As the Chief Operating Officer (COO), it’s your job to ensure that day-to-day operations are running smoothly and efficiently. You will be responsible for managing and coordinating company operations, developing strategies, policies and procedures that maximize productivity, leading team members and building trusting relationships with vendors and other stakeholders.
You’ll oversee the development and implementation of long-term goals, while reporting on progress in a clear and organized manner. Your duties may include overseeing finance, closing deals, networking, analyzing data and collaborating across departments to ensure the success of the business.
At times you may also be called upon to offer advice and guidance on key decisions or strategizing decisions. The COO is typically seen as the second in command at a company – and with that comes both immense responsibility and opportunity for growth.
