ABOUT AMERICAN OPERATOR

American Operator exists to keep the American Dream alive through small-business leadership and ownership. We buy small businesses between $5M-$15M in revenue from retiring owners who want their life's work in the hands of leaders who care. We place in an experienced operator as CEO and over time, our CEOs follow a clear pathway to earn significant equity in the business they lead.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re actively interviewing CEO candidates for current and future acquisition opportunities. Some candidates may be matched to businesses we already own, while others may be considered for businesses that are currently under acquisition review or expected to be acquired in the future.

While timing varies by market and acquisition activity, selected candidates enter our CEO network and may be matched with opportunities as they become available.

This will be an opportunity to step into a profitable, established Powder Coating business with a strong reputation, loyal customer base, and an experienced team already in place.

As CEO, you'll assume full responsibility for day-to-day operations, team leadership, and P&L performance. This is not a turnaround situation, it's an opportunity to build on a solid foundation. Your focus will be on developing and retaining a great team, driving customer acquisition and growth, executing with operational discipline, and scaling the business from a position of strength.

American Operator will be your partner from day one, providing strategic support, resources, and guidance while empowering you to lead independently. Most importantly, you'll have a clear path to earning significant equity ownership in the business you grow and lead.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Grow the business with a focus on key performance metrics as you lead day-to-day plant operations
Develop and lead the production team, including line leads and applicators, with a culture of high accountability and performance
Oversee production on the finishing line (pretreatment, booths, and cure ovens) with discipline on throughput, quality, and on-time delivery
Build upon existing customer relationships and grow into new end markets to reduce industry concentration
Own company compliance for hazardous waste, and other regulations
Manage equipment upkeep and capex
Partner with American Operator on strategy, budgeting, and growth planning

REQUIREMENTS

7+ years of relevant industry experience, with at least 3 years of P&L ownership over a department or entire plant
Experience building high performance team hourly team with accountability for hiring and performance improvement
You have led operations with a focus on batch production runs on tight timelines
Track record of profitably growing sales for job shops that rely on reputation and service quality
Currently located in or a willingness to relocate to one of our target markets (Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, or Wisconsin)

WHAT SETS YOU APART

Direct experience within powder coating, liquid paint, metal finishing, and metal fabrication.
Owned responsibility for the compliance and record-keeping that comes with a permitted facility (air permits, VOC logs, hazardous waste)
Diversified a customer base across end markets to reduce concentration, and you bring direct powder coating, liquid paint, or metal-finishing experience as a strong plus

COMPENSATION

Base salary: $130,000–$190,000, plus performance-based bonus opportunities, distributions, and meaningful equity participation beginning at 10% ownership, with the potential to increase based on performance and value creation. Total compensation varies by portfolio company, individual performance, and deal structure, and includes a comprehensive benefits package.

LOCATION

Our target acquisition markets include Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Relocation will be required if you are not currently in or near the market of the opportunity.
