The posting

Own a P&L. Build a business. Grow a career.

Lighthouse Service Partners is a people-first trades company on a mission to partner with and grow home service businesses across plumbing, HVAC, electrical and related trades all over Australia.

The Opportunity

As a General Manager at Lighthouse Service Partners, you'll take full P&L ownership of a business under our portfolio of companies. This isn't a caretaker role — it's a build role. You'll drive growth, shape culture, and get hands-on with every part of the business, backed by a fast-moving parent company and a proven playbook. No trades background required. We're looking for sharp, driven operators who want to learn fast and grow into something bigger — including future organic growth initiatives and M&A opportunities.

To set you up for success, incoming GMs go through LEAP — our Lighthouse Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program. LEAP is a structured pathway that gets you close to the business before you're running it solo: real site visits, a proven scorecard framework, and hands-on exposure to what it actually takes to operate a trades business — so you step into P&L ownership prepared, not thrown in the deep end.

What You'll Do

  • Own the P&L — drive gross profit and EBITDA growth, and own reporting to senior leadership
  • Build and lead high-performing teams, and develop the next generation of managers
  • Drive operational excellence across systems, processes, and people
  • Get close to the customer and relentlessly improve their experience
  • Set strategy, move fast, and make data-informed calls

What You Bring

  • A track record of driving impact and beating targets — SMB general management or senior leadership experience a plus
  • Strong FP&A chops: budgeting, financial management, P&L ownership
  • High EQ, sharp people instincts, and a genuine interest in developing others
  • A resourceful, scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a strategic mindset
  • A degree (MBA or equivalent a bonus, not a requirement)
  • Respect for the trades — or the hunger to earn it fast

Why Lighthouse?

You'll get real P&L ownership most people don't see until much later in their careers, a structured runway through LEAP to set you up before you're flying solo, direct mentorship from a team backed by one of the most respected people-development investment firms in the industry, and a fast track to bigger leadership and M&A opportunities as we scale.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
