The Vice President and Head of Sales & Business Development will manage a team of 3-5+ Project Estimators, execute verbal and on-site bids for natural gas line installation and repair jobs, and spearhead business development and account management initiatives. Over time, this person will take on additional sales and marketing responsibilities, such as pricing and promotion strategy. Reporting directly to the CEO, this role is a crucial member of our leadership team and presents an exciting opportunity for a mid-career professional interested in SMB and/or PE portfolio company sales and operations.

  • Develop and manage relationships with contractors and retailers who refer TGC
  • Coach, train, and mentor team of ~3-5 Project Estimators
  • Hold estimators accountable for setting and meeting performance goals, and make hiring/firing decisions as needed, in consultation with the CEO
