Job description

Description
Regional Operations Manager
Kansas City Region | Remote | Full-Time Exempt
Join a team that's shaping the future of water and wastewater services.
Alliance Water Resources is a growing, purpose-driven company committed to providing professional water and wastewater operations to clients across the Midwest. We're looking for a Regional Operations Manager to lead and support a dynamic portfolio of utility operations in northwestern Missouri.
In this high-impact, executive, leadership role, you'll be at the helm of multiple operating divisions-providing strategic guidance, fostering client relationships, and empowering local managers to deliver excellent service and ensure environmental regulatory compliance. Whether working remotely or on-site, you'll be a visible and trusted presence for our clients, our team members, and the communities we serve.
This position requires frequent travel (3-6 overnights/month).
What You'll Do
As a Regional Operations Manager, you'll:
  • Oversee general management of assigned operating units. Guide local managers on staffing, training, performance, and development.
  • Lead budgeting, strategic planning, and client negotiations for each division.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance with environmental, safety, and contract standards.
  • Foster strong client and public relationships; represent Alliance at board/council meetings.
  • Support business development and cross-departmental initiatives.
  • Travel to sites regularly to engage with teams and ensure operational excellence.

Requirements
What We're Looking For
  • We're seeking a goal-oriented executive team leader with a passion for public service, operational excellence, and team development. The ideal candidate will have:
  • Progressive experience managing utility or municipal operations (water and wastewater districts are a big plus), including oversight of people, budgets, and compliance.
  • A strategic mindset and the ability to lead through change and complexity.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • A strong results-driven approach, with proven ability to set goals and drive performance across multiple teams.
  • Working knowledge of water and wastewater systems, regulatory environments, and public administration.
  • BA/BS in Business, Public Administration, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related field (preferred).
