Do you want to run a homebuilding company, taking ownership of its success in a very real sense? If so, a highly respected national builder is looking for an up-and-coming executive to introduce its brand in Louisville. This building company president will handle operations for investors in this market while earning competitive compensation and an equity stake in the business. This offers a rare opportunity to start a homebuilding company from scratch – and build a personal stake in that business – while backed by existing investor capital. It would make an excellent career move for an ambitious construction professional ready to trade in the bureaucracy of a large organization for the leadership and strategic responsibilities that come with heading an independent company.
The position is part of this builder’s unique homebuilding franchise program, which has become the largest of its kind over the last 40 years. It empowers knowledgeable local builders with business resources that rival their largest competitors’. These include award-winning home designs, sophisticated software, valuable supply-chain resources, training and back-office support. Most of all, franchise owners benefit from a brand that has become synonymous with quality among high-end home buyers. This organization’s expansive model home network lets potential customers experience the craftsmanship themselves. All models are on display seven days a week, increasing sales velocity and allowing franchise owners to reduce risk by operating primarily as pre-sale builders. In Louisville, the head of this new franchise will benefit further from the chance to earn equity without the need for a large upfront investment in the business.
From day one, this professional will shape overall business plans and strategy to meet income targets. He or she also will take responsibility for meeting this organization’s high standards for customer satisfaction. Duties will encompass hiring key personnel, vendor negotiations, review of home budgets and other critical operational decisions. The company is looking for someone at a high level in residential construction, sales or operations who is eager to take on a new level of leadership. Candidates should bring at least 10 years in homebuilding, along with extensive experience managing people. Regional construction knowledge is 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 level or as the owner of a homebuilding company. This organization’s leaders also will be looking for success in budget management, profit maximization and developing productive teams.
