General Manager

A2z Builders•Denver, CO

9h•Onsite

About The Position

A2Z Builders is a Class A General Contractor specializing in residential and commercial remodels and new construction in the Denver and surrounding area. We are a fast-growing, founder-led company with 70+ concurrent active projects, and a team of driven project managers, office staff, and field professionals. Our philosophy is rooted in both our value systems and our vision to turn dreams into reality for not only our clientele, but also our valued staff members. We are seeking a high-caliber General Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Denver headquarters. This is a senior leadership role, not an administrative support position. You will directly supervise four departments (Financial, Scheduling, Permitting, and Design), manage and develop the office team, and provide strategic operational support to our project managers. You will report directly to the CEO and remote COO, and serve as the on-site decision-making authority for daily operations. The right candidate is systems-oriented, construction-literate, comfortable managing people and processes simultaneously, and driven to grow with a company on a steep upward trajectory.
