  • Analytical Insight : Leverage data to identify trends, diagnose performance gaps, and develop strategies for continuous improvement.

  • Take ownership of escalated client service issues : driving resolution strategies that turn negative experiences into long-term retention opportunities for clients by directly managing clients most likely to churn (estimated at ~5% of your book).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with HQ teams, providing input into strategic decisions and advocating for your market's needs and opportunities.

We're looking for you to bring :

  • 8+ years of experience in operations, client management, or general management, ideally in a growth-stage or service-driven organization.

  • Leadership Principles in Action as General Manager, Operations :

    Honor's Leadership Principles are the foundation of translating our mission into action. These principles define how we show up and make decisions, and how we hire, develop and grow talent. While Honor has 13 leadership principles, the following are particularly relevant to this role :

    Relentlessly Focus on Clients

    The GM is ultimately accountable for client retention, satisfaction, and market growth. That means every strategic decisionwhether staffing, operations, or partner managementmust start with the client and work backwards. By keeping clients at the center, the GM ensures Honor delivers consistent, reliable, and compassionate care, which in turn drives business outcomes.

  • Prioritizing policies and staffing decisions that enhance client experience.
  • Using client satisfaction and churn metrics as leading indicators of success.
  • Ensuring the client journeyfrom onboarding to ongoing careis seamless and trustworthy.
  • Always Push

    General Managers set the tone for performance in their markets. "Always Push" means refusing to accept mediocrity, setting ambitious goals, and demanding excellence in execution. In a GM's role, this principle translates to challenging the team to hit aggressive targets in growth, retention, and efficiency while also innovating on new approaches to care delivery.

  • Driving continuous improvement across staffing, operations, and partner collaboration.
  • Setting high standards for team performance and accountability.
  • Challenging teams to solve tough problems creatively rather than settling for short-term fixes.
  • GSD (Get Stuff Done)

    Markets move fast, and a GM must deliver results consistently. "GSD" ensures the GM is execution-focused : moving initiatives forward, hitting KPIs, and turning strategy into reality. It's not just about big-picture thinking, but also about operational follow-through that creates visible impact month after month.

  • Meeting or exceeding key metrics like client retention, fulfillment quality, and revenue growth.
  • Driving accountability across market leaders (Client Managers, CPRMs, Recruiters) to deliver outcomes.
  • Modeling urgency and tangible progress, ensuring the market is always advancing toward goals.
  • Are Mission First

    The GM balances many competing demandsclients, Care Pros, partners, internal teams, and financial performance. "Mission First" ensures the GM makes trade-offs that stay aligned with Honor's purpose : to change the way we care for older adults. Mission alignment prevents short-term decisions from undermining long-term trust and growth.

  • Making strategic choices rooted in Honor's broader mission, not just market-level wins.
  • Aligning the team around why their work matters, not just what they need to do.
  • Ensuring Care Pros and clients feel the mission in every interaction.
  • Identify Problems

    General Managers can't fix what they can't see. "Identify Problems" ensures GMs stay close enough to operations to spot issues early, diagnose root causes, and drive systemic solutions. This principle helps GMs avoid firefighting mode by addressing the real source of problems, not just their symptoms.

  • Monitoring KPIs and feedback loops to surface risks before they escalate.
  • Partnering cross-functionally to solve root causes (e.g., staffing shortages, Care Pro churn).
  • Creating a culture where teams feel safe raising issues and confident that solutions
