You are tech savvy, financially sharp, and grounded enough to make the hard calls without letting emotion cloud your judgment. You bring duende to the culture, structure to the chaos, and pride to the work.

  • Drive operational excellence: Spot gaps and voids before they become problems. You create and implement solutions that improve efficiency, raise quality, and boost profitability, always protecting the company’s reputation and cultura.
  • Track and optimize financial performance: Use technology and data to monitor costs—both the obvious and the hidden such as ensuring job costing, profit margins, and customer acquisition costs are tracked and improved. You know the numbers tell the story, and you make every decision con propósito.
  • Lead cross-functional communication: Keep operations, sales, marketing, and production in sync so KPIs, metrics, and job profitability stay on target. You turn silos into strong bridges between departments.
  • Control procurement, purchasing, and inventory: Oversee purchasing, vendor relationships, and inventory management, including monthly reconciliations with suppliers ensuring materials and costs are always under control.
  • Support production turnover: Ensure jobs are handed off and closed out smoothly so the team can keep momentum strong from project to project.
  • Manage customer experience and commitments: Step in at a high level to resolve customer issues, safeguard contractual obligations, and protect the company from liability all while maintaining trust and respect with clients.
  • Strengthen contractor management: Keep contractor partnerships aligned with company standards, contracts, and performance expectations.
