You will be expected to:

-Run the business on a daily basis.

-Deal with routine staff and client issues independently.
-Monitor operational expenditure against agreed budgets.
-Maintain accurate management records.
-Provide the owner with a clear weekly performance report.
-Escalate major legal, financial and strategic decisions when necessary.
-The owner should not need to tell you what to do every hour.

Because this is a management position, you must be available and responsive throughout your agreed working hours.

IMPORTANT — DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT QUALIFY

There is no training programme to teach someone how to become a CEO or COO.
We will provide information about our company, services, systems and internal procedures, but we will not provide basic management training.

You must already have at least 4 years of relevant senior management experience and be capable of independently running day-to-day business operations.
Do not apply simply because you would like to become a CEO/COO. We are looking for someone who has already successfully performed a comparable role.

Qualifications, employment history and references may be verified.
