Chief Operating Officer (COO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to translate organizational strategy into effective execution and strengthen performance across the organization. The COO will partner with executive leadership to develop operating plans, budgets, priorities, performance measures, and risk-management practices, while providing data-informed recommendations to leadership and the Board. Responsibilities include leading cross-functional teams, improving accountability and collaboration, and overseeing operational infrastructure, financial operations, and human resources. The COO will also support organizational growth by strengthening systems, technology, governance, and capacity, and by partnering with development leadership to ensure fundraising efforts are supported by effective operations. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree and at least 15 years of progressive leadership experience, including senior operations, general management, or enterprise leadership in a nonprofit, healthcare, public health, advocacy, or similarly mission-driven setting. An advanced degree and experience as a COO or in a comparable executive role are preferred. The role requires a record of leading organizational growth and change, translating strategy into measurable results, and using financial information, performance metrics, and other data to guide decisions. Strong stakeholder alignment, team development, communication, judgment, systems thinking, and problem-solving skills are essential; experience working with executive leaders and boards is also valued.
