Chief Operating Officer
Rhodes Wolfe
Chief Operating Officer
Our client, a privately held medical diagnostics company, is entering an exciting new chapter and looking for a Chief Operating Officer to take the reins of the business. With a small, close-knit team, a strong customer base, and an expanding product pipeline, the founder is preparing to step back from the day-to-day operation of the business.
This is a hands-on leadership role for an entrepreneurial leader who can move comfortably between strategy and execution - leading people, managing projects, understanding the numbers, maintaining regulatory standards, and driving growth. This is a phenomenal opportunity to step into a key leadership role with meaningful responsibility and autonomy in running an established, profitable company while helping shape its next chapter.

• Develop and execute business strategies that support growth and long-term objectives
• Lead, develop, and hold a small team accountable to clear goals, priorities, and deadlines
• Maintain a culture of accountability through regular communication, follow-up, and a hands-on management style
• Manage projects, priorities, resources, and timelines to ensure successful execution
• Oversee operations, manufacturing, quality, product development, and administrative functions
• Ensure compliance with FDA requirements and maintain strong quality systems
• Monitor financial performance, budgets, expenses, and cash flow in partnership with outside CPA and accounting resources
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, profitability, and organizational performance
• Scientific background required
• Experience managing a small company, a division, or a business unit required
• Working knowledge of quality systems and FDA regulatory requirements required
• Demonstrated ability to lead, motivate, and hold employees accountable required
• Proven project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive projects to completion required
