The Role :

At NuWave, the Chief Operating Officer turns vision into velocity. You'll lead cross-functional execution across Sales, Design, Operations, HR, and Finance, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in sync.

Ensure functional leads are aligned, accountable, and supported in their execution

Coach and develop team leads to increase their leadership capacity

Oversee HR-related responsibilities including onboarding, role clarity, performance expectations, and basic compliance.

Ensure appropriate handling of time-off approvals, basic employee relations issues, and administrative consistency across departments

Partner with the CEO to maintain cultural alignment and address staffing needs

Maintain and improve lightweight HR systems (e.g., onboarding checklist, review cycles, role definitions) that support a growing team.

Performance Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Track and report on KPIs for operations, delivery, and internal performance

Build and maintain lightweight dashboards to monitor business performance and support informed decision-making.

Analyze data across departments to identify trends, inefficiencies, or improvement opportunities

Provide regular insights to the CEO and functional leads to support better planning and execution

Drive a culture of continuous improvement and learning

Recommend and implement changes that increase throughput, quality, and efficiency

What does success look like in the first year?

Establish a cross-functional operating cadence with structured weekly updates

Lead the on-time delivery of at least 4 major client systems with cross-departmental coordination

Document and implement project tracking and handoff processes

Reduce rework by 30% through improved planning, sequencing, and coordination

Support and coach functional leads, resulting in improved leadership ownership and less reliance on the CEO for daily direction

Achieve operational readiness for scale (systems, processes, and team alignment)

Build and maintain a lightweight dashboard / reporting system to monitor business performance and support informed decision-making

Coach and empower leads to take ownership of their areas, resulting in faster decision-making and less operational involvement from senior management

Qualifications :

Bachelor’s degree or technologists diploma in Engineering preferred

Experience in operations or general management roles within a technical or custom solutions business

Proven success leading cross-functional teams and coordinating complex project delivery

Experience coordinating Sales, Design, Production, and Finance functions collaboratively
