COO

Let's describe you/r position first, and the job later...

We are looking for a smart and experienced individual to lead our team of 30 young, bright and international professionals and manage 4 offices (BB, BA, Vienna, China).

This is to become No2 of the company and take over previous COO (big shoes to fill).

Your values come first - you are committed sparring partner, with proven loyalty, support and dedicated engagement, respectful to others and generous of spirit, seeing others before yourself, kind and just.

Your ambitions come before skills - you can see big picture, you can think big, you compare with the best, you are passionate about goals, you are far away from good, average or somehow (ideally, you identify with conclusions of Good to Great).

Your skills carry following features - you are intrapreneur, mobilizer, intelligent, prudent, rigorous, observant, cool headed, ethical, open, respectful, precise, analytical, tactical, inspirational, keeping promises.

Ideally, you have been COO previously, however, it is not a condition for this position. Your skills and previous experience matter more to us and should include:

• general knowledge about international business developments
• strategic planning
• people's and project management
• judgement and decision making
• critical thinking, problem solving
• risk and crisis management
• monitoring and performance assessment
• coordinations
• simplifications
• persuasion and negotiation
• management of financial resources
• system development and evaluation.

Next lines are describing you - an ideal candidate - in core areas (and within our spirit):

Team leading - you can lead and inspire, but not through a cheap handbook motivation - you have a true charisma.

Management - you get things done, efficiently, but as a one team. You manage a team as an "older brother", not as a "big brother". No top management attitude. Top management qualities and people person attitude which is married to your personality.

Finances - you have experiences with corporate finances (ideally international). You have good judgement, analytical thinking and experiences in planning, reporting. Your numbers do add up.

Business acumen and balance - you are familiar with different views and dynamics between CEO, COO, Management, Project Managers, Administration, and how to handle it with respect but success (ideally, you have read E-Myth Revisited).
