerns professionally; support the owner on escalations

- Draft professional correspondence for clients, vendors, and internal teams

Run the Back Office

- Run daily and weekly reports on job status and performance

- Maintain internal documentation, work order records, and vendor files

- Manage and route company email inboxes; ensure nothing falls through the cracks

Support Safety & Compliance

- Help maintain documentation and standards for field safety and environmental compliance (NYSDEC, OSHA, SDS)

- Ensure PPE and proper storage protocols are followed in the field

- Lead first response documentation on any incident or spill (full training provided)

What We're Looking For

- Strong communicator: clear, professional, and calm under pressure; you'll represent this company both in the field and on the phone

- Organized and detail-oriented: able to manage competing priorities without losing focus

- A natural leader: comfortable holding people accountable with professionalism

- Comfortable with outbound calls and proposal follow-up: this role includes real sales responsibility, not just admin support

- Solution-oriented: you don't just flag problems, you help solve them

- Proficient with Gmail, Google Sheets, and operations or task-management tools

- Comfortable learning and running a CRM system daily (full training provided)

- Prior experience in a service-based, sales, or operations environment preferred

Nice to Have

- Experience with ConnectTeam, Jobber, or similar field-management platforms

- Cleaning, facilities, or field services industry background

- OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Certification (or willingness to obtain within 90 days)

- Bilingual (English/Spanish)
