FRACTIONAL COO

Company Strategy & Planning

Partner with the CEO on annual/quarterly strategy, translate goals into operating plans, identify the highest-leverage priorities, and drive cross-functional execution.

Business Performance

Own company-level KPIs, operating dashboards, forecasting, unit economics, budgets, and performance reviews. Surface risks and opportunities early and drive corrective action.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Coordinate across functions like product, sales, marketing, operations, finance, supply chain, and customer experience. Resolve bottlenecks and clarify ownership when work spans teams.

Operational Infrastructure

Build the processes, systems, reporting rhythms, SOPs, and decision-making frameworks needed to scale from an early-stage company into a more mature organization.

People & Organization

Help design the org structure, identify hiring priorities, recruit key leaders, establish accountability, and build management practices as the team grows.

Financial & Resource Management

Partner with the CEO/CFO or fractional finance team on budgeting, cash planning, investment decisions, hiring plans, and resource allocation.

Special Initiatives

Lead high-impact projects that don't naturally belong to one department—new markets, launches, partnerships, expansion, fundraising preparation, restructuring, etc.

CEO Leverage

Reduce the amount of day-to-day operational management sitting with the CEO so they can focus on areas like product vision, fundraising, key relationships, brand, or other founder-specific strengths.
