The posting

Company Description

We’re working with a successful, established Hamilton-based New Zealand business that is entering an exciting phase of growth across New Zealand and Australia.

We’re looking for an experienced Chief Operating Officer to take genuine ownership of the day-to-day internal operation, allowing the CEO to focus more heavily on strategy, growth and external relationships.

This is a broad, hands-on leadership role with responsibility across operations, people, technology, systems, performance and risk. You’ll lead the management team, strengthen accountability, improve business processes and ensure the organisation has the capability and infrastructure to support its next stage of growth.

Job Description

What you'll be doing

This is a role where you’ll be at the centre of the business. Working closely with the CEO, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day operation and make sure the moving parts of the organisation are working together effectively.

You’ll lead the Heads of Department, building a stronger leadership team with clear accountability, good communication and the confidence to make decisions. You’ll be the person who gets into the detail when needed, spots issues early and makes sure things get followed through.

A big part of your role will be making the business work smarter. You’ll lead improvements to systems, processes and reporting, including the implementation and adoption of new technology. You’ll bring greater visibility around performance and help the business use its data to make better decisions.

You’ll also have a broad view of the business, with oversight across people, finance, compliance, H&S, risk and operational performance. As the business continues to grow across New Zealand and Australia, you’ll help ensure the leadership capability, systems and infrastructure keep pace.

Most importantly, you’ll give the CEO the confidence to step out of the day-to-day and focus on strategy, growth and the future of the business.

It’s a role for someone who likes to get things done, enjoys variety and wants to have a genuine impact.

Qualifications

About you

You’ll be an experienced operational leader who enjoys getting under the hood of a business, understanding how things work and making them better.

You’ll bring:

  • Proven experience leading a complex operation and a team of leaders
  • Strong commercial judgement and business acumen
  • Experience leading significant systems, ERP or CRM implementation/change
  • A track record of building leadership capability and accountability
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities while keeping sight of the bigger picture
  • A pragmatic, hands-on approach and the confidence to get into the detail when required
  • The curiosity to ask questions, challenge assumptions and look for better ways of doing things
  • Resilience and the ability to remain calm when things get busy or don't go to plan

We’re looking for strong operational leaders from transport, logistics, hospitality, technology, professional services, retail, manufacturing and other customer-focused businesses.

Additional Information

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to join a growing business where you can genuinely make your mark.

You’ll have the opportunity to build the operating rhythm, leadership capability and systems that will allow the business to scale, while giving the CEO greater freedom to focus on strategy and growth.

If you’re looking for a COO role where you can take ownership and have a genuine impact, we’d like to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
