What we need:
Guardian Restoration is seeking a VP, Transformation to serve as a high-impact, high-agency leader responsible for driving some of the company's most critical operational and strategic priorities across its portfolio of Partner Companies.
Reporting to the Chief Growth Officer, this role will work closely with Market Area Presidents, Partner Company General Managers, service-line leaders, enterprise teams, and external partners to identify high-value opportunities, create structure in ambiguous situations, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
This role is ideal for an exceptional analytical problem solver who is ready to move beyond recommendations and into ownership of execution and results. The successful candidate will bring the horsepower to quickly diagnose complex business challenges, the judgment to prioritize what matters most, and the credibility to drive change across a matrixed, field-based operating environment.
As VP, Transformation, this leader will be deployed against high-priority initiatives that may include Partner Company turnarounds, enterprise-wide data standardization, strategic partnerships, and other enterprise-critical efforts that improve performance across the business.
Success will require a bias for action, strong analytical rigor, operational curiosity, and the ability to influence outcomes without relying on formal authority. This is a career-accelerating opportunity for someone who wants to build broad operational leadership capability in a fast-moving, multi-site environment while serving as a force multiplier for senior leadership.
Key Responsibilities
Drive High-Impact Outcomes Across the Portfolio

• Own and deliver against a defined set of enterprise priorities, with clear accountability for measurable outcomes, not just analysis or recommendations.
• Identify high-impact opportunities across Partner Companies and the broader organization, and take ownership of driving them forward.
• Balance multiple workstreams simultaneously, prioritizing based on business impact, urgency, and organizational need.

Lead Partner Company Turnarounds

• Co-own the turnaround of underperforming Partner Companies, diagnosing root causes and working with Market Area Presidents and FP&A to implement changes that restore performance.
• Work directly with local leadership and field teams to drive execution, strengthen operating discipline, and establish a path to 2026 exit run-rate targets.
• Move beyond planning to ensure changes are implemented, adopted, and sustained over time.

Shape and Execute the Transformation Roadmap

• Partner with executive leadership to define, refine, and advance the transformation agenda.
• Recommend prioritization based on impact, feasibility, and urgency, while constructively challenging assumptions when needed.
• Lead enterprise initiatives that may include third-party partner identification and negotiations, tool implementation, AI tool evaluation and rollout, and enterprise data standardization.

Apply Rigorous, Action-Oriented Analytics

• Conduct high-quality analysis to inform decisions across operational and strategic priorities.
• Translate incomplete or imperfect data into clear insights, practical recommendations, and actionable direction.
• Maintain a high standard for analytical accuracy, ensuring outputs are reliable, decision-ready, and tied to business outcomes.

Oversee P&Ls for Environmental and Rebuild Service Lines

• Act as the enterprise owner for non-Mitigation P&Ls, reviewing performance and coaching General Managers and Market Area Presidents on local and regional performance trends.
• Identify, build, and implement a select set of tooling standards for these service lines.
• Create and maintain associated Guardian playbooks, training resources, and operating standards to support consistent execution across the portfolio.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate is an outcomes-oriented operator with a combination of analytical rigor, strategic thinking, and hands-on execution capability.
Experience

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or relevant advanced degree preferred. Academic or professional background in business, finance, accounting, economics, operations, or another analytical discipline preferred.
• 5-10+ years of experience in consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, private equity portfolio operations, business operations, finance, or another analytically rigorous role.
• 3-5+ years of operational experience preferred, ideally in residential services, commercial services, restoration, construction, facilities services, logistics, or another multi-site or field-based environment.
• Experience operating in or closely partnering with field-based, distributed, or multi-site teams.
• Demonstrated track record of driving measurable outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving, or high-stakes situations.
• Advanced analytical capabilities with the ability to interpret data, identify trends, and translate insights into action.
• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing outcomes without direct authority.

Leadership Attributes

• Ownership and accountability: Takes responsibility for outcomes, self-directs work effectively, and drives progress without requiring close management.
• Strategic and tactical range: Moves effectively between problem framing, executive-level recommendations, and detailed execution.
• Ability to create clarity from ambiguity: Structures undefined problems, identifies the core issues, and defines a clear path forward.
• Field partnership: Builds trust with local leaders and field teams, communicates clearly, and adapts enterprise priorities to operational realities.
• Analytical rigor: Maintains a high bar for accuracy, with outputs that are trusted, actionable, and tied to business decisions.
• Execution discipline: Focuses on delivering measurable results, not just producing analysis or recommendations.
• Constructive challenge: Pushes on assumptions, tradeoffs, and priorities in service of better outcomes.
• Matrixed leadership: Achieves outcomes without direct authority by building credibility, aligning stakeholders, and persistently driving adoption.
• Ability to balance detail with scale: Goes deep enough to understand local execution while building systems, tools, and standards that improve performance across the portfolio.

Skills That Will Make You Successful in This Role
