Ready to lead the operational heartbeat of a fast-scaling SaaS company?
We’re excited to be exclusively partnering with a high-growth, investor-backed SaaS business in the East Midlands. Already delivering strong results, they’re gearing up for the next stage of scale — and looking for a strategic, hands-on, people-centric Chief Operating Officer to join the Board and help lead the charge.

Balance speed and scalability with exceptional customer care
Champion best-in-class tools, workflows, and metrics across the business
Contribute to cross-functional strategy and decision-making at Board level
About You:
Proven success in SaaS or tech-led environments, ideally scaling CX/Operations
Deep experience in customer support, experience or success
Obsessed with quality, process, and customer satisfaction
Operationally brilliant and emotionally intelligent
Data-driven, yet human-focused
Experience leading remote or distributed teams (a plus)
We particularly welcome applicants with experience scaling SaaS functions in healthcare, education, nonprofit, public sector, or regulated industries.

Strategic Board-level role with huge scope for influence
A key leadership role with the opportunity to shape operations and grow your team — while working closely and transparently with the wider leadership group to ensure alignment and shared success
A collaborative, mission-led company culture
