Qurated is a founder-led search and consulting firm working with leading businesses across Financial Services, Legal Services and Private Equity. We operate across three service lines, Executive Search, Adaptive Teams, and Talent Projects and have been building for around 10 years. We are hiring our first Chief Operating Officer.
The role
The COO will be responsible for building the operating infrastructure the business needs to scale sustainably, putting structure and repeatable processes in place across all functions, creating a single source of truth for data and metrics, and ensuring the organisation follows through properly on the things that matter most.
You will be involved in:
- Designing and embedding repeatable processes across all functions where informal ways of working currently exist
- Creating a single source of truth for data and metrics so decisions are made with clarity
- Driving rigorous follow-through across the business so initiatives land properly and do not stall
- Prioritising ruthlessly to protect organisational focus and prevent scope creep
- Coaching and developing team members as the business builds out its management layer
- Working directly with the founders to shape how the business operates and scales
Why this opportunity
- You will have genuine authority and the expectation to push back when required, this is a counterpart role, not an executor role
- You will have the opportunity to help scale a high performing business and have a long term impact
- Prior exposure to founder-led businesses is a plus, but what matters most is the scaling track record and the ability to operate with pace and discipline in a high-growth environment
What we are looking for
This opportunity would suit someone who has scaled a business through the 20 to 100 people journey at least once, and has the interpersonal credibility and operational discipline to lead from the front. A background in finance, operations, or commercial functions is preferred. CFOs who have demonstrably performed a COO remit in practice are equally in scope.
