Someone with the right combination of homebuilding knowledge and leadership talent will soon have the opportunity to develop people, business strategies and operational improvements for an up-and-coming division of a respected national builder. This closely held organization has honed a unique approach to high-end construction that’s proven successful over more than two decades. Its emphasis on architecture and build quality underlies an impeccable reputation among buyers. At the same time, the company’s leading back-office systems and thoughtful approach to growth have contributed to consistent expansion across dozens of U.S. markets.
The new president of the Asheville operation will have the chance to take part in this ongoing success, crafting overall business strategy to meet net income targets. He or she will take responsibility for the annual business plan while also meeting this organization’s high standards for customer satisfaction. This will include goal setting, as well as sales support, high-level review of construction quality, home budgets, purchasing and vendor negotiation, as needed. Thoughtful hiring, review and development of key personnel also will be an essential part of the position.
This organization offers an entrepreneurial environment, and the building company president role is ideal for someone seeking a sense of ownership. Candidates should bring at least ten years in homebuilding, along with extensive experience managing people. North Carolina and mountain terrain construction knowledge are highly desirable, as is a background in high-end custom housing. The new executive’s past work will show successfully enacted business planning at the division or entrepreneurial ownership level. This organization’s leaders also will be looking for success in budget management, profit maximization and building productive teams.
Asheville is a dynamic and growing market with a healthy custom home segment appealing to retirees, empty nesters, second home owners and local professionals. Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a popular tourist destination and a highly desirable place to live, work and play. If you enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and excellent weather year-round, then Asheville will appeal to you as a wonderful place to live.
