The Opportunity

This position calls for a leader who is both strategic and grounded-someone who can see the big picture while diving into the details when needed. You'll serve as a trusted advisor, a steady hand, and a cultural bridge between the field and the office. The result: a stronger, smarter, more unified operation that allows Perrone's executives to focus on what they do best-vision, innovation, and client relationships.

If you're driven by excellence, thrive in environments where trust and discretion matter, and find satisfaction in turning great companies into extraordinary ones, this is your opportunity to make a lasting mark at an iconic industry leader.

What You'll Do

• Streamline and elevate operations: Refine workflows, documentation, and information flow between field and office teams to ensure clarity, consistency, and accountability.
• Support and empower leaders: Collaborate with current executives to remove bottlenecks, enhance decision-making, and nurture a culture of ownership and teamwork.
• Oversee daily operations: Manage the systems, structure, and rhythm of the business so leadership can focus on vision, relationships, and long-term growth.
• Advance communication and collaboration: Strengthen transparency and coordination between departments, ensuring every team member understands priorities, goals, and expectations.
• Leverage technology with intention: Identify and implement process improvements and tech tools-including thoughtful use of AI-to enhance productivity and insight while protecting sensitive information, including the privacy of our clientele.
• Uphold confidentiality and discretion: Maintain the trust and privacy of our clients, team, and partners at all times.
• Lead through collaboration, not hierarchy: Work side-by-side with project managers, superintendents, and executives to deliver successful projects and uphold Perrone's reputation for excellence.

Who You Are

• Executive-Level Operator: You lead like a coach-combining systems fluency, financial rigor, and people development. You model the blend of structure and flexibility that keeps elite builders performing at their best.
• Deeply Proficient in Procore and Sage: You bring hands-on mastery of Procore (including advanced modules such as preconstruction, financials, and observations) and Sage 100 or 300-not just oversight familiarity.
• Financially Disciplined: You possess strong financial acumen across job costing, WIP, cash flow, and forecasting, with a track record of improving margins and driving profitability.
• Strategic Operator: You see the big picture but understand the details that make it work.
• Builder of People and Systems: You know how to create structure without bureaucracy and empower others to excel.
• Connector: You bridge field and office, leadership and staff, vision and execution.
• Technologically Fluent: You use modern tools thoughtfully and know how to implement change without disrupting culture.
• Discreet and Trustworthy: You handle sensitive client and company information with absolute confidentiality.
• Construction-Savvy Leader: You understand the rhythm of construction-from design intent to field execution-and communicate effectively with trades, clients, and leadership alike.
• Commercial Mindset, Residential Focus: You may come from a commercial background but know how to apply that rigor to the bespoke world of high-end residential.
• Ambitious and Aligned: You seek a compensation structure with profit-sharing upside, driven by personal financial goals that expand the company's reach and impact.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive experience in construction operations, business management, or executive leadership-preferably in high-end residential, design-build, or architectural construction.
• Proven success in implementing technology, process improvement, and organizational change initiatives.
• Strong command of Procore and Sage 100 or 300 at the operator level.
• Demonstrated expertise in job cost management, forecasting, and cash flow oversight.
• Experience scaling systems, leading multi-disciplinary teams, and building financially disciplined operations.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Business Administration, or related field required; MBA or equivalent executive experience preferred.
