We are searching for an experienced and high calibre COO for a fast-growing marketing agency. Our client is an award-winning agency in the social media marketing and digital marketing space and has recently been backed by a private equity house to support its international growth strategy. Crucially, the COO will come from a finance background and will have a finance qualification (e.g. CIMA / ACCA etc).
The business has a roster of blue chip clients and a fantastic workplace culture, which it has retained through its rapid growth. There are over 150 staff at present, a number which is projected to more than double in the 2-3 years. The business seeks an experienced COO to bring in processes and procedures to this entrepreneurial, and still founder-managed, business whilst retaining its young, creative and vibrant culture.
The business is looking to open a New York office shortly and would like the COO to have international experience, ideally in the US.
The new COO will –
* Bring best-in-class ways of working, including processes and systems;
* Support growth both in the UK and internationally, perhaps via acquisition;
* Work in close partnership with the high-calibre founder and management team;
* Help the business to deliver profitable and high quality work for its clients.
There is a six figure package and equity for the new COO, who will play a vital role in the future growth of this business that really is as the forefront of its field.
