Role: Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO)

At Humiint, we believe execution drives evolution. That’s why we connect fast-growing businesses with world-class operational leaders—on demand, around the globe. From early-stage startups to scaling enterprises, our expert network empowers companies with the structure, strategy, and systems they need to move from chaos to clarity.

We’re actively seeking experienced Fractional COOs to join our executive network. In this role, you’ll serve as a strategic partner to founders and CEOs, helping clients design and optimize operational frameworks that support long-term, scalable growth.

This role is perfect for seasoned operations leaders who thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and are passionate about turning vision into execution.

  • Overseeing operational budgets, resource planning, and vendor management
  • Advising on hiring, org design, and leadership development
  • Providing operational support for fundraising, investor reporting, and strategic planning

Required qualities may include:

  • Strong operational and financial acumen—you thrive in metrics-driven environments
  • Exceptional skills in strategic planning, project execution, and team enablement
  • Comfort working cross-functionally and across multiple business domains
  • Excellent communication and leadership presence—you know how to influence and align stakeholders
