Chief Operating Officer

Cloudscaler is seeking a Chief Operating Officer to lead the operational heartbeat of the company, driving growth and scaling while maintaining culture. This is a hybrid role with up to 3 days per week onsite in London. The salary is up to £150,000 + Equity. The company is at an inflection point, doubling in size in the next 12 months and growing beyond that. The COO will lead the operational leadership team, own the P&L, represent operations at Board level, and translate ambition into execution.

Requirements

• Operationally exceptional – You build systems that outlast your involvement. Processes don't depend on you; they work because you designed them well.
• Commercially sharp – You understand exactly how operational decisions affect margin and growth, and you make the connection instinctively.
• A strong leader of leaders – Your direct reports perform better for having you above them. You build capability, not dependency.
• Data-driven – You make decisions with evidence, and you build the infrastructure to surface it. Gut feel is a starting point, not a conclusion.
• Calm under pressure – The faster it moves, the clearer you get. Ambiguity doesn't unsettle you; it focuses you.
• Emotionally intelligent – You hold people to high standards without losing them. You have the difficult conversations early, and well.
