Job Description

We're Looking for a Leader, Not Just a Manager.


At Carolina Stone Products, we believe exceptional operations begin with exceptional people.

With over 25 years of success, Carolina Stone Products has established itself as one of North Carolina's leading privately owned stone masonry subcontractors and distributors. We provide turnkey natural and manufactured stone solutions, along with outdoor living products and services, to some of the region's most respected homebuilders and construction professionals.

With established operations in Raleigh, Charlotte, and Wilmington, and a growing presence across the Carolinas and Virginia, we're continuing to expand our footprint, invest in technology, and build the infrastructure to support our next chapter of growth.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in everything we do, guided by our core values of Character, Attitude, Professionalism, Responsiveness, and The Long View.

Our standard is simple: A Higher Standard.

And we're looking for a leader who shares that commitment.



The Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced, driven Branch Manager to lead our Raleigh operations, based at our corporate headquarters in Morrisville, NC.

This is more than a traditional branch management position. It's an opportunity to take ownership of a critical operation within a growing company, develop a high-performing team, drive measurable results, and play an important role in shaping our future.

As a member of our senior management team, you'll work directly with company leadership to strengthen operational performance, improve processes, and ensure we consistently deliver on our commitments to customers.

We're looking for someone who thinks like a business owner, leads with confidence, embraces innovation, and understands that great results come from strong people, disciplined processes, and a culture of accountability.



What You'll DoLead, Develop, and Empower Your Team

  • Lead and develop warehouse personnel, delivery drivers, and operational staff.
  • Establish clear expectations, measurable performance standards, and a culture of accountability.
  • Coach employees, recognize potential, and build a team capable of making sound decisions independently.
  • Address performance challenges proactively and make difficult personnel decisions when necessary.
  • Foster a positive, professional, and results-driven work environment.

Drive Operational Excellence

  • Oversee daily branch operations, including warehouse management, inventory, logistics, and delivery scheduling.
  • Coordinate resources, staffing, and operational priorities to meet demanding construction schedules and customer commitments.
  • Anticipate challenges, eliminate bottlenecks, and proactively solve operational problems.
  • Maintain strong inventory controls, improve accuracy, minimize shrinkage, and optimize inventory levels.
  • Ensure compliance with DOT, OSHA, and company safety standards.
  • Collaborate with purchasing, sales, and project management teams to support efficient operations.

Own Operational and Financial Performance

  • Take ownership of branch operating costs, labor efficiency, productivity, and financial performance.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and use operational data to drive informed decisions.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and increase profitability.
  • Manage resources responsibly while maintaining exceptional service and quality standards.
  • Develop and implement measurable operational improvements.

Deliver Exceptional Customer Service

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with builders, project managers, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Proactively manage customer expectations and ensure operational commitments are met.
  • Resolve complex customer challenges professionally, decisively, and with a solutions-oriented approach.
  • Balance customer satisfaction with operational efficiency and financial responsibility.
  • Protect and strengthen Carolina Stone Products' reputation for responsiveness, reliability, and quality.

Lead Change and Continuous Improvement

  • Champion new processes, technologies, and operational initiatives.
  • Help employees embrace change and develop better ways of working.
  • Leverage ERP systems, reporting tools, and operational technology to improve efficiency, visibility, and accountability.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and take initiative to implement solutions.
  • Partner with senior leadership to support company-wide initiatives and continued growth.



What We're Looking For

We're looking for a proven operational leader who combines hands-on industry experience with strong business judgment, personal accountability, and the ability to inspire others.


Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in the construction industry.
  • Demonstrated experience managing warehouse personnel and delivery drivers.
  • Strong understanding of logistics, inventory management, scheduling, and operational planning.
  • Proven ability to lead teams, develop employees, and manage performance.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with customers, employees, and senior leadership.
  • Ability to work on-site at our Morrisville, NC headquarters.

  • What Will Set You Apart

    • Experience leading a construction-related distribution or subcontracting operation.
    • Demonstrated responsibility for operating budgets, cost controls, and P&L performance.
    • A proven track record of improving operational efficiency, productivity, or profitability.
    • Experience coordinating complex delivery schedules and construction-related logistics.
    • Strong proficiency with ERP systems, operational reporting, and technology-driven processes.
    • Experience successfully implementing operational improvements and leading teams through change.
    • Familiarity with DOT and OSHA regulatory requirements.
    • Established experience working with builders, general contractors, project managers, and subcontractors.
    • Spanish-language proficiency is a plus.



    The Kind of Leader Who Thrives Here

    You don't wait to be told what needs to be done.

    You anticipate challenges, take initiative, and solve problems before they become crises.

    You know your numbers and understand how operational decisions affect profitability.

    You develop people rather than simply direct them. You establish expectations, hold your team accountable, and give employees the tools and confidence to succeed.

    You communicate openly, challenge ideas constructively, and understand when to make decisions independently and when to involve leadership.

    You're comfortable with change, eager to improve processes, and willing to embrace new technologies and better ways of doing business.

    Most importantly, you take ownership.

    You understand that running a successful operation isn't about doing everything yourself. It's about building a team, creating effective systems, and consistently delivering results.
