Regional Director (South East)
G.J. Gardner Homes – San Antonio, TX
Are you an operations-focused leader with a background in homebuilding? Do you enjoy coaching small business owners to help them streamline their processes and grow their profits?
G.J. Gardner Homes is looking for a Regional Director to join our team in San Antonio. This is a pivotal role focused on the day-to-day success of our Franchise Owners. You will be their primary point of contact—part business coach, part operations expert, and part brand advocate.
Your goal is simple: help our Franchise Owners use the "G.J. Way" systems to build better businesses and deliver high-quality homes.
The Role: Supporting Our Franchise Owners
As Regional Director, you will manage the relationship between the Franchisor and our local offices. This isn't a "behind-the-desk" corporate role; it’s a hands-on position where you’ll dive into the details of business planning, financial health, and construction milestones.
Key Responsibilities
- Business Coaching: Work one-on-one with Franchise Owners to develop annual business plans and set realistic targets for sales, starts, and completions.
- Financial Oversight: Regularly review KPI data (GP per job, overheads, and build times) to identify areas for improvement and ensure long-term profitability for Franchise Owners.
- Operational Support: Help owners manage their teams, specifically assisting in the recruitment and training of New Homes Consultants.
- Compliance & Quality: Visit offices to ensure Franchise Owners are following G.J. Gardner systems, meeting model home requirements, and adhering to legal and safety standards.
- Network Connection: Act as the bridge between the San Antonio office and our Franchise Owners in the field, sharing best practices and resolving roadblocks as they arise.
Who You Are
We are looking for someone with a solid foundation in the construction industry who understands the "nuts and bolts" of running a successful building business.
- Experience: At least 5 years of experience working with small businesses or within the residential construction/homebuilding sector.
- Homebuilding Knowledge: You understand construction schedules, gross margins, and the challenges local builders face.
- Communication: You are a natural "people person" who can deliver feedback firmly but with empathy to Franchise Owners.
- Organized & Self-Driven: You’re comfortable managing your own schedule and keeping detailed records of communication and site visits.
- Values: You align with our core beliefs: Act with Integrity, Practice Empathy, Strive to be Better, and Succeed through Collaboration.
Location, Travel & Compensation
- Base: This is an in-office role based at our San Antonio, TX headquarters.
- Travel: You will spend time in the field with our Franchise Owners. Estimated travel is 25% – 30% (covering Texas and parts of the SE Coast).
- Salary: USD $90,000 – $100,000 (Base) plus performance-based incentives.
Why Join G.J. Gardner Homes?
This is a stable, rewarding role where you can see the direct impact of your work on the success of local entrepreneurs. You’ll be part of one of the world's largest building franchise networks with operations in the US, Australia and New Zealand within a small and highly supportive team.
