Description

Half technician, half storyteller: that's the COO VentureLab is searching for, and Attention Management is where the story starts. For someone with 15 years and an impact-driven edge, this COO job offers $282,000 - $575,000 and real upward mobility.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify gaps in current procedures and recommend workable fixes
  • Keep Vancouver, WA stakeholders briefed without burying them in updates
  • Steer VentureLab's Process Improvement roadmap with both nerve and humility
  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
  • Contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce waste
  • Keep the VentureLab backlog ruthlessly honest about what's truly next

What You'll Bring

  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a c-level capacity
  • 16+ years navigating the politics that general work attracts
  • 17+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • A WA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • Around 15+ years of hands-on experience in a general role
  • At least 16 years of standing behind your own estimates

Here at VentureLab, we combine endlessly-iterating engineering with a relentless focus on the customers we serve in Vancouver, WA. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Critical Thinking and Strategic Planning, not bureaucracy.

Pair your Strategic Planning with our $282,000 - $575,000, our mentors, our benefits, and our flexible Vancouver, WA culture, and the math works in your favor.

Stamped current this morning, the freelance opportunity awaits your application.

We'd rather hear from you sooner than later, so don't sit on this COO opening.
