Job description

Exceptional Opportunities

C.J. Stafford & Associates, leaders in international executive search for the mining, minerals and metals industries, is pleased to accept applications on behalf of our client for the following key position:

Our client, a Toronto-based mining company, is fully financed and permitted to begin development of its high-potential gold projects in Latin America. As Chief Operating Officer, you will play a critical leadership role—starting with the Oxide resource and advancing towards the development of the significantly larger Sulphide deposit.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the engineering, construction, and operational ramp-up of the Oxide resource project.
  • Oversee development strategies for the Sulphide deposit, ensuring long-term planning is integrated from the outset.
  • Mitigate risks and manage challenges common to mining operations in Latin America.
  • Provide technical and financial leadership, ensuring optimal project execution and ROI.
  • Support the CEO with investor and stakeholder relations, including presentations and conference appearances as needed.
  • Foster a high-performance culture aligned with safety, sustainability, and community engagement.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Seasoned mining engineer with at least 15+ years of progressive experience in gold mining operations.
  • Proven track record in mine construction, commissioning, and optimization in Latin America.
  • Fluent in Spanish (spoken and written) with strong cross-cultural communication skills.
  • Deep understanding of mine development risks, financial structuring, and permitting.
  • Demonstrated ability to bring added value at the executive level—strategic, operational, and financial.
  • Collaborative leader with a strong business acumen and stakeholder management experience.

What’s on Offer

  • An exceptional opportunity to lead a world-class gold project through to production.
  • A dynamic leadership role with direct influence on corporate strategy and growth.
  • Attractive base salary, stock options, and performance-based incentives.

This is an exceptional career opportunity to lead a highly qualified team of project professionals across multiple jurisdictions while achieving cost effective and timely delivery of large and complex projects. An exceptional compensation package is offered for this role where fluency in English and Spanish is required.
