Nice To Haves

The successful candidate will be an accountable, hands-on leader who can create clarity in a fast-paced environment. They will combine strong attention to detail with the ability to prioritize, coach others, and address issues before they become customer-facing problems.
This position requires calm, organized judgment, a continuous-improvement mindset, and the ability to build productive relationships across departments.

Responsibilities

Lead, coach, develop, and hold accountable a team of seven Project Managers and two Contract Specialists. Establish clear expectations, conduct regular one-on-ones and performance reviews, support hiring and onboarding, and create development plans that strengthen product knowledge, system discipline, judgment, and execution.
Own the team’s process from sales-file completion through installation readiness. Ensure Contract Specialists enter completed sales promptly, verify that required paperwork and information are complete, and support timely change orders. Ensure Project Managers validate specifications and selections, release accurate custom orders, secure manufacturer acknowledgements, track promised dates, and confirm installation readiness.
Establish quality-control practices that reduce preventable order corrections, remakes, missing components, and installation-day surprises. Review error trends, identify root causes, and use findings to coach team members and improve standard work.
Monitor the sales-entry queue, file-completeness issues, change-order workload, open-order aging, team capacity, and upcoming installation demand. Assign and rebalance work so that Contract Specialists and Project Managers can manage their workloads effectively and urgent or at-risk jobs receive timely attention.
Lead the resolution of critical order issues involving product discrepancies, supplier delays, damage, customer changes, or installation-date risk. Ensure timely, factual communication and clear ownership of corrective actions.
Partner with Sales, Remeasure, Installation, Customer Service, and Warehouse teams to improve handoffs, maintain visibility into order status, and ensure materials are complete and ready before scheduled installations.
Use data and team feedback to identify workflow bottlenecks, improve systems and documentation, strengthen communication routines, and provide leadership with clear visibility into readiness, risk, and performance trends.
