As our COO, you will be the trusted right hand and internal counterpart to our CEO. As Operating Officer, you will bridge the gap between our visionary goals and daily execution. We are looking for a "player-coach" builder. In a lean team, a purely delegating corporate executive will not succeed. We need an operational leader with executive-level strategic capabilities who thrives on diving directly into execution: personally building systems, managing logistics, setting team cadences, and driving end-to-end delivery.

You will co-own the business plan, sit on the Management Team alongside the CEO and CFO, and serve as the operational backbone of the company.

As the CEO focuses externally on global sales and stakeholder management, you will become the internal end-accountable leader: running day-to-day operations, sourcing, product delivery, and cross-functional execution as the CEO’s counterpart inside Reefy.

What you own

You are the person who makes sure Reefy delivers what it promises: on time, on budget, and ready for what comes next. Own operational backbone, project execution, and client delivery. Build the internal engine for scale and ensure flawless execution of project pipeline (including our projects in the Americas).

Project Implementation & Customer Success

• End-to-End Project Delivery: Take end-accountability for the execution, quality, budget, timeline, and customer satisfaction of our eco-engineering projects.
• International Expansion: Oversee the delivery of our key projects in the Americas, managing local project leads, logistics, suppliers, and contractor relationships.
• Customer Retention: Ensure flawless execution that drives customer satisfaction and repeating project pipelines.
• Manage supplier relationships and purchasing, from quote comparison to contract administration.

The operational backbone

• Systems & Processes: Build and maintain lightweight, scalable systems for invoicing admin, contracts, insurances, legal/IP coordination, and risk management.
• QHSE & Compliance: Lead Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) processes tailored to coastal engineering and site operations.
• Commercial enablement and project deliverability: You will review proposals for budget sufficiency and risk, calibrate margins, and ensure our focus is structured, disciplined, and focused on the right target.

Team and organization management

• Execution & OKRs: Co-create and translate our business plan into actionable Objective & Key Results (OKRs), team capacity organization, and results drives performance.
• Foster a culture of accountability: You will lead weekly planning meetings, ensure the team is aligned on deliverables, and provide the structure needed for a growing, high-performing team.
• Player-Coach Leadership: Direct, mentor, and guide operational responsibilities (e.g. projects and product development). Drive pace, accountability, and execution discipline while preserving team cohesion.
• Resource planning: Implement and manage robust planning tools to track team capacity, billability, and project timelines. You will identify bottlenecks, reallocate resources, and make tough decisions when demands seem to exceed capacity.

A seat in the management team

• Management Team Member: Collaborate closely with the founders and CFO on budget alignment, strategy, and business plan delivery. You co-own the budget, you sit across from investors, and you are co-accountable for the business plan. Not as an observer but as a driving force.
• Investor & Board Relations: Participate in meetings, delivery of reporting obligations, and business intelligence discussions.
