Philadelphia, United States Ownershift Full time

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Ownershift is a for-profit, purpose-driven acquisition platform that purchases high-quality, long-tenured small businesses from retiring owners and implements broad-based employee ownership programs upon closing, enabling employees to directly participate in business success. Our goal is to become the preferred buyer for retiring owners by offering quick, efficient acquisitions and facilitating employee ownership legacies. This creates a win-win for retiring owners, employees, communities, and investors, ensuring secure financial positions and legacies for owners, financial participation and wealth creation paths for employees, retention of valuable businesses for communities, and strong financial returns for investors.

Job Summary:

We’re seeking a dynamic Small Business President to lead an Ownershift company headquartered in New Jersey. This role offers an exciting opportunity to lead a profitable, long-established business that designs, sells, and installs fine custom cabinetry. The Company is well known and has a highly respected name with homeowners, architects, interior designers, and builders from New York to Florida.

The Small Business President will oversee the transition to employee ownership, drive growth, and enhance profitability. You will manage all aspects of business operations, including P&L, AP/AR, strategic planning, and HR. Leading an established team, you will implement transparent and accountable management practices. Your focus will be on budgeting, strategic investments, performance metrics, and marketing initiatives to drive growth. Additionally, you will handle HR responsibilities, including personnel matters, performance evaluations, and compensation. You will also refine business practices, facilitate the transition to employee ownership with Ownershift, and coach employee owners to leverage their stake for improved business outcomes and culture.

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Succeed the retiring small business owner as the new President and General Manager of the company.
  • Own all business strategy, operations, P&L, and AP/AR management, leading an experienced team who, alongside you, owns equity in the business.
  • Serve as the growth leader who will work with employee owners to expand revenue opportunities and improve company operations.
  • Instill top-tier management practices for a growth-focused culture with transparent accountability.
  • Partner with the existing team to develop a credible and detailed growth strategy.
  • Analyze business methods and practices, implementing changes as needed.
  • Collaborate with the current team on budgeting, cost-effective investments, and establishing performance metrics.
  • Drive sales growth through marketing, outreach, and account/vendor relationship management, where appropriate.
  • Complement the company brand and aesthetic with fresh perspective and design ideas.
  • Manage HR responsibilities, including personnel matters, conflict resolution, performance evaluations, and compensation.

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • Experience in interior design, design construction or a similar industry.
  • Experience with CAD is a plus.
  • Adaptability and willingness to learn business ins and outs from the previous business owners.
  • Demonstrated people leadership skills through past work experience.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with low ego.
  • Demonstrated expertise in advanced project management and problem-solving, coupled with a hands-on approach.
  • Strong business acumen and analytical skills to oversee company financials and develop business strategy. Past P&L management and/or MBA degree a plus.
  • Capacity to identify challenges and develop solutions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience hiring, training, and developing teams.
  • Growth-oriented mindset for yourself and your teams to explore new opportunities and innovations.
  • Mission alignment with Ownershift’s goal of implementing broad-based employee ownership.

Compensation:

This position will receive a competitive base salary and equity package DOE.
