This is a rare opportunity to step into the inner circle of a driven, entrepreneurial leader, where your judgment, agility, and discretion will be tested daily.
Our COO moves fast, thinks big, and demands excellence. Your mission is to anticipate needs before they are voiced, remove friction from every process, and manage both professional and personal priorities with precision. You will be the person who ensures nothing slips through the cracks—whether it’s negotiating with a bank, arranging international travel, executing complex research, or solving a problem before it becomes one.
The Environment High-intensity. Fast-moving. No two days the same. You will be embedded in the center of decision-making, exposed to confidential strategic conversations, and relied upon to act with complete discretion. Thick skin, polished presence, and a calm demeanor under pressure are essential.

What We’re Looking For
Proven track record supporting a C-suite executive in a high-pressure environment
Unmatched organizational skills and obsessive attention to detail
Sharp judgment, excellent problem-solving, and forward-thinking mindset
Grace and professionalism in all interactions—internal and external
Entrepreneurial spirit with a team-oriented mindset
The ability to keep pace with a leader who is always three steps ahead
The Upside For the right candidate, this is more than a job—it’s a career pivot into the heart of a thriving business. You will gain unparalleled exposure to high-level strategy, build deep industry knowledge, and have direct influence on the COO ability to lead. Professional and financial growth opportunities are significant for someone who proves indispensable.
If you are an elite-level professional who thrives under pressure, loves solving problems at speed, and sees challenges as opportunities, we want to meet you. This is a role for someone who is as ambitious as they are reliable—and ready to step into a position of true influence.
