Expression of Interest | Chief Operating Officer | Southeast Asia
C-Suite Partners is inviting expressions of interest from experienced Chief Operating Officers and senior operations leaders for a confidential leadership opportunity with a leading, investor-backed healthcare services organisation in Southeast Asia.
The organisation’s reputation rests on service reliability: getting it right, on time, every time. The Chief Operating Officer will own the operation that delivers that promise, end to end. That covers collection and logistics through to processing and reporting, across a multi-site network of several hundred staff.
Each part of the operation performs well in its own right. The opportunity for the COO is to bring them together and run the chain as one integrated system, with the authority and accountability to lift performance across the whole, including ownership of the operating cost base and quality.
This is a client-facing role. The COO partners the commercial team on bids and proposals, signs off on the service levels offered to clients, and represents the operation in pitches and service reviews. Reporting to the CEO, the COO will take ownership of operational decision-making so the CEO can focus on growth and strategic partnerships.
For the right person, this is a career-defining step up, with a clear pathway to broader leadership.
Key Responsibilities
This is a confidential search. Further details about the organisation and role will be shared with shortlisted candidates following a confidential discussion and the signing of a non-disclosure agreement. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence.
Please submit your CV for a confidential discussion.
Please note that only candidates who meet the required criteria will be invited to progress. All applicants will be added to our database for future information sharing regarding new opportunities, market intelligence and executive candidate information.
