What You'll Own:
This isn't a checklist job. You'll have real ownership across four areas:
Customer & Front Line
Answer every inbound call and text — same-day, every time
Onboard new clients and set expectations that make them loyal for years
Proactively reach out to existing clients to keep relationships strong
Follow up on Google reviews after completed jobs
Scheduling & Dispatch Support
Manage the lead sheet from intake to close — nothing falls through
Build and distribute the weekly job schedule alongside our Field Manager
Handle reschedules and re-services before they ever reach the owner
QC our job software (FieldRoutes) daily: jobs closed out, photos uploaded, billing correct
Finance & Back Office
Run biweekly payroll accurately and on time
Track and follow up on outstanding receivables and declined cards
Manage insurance renewals, certificates of insurance, and claims
Keep receipts and records flowing to the accountant
People Operations
Help onboard new technicians — paperwork, systems access, first-day experience
Post and manage job ads, screen applicants, and schedule interviews
Keep the KPI dashboard current for weekly leadership review
What Success Looks Like in 90 Days
The owner's phone volume is cut in half
Zero missed lead follow-ups — the lead sheet is always current
Payroll and the cash tracker run without the owner touching them
