About the role

Amherst Nurseries in Hadley, MA is seeking an executive to run the business day-to-day and grow into its primary leader. The role involves owning the P&L, driving growth, and advancing to the CEO position in 1–3 years. You will work both in the field and front office, manage landscaping and nursery production, and partner with a long-tenured foreman. A candidate with an MBA or equivalent management experience is preferred and a strong track record of results is expected.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
