Experienced

Company Overview

We are partnering with a well-established luxury smart home technology company based in Rye Brook, NY, serving high-end residential clients throughout Westchester County. With more than 25 years in business, this integrator has built deep, long-standing relationships with an elite clientele and earned a reputation for uncompromising quality and service.

Leadership describes the team as a close-knit family that puts people first and prides itself on transparency and straight-shooter communication. The company is entering a significant growth phase and is investing seriously in building out its service department into a business unit that can rival installation in scale and importance.

Why Join Us?

  • Build and Lead a Growing Department — This is a ground floor opportunity to help build the company's service department from within, with a clear path to hiring and leading a team as it grows.

  • Established Reputation, Room to Grow — With more than 25 years in business and a loyal, high-end residential clientele, the company is entering a period of significant growth and investing in the people who help get it there.

Job Overview

The Service Manager will be the primary point of contact for all service-related requests, from established clients and newly onboarded accounts alike. This is a hands-on, client-facing role that blends technical programming work with day-to-day service coordination. The Service Manager will respond directly to client communications, resolve issues remotely whenever possible, and deploy onsite to complete programming, troubleshooting, or system adjustments when a remote fix isn't enough.

A key part of the role is proactive: each morning, the Service Manager monitors client systems to catch offline devices or emerging issues before they become service calls. When additional support is needed for a same-day or urgent issue, this person coordinates with the broader team through shared communication channels.

This is a true ground-floor opportunity. The Service Manager will work closely with ownership to help build and formalize the company's client-facing service program, with a clear path to growing the department into its own team as it scales. The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter who takes ownership of a service call from first contact through resolution and thinks several steps ahead rather than waiting to be told what to do.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all service-related client communications, responding to emails and coordinating scheduling

  • Coordinate with the broader team through shared communication channels when additional support is needed for a same-day or urgent issue

  • Build toward growing the service department into its own team, with the opportunity to hire and lead additional staff as the department scales

  • Support programming and installation on full system builds as time and capacity allow
