You will drive a higher level of customer service, follow-through, urgency, and accountability that sets VP apart in the market. You will be responsible for growing sales, leading daily branch operations, building customer relationships, developing a strong local reputation, and creating a team culture focused on ownership, service, safety, and results.

- Create a branch culture built around ownership, teamwork, communication, and follow-through
- Partner closely with VP Supply leadership on growth strategies and market development
- Bring new ideas forward and take ownership of executing plans that move the business forward

- Lead by example and be willing to jump in wherever needed
Requirements
What We’re Looking For:- Leadership experience within plumbing, HVAC, industrial distribution, building materials, construction supply, or a closely related industry

- You will have the opportunity to make a visible impact—growing a customer base, developing a team, strengthening VP’s reputation in the market, and creating a level of service that customers remember.
- You will have autonomy, but you will not be on your own. You will have the backing of experienced leadership, operational resources, established vendor relationships, and a company that has been successfully serving its customers for more than six decades.
