The successful candidate will be responsible for leading enterprise-wide process mapping, redesign, and standardization, as well as identifying and addressing operational bottlenecks. A key aspect of the role is to establish and run a Transformation PMO, ensuring that initiatives are delivered on time and within budget, and driving a culture of continuous improvement. The COO will also be instrumental in standing up and scaling an offshore outsourcing program, balancing cost efficiency with service quality, and leading a team through significant operational change. The ideal background for this role includes experience as a PE Operating Partner, Operational CFO, or COO/Head of Operations in a PE-backed, services, logistics, or transaction-heavy business.

The COO will work closely with the CEO and Board, and will be expected to build a culture of ownership, clarity, and execution discipline within the organization.
