Association Director of Custodial Services: From strategy to floors, lead it all, across every location.
Job Description

Salary starting at $80,000 per year based on experience.

About the Role

At the YMCA, this role goes beyond facility cleanliness; it’s about leading teams that create safe, welcoming environments where communities grow. As the Association Director of Custodial Services, you’ll oversee custodial operations across multiple locations, balancing strategy, leadership, and hands-on problem-solving.

Qualifications

This role is a great fit for you if:

You enjoy leading leaders and managing multiple teams across different locations 
You can balance long-term planning with immediate, hands-on problem solving 
You’re comfortable holding people accountable while still building a supportive team culture 
You take pride in high standards for cleanliness, safety, and presentation 
You’re adaptable and can respond quickly to unexpected issues or emergencies 
You don’t mind being on the move, travel between branches is a regular part of the job 

This role may not be a good fit if:

You prefer a single-site role with predictable daily routines 
You want a fully desk-based position with minimal fieldwork 
You’re uncomfortable addressing performance issues or enforcing standards 
You prefer clearly defined days without interruptions or urgent problem-solving 
You’re not available for occasional evenings, weekends, or emergency response situations 
You’re looking for a role without physical or operational involvement

Essential Functions

What you can expect:

This is a multi-site leadership role with both field and administrative responsibilities. You’ll regularly travel between locations, checking facility standards, coaching District Custodial Services Directors, and ensuring consistency across the association.

Your day might include reviewing budgets, addressing staffing gaps, meeting with vendors, conducting safety audits, and responding to urgent issues like building maintenance concerns or cleanliness complaints. While much of your work is strategic, there will be times you step in to support operations directly.

You’ll lead through others: developing leaders, holding teams accountable, and driving performance. You’ll also play a key role in risk management and safety, ensuring compliance with regulations and YMCA standards.

The reality of the role:

What’s rewarding:

Seeing the direct impact of your work on member experience and safety 
Building strong teams and developing future leaders 
Creating consistent, high-quality environments across all locations 
What’s challenging:

Managing competing priorities across multiple sites 
Responding to time-sensitive facility or safety concerns 
Balancing administrative responsibilities with operational demands
