Chief Intelligence Officer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description

Chief Operations Officer (COO)

Operational Leader & Organizational Integrator

Location: Maryland/DC/ Virginia

Reports to: Reina Offutt, Visionary/Owner

RTR Pilates is the standard of excellence in contemporary reformer Pilates, serving as the premier boutique studio in the Maryland, DC and Virginia area. Rooted in the belief that positivity thrives through meaningful connections, we foster an environment where wellness meets community. Our studio is dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their fitness goals while building lasting relationships and spreading joy along the way. RTR Pilates is a place to thrive, and we are looking for an exceptional leader to help us scale our footprint. 

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is a strategic operational leader responsible for executing our long-term growth strategy. The COO is responsible for maximizing profitability, scaling company performance, and building an environment that delivers a market-leading customer experience. This is a rare, exciting opportunity to take a 20-year legacy brand and aggressively multiply its footprint.

Operating as the "Integrator" within our Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), the COO serves as the single point of accountability for RTR's leadership team. This leader creates clarity, communication, consistency, and accountability across all studio locations; harmonizes the leadership team; removes barriers to execution; and turns big-picture vision into operating reality.

The CEO/Visionary & COO/Integrator Partnership

The CEO (Visionary) and the COO (Integrator) operate as a highly collaborative, complementary pair. The CEO owns the long-term vision, brand identity, major relationships, and creative expansion concepts. The COO works collaboratively with the CEO to co-develop long-term strategic plans and takes full ownership of execution, leadership team management, and day-to-day operations. Success in this seat depends on a healthy, trust-based partnership, including disciplined, private alignment sessions to ensure the leadership team always receives unified direction.
