The Opportunity

We are partnering with a large, national, multi-site organization to identify a Vice President of Centralized National Facilities to lead a broad digital and operational transformation across a complex, geographically distributed portfolio.

The role is ideal for a leader who has successfully transformed legacy, decentralized operations into digitally enabled, performance-driven organizations.

This position is onsite in Plano, TX and requires a hands-on leader who values presence, partnership, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Translate complex operational and financial data into clear executive-level insights and recommendations.

• Use data storytelling to prioritize investments and focus resources where they create the greatest impact.

Capital Strategy & Program Execution

• Own the strategy, governance, and execution of the annual capital expenditure program across HVAC, elevators, fire/life safety, and other national facilities initiatives.

• Digitize capital planning, forecasting, and reporting processes to improve predictability and control.

• Ensure consistent execution of national programs through standardized tools, workflows, and accountability frameworks.

Process Design & Operating Model Excellence

• Design and implement scalable, repeatable processes that support growth while reducing variability.

• Develop national standards, policies, and digital workflows that enable speed, compliance, and cost efficiency.

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using data-driven insights and modern operating principles.

People Leadership & Change Enablement

• Lead and develop a national team through significant organizational and technological change.

• Build change management capability across the organization, ensuring adoption of new systems and ways of working.

• Recruit, mentor, and retain leaders who combine operational expertise with digital fluency.

Who You Are

• A proven executive who has led enterprise transformation in facilities, operations, real estate, or infrastructure-heavy environments.

• Highly data-literate, with experience using analytics to influence strategy, investment decisions, and performance outcomes.

• Comfortable modernizing legacy systems and guiding teams through technology-enabled change.

• Strategic in vision, decisive in execution, and accountable for results.

• An effective communicator who can influence senior executives and cross-functional partners.

• Willing to support a travel-intensive role and be onsite in Plano, TX.

Experience & Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in facilities management, operations, or a related discipline.

• Demonstrated experience implementing or scaling enterprise systems, facilities platforms, or digital tools.

• Experience managing large, multi-location portfolios; national retail, real estate, or service-based platforms preferred.

• Strong background in capital planning, budgeting, forecasting, and vendor-managed programs.

• Knowledge of facilities operations including HVAC, construction, elevators, roofing, paving, and life-safety systems.

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced business degree preferred.

Why This Role

This is a build-and-transform leadership role, not a caretaker position. The organization is investing in systems, data, and modernization, and this executive will play a central role in shaping how facilities operations scale, perform, and deliver value for years to come.
