District Manager in Tampa, Florida at Bubble Down Car Wash

We’re on a mission to build the best car wash operation in Florida — and we’re looking for a leader hungry to own it.

We’re scaling from 8 to 30+ locations, and growth like that is earned through relentless execution, accountable leaders, and a standard that holds everywhere. This is one of the most exciting chapters in our company’s story, and this role sits right at the center of it.

This role owns multi-site performance. You’re responsible for up to 10 sites performing at a premium level across operations, people, and profitability. Head Office sets the standard; you bring it to life across every site in your district — and you’ll have real influence over how we operate as we scale.

You won’t do it alone. You’ll work inside a clear operating structure — partnering with a District HR Manager who owns recruiting, training, and people systems, and alongside maintenance leadership who own asset uptime. You own the field outcome; they own the infrastructure behind it. That partnership is by design, and it’s what lets great operators do their best work here.

This is a role for someone who takes ownership, moves fast, and gets results through people. If that’s you, you’ll do the best work of your career here — with the standard, the structure, and the runway to grow as we expand across Florida.

You’ll report directly to the COO.

Own retention, stability, and team effectiveness across your district

Drive timely, well-documented recommendations on hiring, advancement, and termination — with cross-functional alignment and final approval per company standard

Partner with the District HR Manager, who owns recruiting, workforce planning, and training systems; you own the field outcome, not the people machinery

Address underperformance early and document it thoroughly

Labor & Financial Ownership

Control labor, scheduling, and expenses to protect site profitability

Drive alignment to labor targets and eliminate avoidable overtime — within the pay period, not after

Hold Site Managers accountable for labor and expense performance

Operational Discipline

What You Bring

A demonstrated track record improving site-level performance — labor, NOI, retention, or customer metrics — across more than one location

Comfort holding leaders to a high bar; you prioritize clarity and direct feedback over consensus

A bias for action: you solve problems at the source instead of escalating them

Strong financial literacy across labor, P&L, and staffing outcomes

Proficiency with standard business and operational software (Microsoft Office or similar)

Ability to move across uneven terrain and site equipment areas, and to bend, stoop, reach, and lift up to 50 lbs as needed

Ability to stay alert and respond quickly in an active operational environment
