General Manager

• P&L ownership of at least $40M, or a single account or program of at least $30M of comparable complexity, ideally in construction, security integration, low-voltage, or a multi-site institutional environment.
• Demonstrated fluency in subcontractor economics: sourcing, vetting, pricing, performance management, and margin protection.
• Deep familiarity with public-sector contracting: master service agreements, encumbered funds, change orders, small-business spend requirements, and the cash mechanics of a publicly funded capital program.
• Track record of hitting numbers through discipline and forecasting, not last-minute heroics.
• Experience hiring, developing, and holding A-level people accountable in a field operations environment.
• Ability to build and own executive-level customer relationships at genuine depth, not just surface presence.
• Strong written process orientation: builds scalable delivery systems, not workarounds.

• Runs toward complexity and ambiguity; comfortable standing up something new rather than inheriting a running operation.
• Reads a room and a relationship at the human level; DISD leadership will trust this person.
• Direct communicator who says what needs to be said and follows through.
• Ownership mentality: owns the outcome, not just the activity.
• Organized enough to keep a program of this complexity moving without losing track of the details that matter.
• Collaborative with the platform around them while staying decisive when it is time to decide.

If you have run large, complex public-sector programs and wanted the P&L and the autonomy to run one like an owner, this is that seat.

You will have a platform behind you for engineering, procurement, sales enablement, and shared services, and direct access to senior leadership.

The bond steadily becomes finished jobs, real profit, and cash in the bank.

The right person will build something they are genuinely proud of.

• Unwavering Stewardship: We believe advancing founders’ legacies is a privilege. We do right by our founders, teams, and customers in good times and in bad.
• Excellence in Action: We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards. We’re bold in our pursuits, don’t make excuses, and relentlessly empower each other to get the job done.
• Seek and Tell the Truth: We’re honest with ourselves and others. We do what we say we’ll do, say what needs to be said, and search for the right answer regardless of where it comes from.
• Love Learning: We’re always learning as individuals, as a team, and as a business. We show up humble, curious, and with the courage to change our minds.
• Enjoy the Ride: We’re fired up by our mission, love our team, and don’t take either for granted. We show up authentically, assume best intent, and try not to take ourselves too seriously.
