Lickety-Split • Jacksonville, FL

About The Position

Lickety Split Air, Plumbing & Electric is Northeast Florida's fastest-growing home services company. We were built on a simple promise: show up fast, do it right, and treat every customer like royalty. We cover HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services across the Jacksonville metro and surrounding areas. We are growing fast. We are not slowing down. And we are looking for the person who will help us build the machine that sustains it. The Opportunity This is not a job for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. This is a role for someone who wants to build a high-performance operational engine that drives one of Northeast Florida's most ambitious home services companies. As Director of Operations, you will own the day-to-day and long-term infrastructure of our business. You will sit at the intersection of people, process, and performance. You will be accountable for results that matter — technician productivity, dispatch efficiency, customer satisfaction scores, revenue per job, and team development. You will hold real authority over how this company operates. If you have been looking for the kind of role where your decisions actually move the needle, where your track record actually earns you more responsibility, and where the ceiling is determined by your performance rather than someone else's comfort level — this is that role.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of senior operations management experience with progressive responsibility
• Background in a fast-paced, service-based industry — we are open to candidates from car dealerships (especially service/fixed operations), logistics and distribution, fleet management, multi-location retail, construction, pest control, or similar environments

• Experience managing 20+ employees across multiple functions; experience with technician/field workforce a plus
• Demonstrated success implementing operational systems and standard operating procedures that improved productivity and customer satisfaction
• P&L exposure and financial literacy — you can read a job costing report and know what to do with it
• You lead from the front. You are visible, decisive, and direct.
• You hold people accountable without destroying morale
• You develop talent intentionally — you build the bench, not just the starting lineup
• You communicate with clarity up, down, and across the organization
• You are a builder. You see disorganization as opportunity, not obstacle.
• You are competitive. You track performance, set targets, and push the team to beat them.
• You are structured. You believe in systems, documentation, and repeatable processes.
• You are a problem-solver who makes decisions with available information and adjusts as you learn more.
• You thrive in an environment that is moving fast and expects the same from you.
