<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">ABOUT AMERICAN OPERATOR</h2>
American Operator exists to keep the American Dream alive through small-business leadership &amp; ownership. We place experienced operators into businesses of retiring owners who want their life&rsquo;s work placed in capable, values-driven hands. Our mission is to ensure great businesses stay local, stay strong, and stay in the hands of leaders who care.
Operators who partner with us step into the CEO role of an established company and receive the support, coaching, and community needed to grow it for the next generation. Over time, they follow a clear pathway toward becoming a significant equity owner (70%) if growth targets are met.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
