President & Chief Operating Officer Fully Remote | Confidential A high-growth, technology-driven company operating at the intersection of AI, digital commerce, data, and emerging consumer platforms is seeking a President & Chief Operating Officer to help lead its next stage of growth. This is not a traditional COO role. We are looking for an entrepreneurial, commercially minded leader who can move comfortably between strategy and hands-on execution. This person will help grow the client base, lead key client relationships, scale the organization, influence product direction, and partner closely with the founder on major company decisions. The environment is highly analytical, technology-driven, and fast-moving. The right person will enjoy building rather than simply managing, and will be comfortable operating with significant autonomy and accountability. This opportunity offers meaningful equity participation and the potential for expanded leadership responsibility as the company grows.
What You'll Do:
Drive growth: Develop prospective clients, build senior-level relationships, lead strategic sales conversations, and help convert opportunities into long-term partnerships.
Lead key client relationships: Develop a deep understanding of client needs and performance while helping ensure the organization delivers measurable business impact.
Scale the business: Build processes, operating rhythms, teams, and systems that allow the organization to grow without becoming dependent on individual leaders.
Shape strategy: Partner closely with the founder on company strategy, growth priorities, resource allocation, and major business decisions.
Influence product direction: Translate client and market needs into product priorities and work effectively with technology and engineering teams.
Stay hands-on: Personally develop pitches, analyze performance, work through client challenges, build processes, and solve problems rather than simply directing others to do so.
Build and lead teams: Recruit, develop, and lead high-performing teams as the organization grows.
Support future growth initiatives: Participate in broader company priorities including strategic planning, fundraising, and long-term organizational development.
What We're Looking For:
We are looking for an unusually versatile leader who combines commercial instincts, strategic thinking, technology fluency, analytical rigor, and a builder mentality.
Strong candidates will bring:
Meaningful experience in a technology-driven business with responsibility for business, product, client, or operational outcomes.
Demonstrated ability to develop senior client relationships and contribute directly to revenue growth.
Experience owning significant initiatives, teams, business units, products, or operating results.
Strong analytical and financial judgment with the ability to use data to make decisions quickly.
The ability to work effectively with product, technology, and engineering teams. A software engineering background is not required, but strong technology fluency is important.
Experience translating customer and market needs into business or product priorities.
A track record of building or scaling teams, businesses, products, or new initiatives.
Comfort moving between high-level strategy and detailed execution.
An entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to operate in an environment where responsibilities are broad and priorities can evolve quickly.
A high degree of autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and bias toward action.
A low-ego, collaborative leadership style.
Experience in digital commerce, marketplaces, advertising technology, digital media, social platforms, AI-enabled businesses, or other related technology environments is highly relevant.
Experience with a leading strategy consulting firm may also be valuable when combined with meaningful operating experience.
