Location - Mountain Time Zone  

Competitive base salary of $240,000–$250,000

​

​

Ready to lead the next phase of growth for a private equity-backed fibre provider?

​

​

Our client, a private equity-backed telecommunications and fibre infrastructure provider, is seeking an experienced Chief Operating Officer to join its executive leadership team during an exciting period of growth.

​

​

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in scaling one of the company's fastest-growing business areas, leading operational excellence across a rapidly expanding Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network while partnering closely with the CEO to drive the organisation's long-term strategic vision.

​

​

The Opportunity

​

As Chief Operating Officer, you will be responsible for leading all operational functions across the business, ensuring the organization continues to scale efficiently while maintaining exceptional customer and employee experiences.

​

This role requires a proven operational leader with deep telecommunications expertise, strong commercial acumen, and a passion for developing high-performing teams.

​

​

Key Responsibilities

• Provide executive leadership across all operational functions.  
• Lead and scale large Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployment programmes.  
• Drive operational excellence across network engineering, construction, customer operations, installations and procurement.  
• Develop scalable processes to support continued organisational growth.  
• Partner with the CEO and executive leadership team to execute strategic initiatives.  
• Foster a high-performance, people-first culture focused on collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.

​

​

About You

We're looking to speak with executives who possess:

• Extensive senior operational leadership experience within the telecommunications industry.  
• Proven success delivering large-scale FTTH deployment programmes.  
• Experience leading multidisciplinary operational teams across engineering, construction, customer operations and procurement.  
• A track record of successfully scaling organisations through periods of rapid growth.  
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to balance operational performance and strategic objectives.  
• Outstanding leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills.

​

Experience within a private equity-backed environment or supporting businesses through significant growth or investment is highly desirable but not essential.

​

​

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Technical expertise is important, but leadership style is equally critical.

​

Our client places significant emphasis on building a positive, people-first culture and is looking for a leader who inspires teams, develops future talent and creates an environment where employees can thrive. The successful candidate will be someone who combines operational excellence with authenticity, collaboration and a genuine passion for people.

​

​

Package

• Competitive base salary of $240,000–$250,000  
• 40% annual performance bonus  
• Equity participation  
• Executive leadership opportunity within a rapidly growing, private equity-backed organisation.

​

​
