Job Description
Taussig Landscape is looking for an experienced operations leader to run a fast-growing, premium landscape company from the inside out. This isn't a corporate role. It's a hands-on leadership position for someone who knows how to build teams, drive performance, and run a service business at a high level — every single day.
We're a values-based company built on the belief that great outdoor spaces change the way people live. Our tagline is Enriching Lives Through the Outdoors — and we mean it. If you're someone who takes that kind of pride in what you build, you'll fit right in here.
Job Responsibilities
What You'll Do
- Own day-to-day operations across all departments — maintenance, install, irrigation, snow, and admin
- Build and enforce the systems, processes, and standards that allow the company to scale without chaos
- Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team of department heads and field leaders
- Drive financial performance — you know your numbers and you manage to them
- Identify and eliminate inefficiencies across production, scheduling, equipment, and workflows
- Own the hiring, onboarding, and training pipeline so we always have the right people in the right seats
- Maintain the culture and standards that make Taussig Landscape a place people want to work
- Partner directly with the owner to translate vision into execution and results
