About The Position

AlphaGraphics North Austin, the flagship center of a growing, multi-location Gold Circle AlphaGraphics organization, is hiring a Center Manager to lead installation, production, and inside sales operations. We are a large-format print and environmental graphics operation focused on vinyl applications such as wall wraps, window graphics, interior branding, event graphics and vehicle graphics. This role is designed for a highly experienced installer who has begun leading teams and is ready to take full ownership of operations, quality, and performance. This is a critical leadership role responsible for improving installation quality, reducing rework, and building a high-performing team.

Ready to move from “doing the work” to leading the team and owning results
Takes pride in getting installs right the first time
Leads by example and earns respect from installers

Calm under pressure
Takes ownership — does not blame sales or production
Focused on improving systems, not just working harder
Installation experience is required for credibility and decision-making
