Storm Guard Entrepreneurial Leadership Program

The opportunity is extraordinary. The expectations are high. Selection must be earned.

Full-Time W-2 Employee | $60,000 to $75,000 Starting Annual Salary Eligible Benefits + Profit Sharing + Potential Path to 100% Franchise Ownership

The opportunity Think you have what it takes to build and own a successful business? Storm Guard Roofing & Construction is seeking exceptional, entrepreneurial individuals to become Operating Managers of select company-owned locations through our Entrepreneurial Leadership Program.

Storm Guard provides capital, training, business systems, and ongoing support. You take responsibility for growing a profitable operation while also sharing in its profits with our unique performance-based compensation system and potentially earning ownership as an independent franchisee without paying a business purchase price or initial franchise fee.

Only a handful of opportunities will be offered each year in carefully selected markets. Initial opportunities include established territories with historical annual revenue exceeding $1 million; future opportunities may include new-market startups.

Responsibilities

• Drive sales and growth. Prospect, build local relationships, meet with homeowners, inspect properties, develop estimates, present solutions, and close sales.
• Deliver exceptional customer experiences. Communicate clearly and manage roofing and exterior projects from the first interaction through completion.
• Manage production and operations. Coordinate materials, subcontractors, schedules, quality control, and successful project completion.
• Build a profitable business. Manage revenue, gross margins, expenses, collections, and overall financial performance.
• Develop and lead a team. Begin as a hands-on operator, then hire and develop employees as business performance supports growth.
• Lead with accountability. Take initiative, solve problems, use sound judgment, follow Storm Guard systems, and take responsibility for results.

Who we are looking for

• Entrepreneurial ambition, demonstrated achievement, and a strong desire to build a business.
• Exceptional work ethic, self-discipline, resilience, and personal accountability.
• Sales and relationship-building potential, clear communication, and strong organization.
• Resourcefulness, sound judgment, integrity, and commitment to doing the right thing.
• Coachability, humility, learning ability, and the potential to develop and lead a team.

Experience in sales, management, roofing, construction, or home services is helpful but not required. A particular degree or significant personal financial resources are not required. Candidates must demonstrate character, capability, commitment, and potential through specific examples of their actions and results.

Training and support Selected Operating Managers will be required to complete approximately 8 to 12 weeks of paid, immersive training in Fort Worth, Texas. Training will cover sales, estimating, production, customer service, financial management, and business operations. Storm Guard will cover approved training-related lodging and transportation and provides ongoing marketing, accounting, technology, and operational support.

Compensation

• Starting annual base salary of $60,000 to $75,000, plus medical insurance and other eligible employee benefits.
• Annual compensation reviews with opportunities for discretionary salary increases based on overall performance, contributions, leadership, and business profitability. No automatic increases or predetermined amounts apply.
• You will also be entitled to receive bonuses equal to 25% of your location’s Net Profit initially; increasing to 50% of Net Profit immediately after Storm Guard fully recovers its initial and additional invested capital from its share of profits.
• Your bonus percentage could increase to 75% of Net Profit after two full calendar years at the 50% level if your location has continued to meet or exceed 15% annual EBITDA margin standards each year and you have remained in good standing with Storm Guard. Salary and eligible benefits continue.

Potential path to franchise ownership If you meet certain performance levels as an Operating Manager, you will become eligible for potential franchise ownership. The Storm Guard Franchise Leadership team will determine when and if to offer an ownership path to each Operating Manager. If you are approved for, and choose to follow, the ownership path and all legal requirements have been satisfied, then Storm Guard will be in a position to offer you the opportunity to own a franchised Storm Guard business at the location you’ve helped to build. NOTE: This document is not the offer of a franchise or other business opportunity. Storm Guard franchises will be offered only through delivery of a Franchise Disclosure Document prepared and delivered in compliance with federal and state franchise disclosure laws.

Franchise ownership eligibility requires, among other things, at least a 15% annual EBTIDA margin for two consecutive years, full recovery of Storm Guard’s invested capital, demonstrated leadership and operational readiness, and formal Leadership Team approval. Qualifying profitability years may begin during the initial 25% profit-sharing stage.

Our target timeline for the franchise ownership path is approximately three years, with timing dependent on performance and approval. Eligible, approved participants may earn the right to become franchise owners with no requirement to pay Storm Guard a business purchase price or initial franchise fee. Ownership is not guaranteed, and there is no requirement or deadline to become a franchisee.

Upon conversion to a franchised business, your employment compensation and benefits will end. As a franchise owner, you will assume independent business responsibilities and associated obligations, including the requirement to pay franchise royalties and other fees to Storm Guard, and you will be responsible for other ownership-related costs and risks.

Performance and accountability This is a performance-based W-2 leadership role. You are accountable for generating sales, controlling expenses, delivering profitable projects, and building a sustainable business. Continued employment depends on overall performance and progress against approved expectations; the ownership threshold is a separate qualification standard.

Storm Guard provides ongoing coaching and support. Individuals unable to meet performance expectations may be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination and replacement.

Selection must be earned Our selection process will be competitive. Be prepared to explain what you have accomplished, how you have overcome adversity, what motivates you, and why you should receive one of these limited opportunities.

The opportunity is extraordinary. The expectations are high. Selection must be earned.

Our core values: Act with Enthusiasm • Do the Right Thing • Innovate and Grow • Show Respect for Others • Create Exceptional Experiences
