ABOUT AMERICAN OPERATOR

American Operator exists to keep the American Dream alive through small-business leadership and ownership. We place experienced operators into businesses of retiring owners who want their life's work placed in the hands of leaders who care. 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. While timing varies by market and acquisition activity, selected candidates enter our CEO network and may be matched with opportunities as they become available.

We are looking for experienced operators who have led landscaping & hardscaping operations at a high-level. This is an opportunity to partner with American Operator through the acquisition process, with the goal of stepping into a profitable, established business with a strong reputation, a loyal customer base, and an experienced team already in place. American Operator leads sourcing and due diligence, and the selected candidate will contribute industry insights during that process before stepping into the operating role post-close.

As CEO, you'll assume full responsibility for day-to-day operations and P&L performance. This is not a turnaround situation, it's an opportunity to build on a solid foundation set by the former owners. Your focus will be on developing and retaining a best-in-class sales force, driving customer acquisition and growth, and scaling the business to new products, customer segments and markets.

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 all business day-to-day operations
Oversee the estimating and bidding process to make sure that the business is winning projects profitably
Develop and lead crew leaders and office staff with a culture of high accountability and performance
Ensure crews deliver consistent, high quality service across every account and route
Protect and grow the recurring maintenance base through strong account retention and renewals
Recruit, manage, and develop field teams in a physically challenging industry with seasonality
Win new accounts and expand existing ones through enhancements, local relationships, and disciplined estimating
Partner with American Operator on strategy, budgeting, and growth planning

REQUIREMENTS

10+ years of leadership experience with at least 3 years of direct field crew oversight
Experience owning P&L performance
Track record of leading and growing a recurring-contract, field-services business with crews and seasonal labor (landscaping, grounds maintenance, janitorial or facility services, snow, pest control, or a similar trade)
Currently located in or a willingness to relocate to one of our target markets (North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware, Arizona, or Tennessee)

WHAT SETS YOU APART

A competitive spirit that always finds a way to win
Military leadership experience
Experience managing hardscaping or other residential or commercial construction projects
An Irrigator license or are a Certified Commercial Pesticide Applicator

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 active markets include North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware, Arizona, and Tennessee. Relocation will be required if you are not currently in or near the market of the opportunity.
