Regional Director

At Serv-U-Success, our Regional Directors lead through people. In this role, I will be accountable for the performance, leadership, and culture of a region encompassing up to 40 retail locations. I will develop Field Operations Managers as strong people leaders and business operators, strengthen the leadership pipeline, and create greater consistency across every store in my region.

This is a highly visible, field-based leadership role—not a desk job. I will spend significant time in stores, observing the work firsthand, coaching leaders, strengthening customer relationships, and turning the practices of our strongest locations into repeatable standards across the region. My success will be measured by business results, the strength of my leadership bench, consistency of execution, and sustained customer trust.

The ideal candidate will live in the Indianapolis, IN Metro Area.
