Chief Operating Officer The Opportunity An established and growing asset management business is seeking an exceptional Chief Operating Officer (Designate) to join its executive leadership team as part of a planned succession strategy. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious commercial leader to step into a genuine executive succession role, working alongside the Founder and Board before assuming full responsibility for the strategic and operational leadership of the business.

With significant growth ambitions and strong commercial momentum, the business is now looking for a proven leader to drive the next phase of expansion.

This role is ideally suited to someone who began their career in sales, progressed into sales leadership, and has evolved into a commercially focused senior executive.
