Business Unit General Manager

Yellowstone Local is proud to represent Mazama Services, an industry leader in water treatment. You’re not stepping into a business that needs babysitting. You’re stepping into one with real potential, a developing team, strong products, and the opportunity to build the operation into what it should be. This is a sales-focused General Manager role responsible for managing and growing the Aon Water Technology water filtration business unit. You’ll lead the team, drive revenue, strengthen sales performance, and build the systems and partnerships needed to expand the business. What's in It for You? Base Salary: $75,000–$90,000 annually Approximately $20,000 in annual performance opportunity through monthly KPI bonuses Additional earning upside for exceeding goals and sustaining strong performance over three-month periods Company-branded take-home vehicle BCBS health and dental coverage, with Mazama paying 50% of the employee rate 401(k) with 3% employer match Up to 40 hours of accrued regular PTO plus 20 hours of Holiday PTO Approved relocation assistance of $2,000–$5,000 Direct reporting relationship with the President of Mazama Services Opportunity to earn greater operating authority as you demonstrate sound judgment, leadership, and business performance Lead an established business with premium Kinetico equipment, an excellent CRM platform, an existing customer base, and shared-company resources Why You’ll Love It Here You’ll own a stable but underdeveloped water treatment operation with significant opportunities for revenue growth, consultative sales, service, installation quality, and channel development. You’ll directly coach and develop a young frontline team instead of managing through layers of middle management. You’ll have the opportunity to shape sales processes, installation QA, technical development, Builder Plan expansion, affiliate marketing, and the future leadership structure of the business. Mazama believes leadership means protecting customers, developing employees, owning results, communicating directly, and making decisions based on evidence. You won’t be expected to personally solve every technical, sales, or operational problem. You’ll be expected to build a team and operating system capable of solving them consistently. You’ll have access to shared support across Dispatch, Customer Service, Marketing, Accounting, Inventory, Human Resources, and other Mazama functions. The opportunity is substantial, and so is the responsibility. Installation quality needs improvement, technical capabilities need continued development, and new growth channels need to be built. If you thrive on driving sales, developing people, and growing businesses, that’s the opportunity.

Make hiring, coaching, disciplinary, and performance-management decisions within established company procedures and authority. Work closely with the President and shared-service teams to align staffing, marketing, inventory, financial performance, and operational priorities.
