The posting

The Role and Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced operator to lead an American Operator commercial flooring company as CEO. This is an opportunity to step into a profitable business with a long-tenured team and established public-sector contracts already in place. You’ll assume full day-to-day operations and P&L responsibility. This is not a turnaround. Your job will be to retain the team and customers, build the systems and sales organization the business needs to scale beyond its founders, and grow from a position of strength. American Operator is your partner from day one, with a clear pathway to earn significant equity in the business you lead.

What You’ll Do

- Grow the business with a focus on key business performance metrics as you lead day-to-day operations

- Develop and lead a team with a culture of high accountability and performance, supported by clear systems and processes

- Lead the transition of school district, municipal, and county relationships from the founding owners to a scalable sales team

- Win, renew, and expand public-sector and cooperative purchasing contracts, and build new growth channels beyond the core market

- Ensure the field operations team delivers exceptional installation work while building year-round capacity

- Partner with American Operator on strategy, budgeting, and growth planning

Requirements

To be considered for this role, you must meet every one of the following:

- 7+ years of leadership experience

- Experience owning P&L performance in a seasonal business

- Experience building high performance teams with accountability for hiring and firing

- Leadership in a trades or commercial services business that leveraged a subcontracted labor pool

- Experience leading sales and business development in a relationship-driven business

- Currently located in or a willingness to relocate to Long Island, New York

What Sets You Apart

- You have won and managed public-sector work through bids, cooperative contracts, or institutional procurement, and earned the trust of facilities leaders who value reliability over price

- Stepped in as the new leader after a leadership transition, turned founders who remained in the business into allies, and built trust with the existing team

- You brought structure (job costing, forecasting, a CRM) to an informal business without losing its culture

- A track record of driving growth in multiple roles and companies with a competitive spirit

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
