Overview

Direct message the job poster from electronRx

At electronRx, we are not just building a deep-tech company; we are building a legacy. Our mission is to redefine what is possible in the world of electronics and human-computer interaction. We operate with the relentless drive and passion that characterises a true pioneering spirit. This is not a 9-to-5 job; it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of a movement that will make a tangible difference to human health and well-being. Our technology has the potential to touch the lives of up to 450 million patients globally, and we are looking for a trusted partner to join me at the helm, someone who can take my vision and turn it into tangible reality.

The Opportunity:

As Chief Operating Officer, you will act as the “First Mate” supporting the company’s “Captain of the Ship.” Your mission is to establish the operational infrastructure that turns our vision into a global reality. This role oversees day-to-day operations and the development of a world-class team, ensuring that the organisation has the foundation needed to pursue long-term growth, international business opportunities, and future capital initiatives.

This is a role with profound purpose. You are not just a manager; you are a builder. Your work is the foundation upon which we will scale into a global force, and it will directly contribute to making a material impact on millions of lives.


The 5 Key Goals for This Role

1. Operational Excellence & Scalability: Build and manage a robust operational framework that ensures the efficient and effective delivery of all business objectives. This includes ensuring our solutions are delivered in an orderly fashion.
2. People & Culture Leadership: Cultivate a self-sustaining, self-populating culture of excellence, ownership, and integrity, where every team member is empowered to take initiative. You will lead our team of 20 to achieve their full potential.
3. Strategic Recruitment & Specialisation: Take full ownership of talent acquisition, recruiting, and building highly specialised teams in critical areas such as intellectual property creation and management, clinical trials development, and external partnerships.
4. Commercialisation & Revenue Generation: Translate our technological innovation into a commercial powerhouse by building and leading all sales and marketing activities, which are currently highly under-resourced. You will drive the company's ability to generate revenue.
5. CEO Partnership: Serve as my strategic partner in execution, managing day-to-day operations and team performance to free me to focus on long-term vision, fundraising, and international business development.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

Success in this role will be measured by a clear set of metrics tied directly to our strategic objectives:

* Operational & Project Efficiency: On-Time Project Delivery Rate and Operational Cost Per Employee.
* Talent Acquisition & Retention: Voluntary Employee Turnover Rate and Time-to-Fill for Critical Leadership Roles.
* Commercial Growth: Quarter-over-Quarter Revenue Growth, Sales Pipeline Value, and Lead-to-Customer Conversion Rate.
* Strategic Impact: The successful establishment of core specialised functions and the CEO’s ability to allocate time towards external, strategic initiatives.


What You'll Be Accountable For

* Operational Management: Oversee all daily business operations, from R&D and product delivery to internal processes and resource allocation.
* Team Leadership: Act as a central leader, providing guidance, mentorship, and motivation. You will own the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to performance management and career development.
* Commercial Strategy: Design and implement a comprehensive sales and marketing strategy to generate sustainable revenue streams.
* Specialised Functions: Lead the creation and execution of specialised functions, including the development of our intellectual property strategy and the management of clinical trials.
* Partnership Management: Identify, build, and nurture external partnerships that are critical for our business development and long-term success.
* Financial Discipline: Work with the CEO to manage budgets, control costs, and ensure efficient use of capital.


What We're Looking For

This role is for an entrepreneurial leader with a proven track record of scaling deep-tech or highly specialised companies. You are not a manager; you are a builder. You are driven by impact, not a job title, and you have a relentless desire to execute with precision.

* Proven experience in a senior operational role within a deep-tech, Med-tech, electronics, or similar technical company.
* A track record of building and leading high-performing teams, with an emphasis on creating a strong, self-sustaining culture.
* Hands-on experience in building commercial functions from the ground up, with a clear understanding of sales, marketing, and revenue generation.
* A strategic mindset, with the ability to translate a grand vision into actionable, step-by-step plans.
* Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, capable of inspiring confidence and clarity across all levels of the organisation.
