About Opportunity:

ABCO Facility Maintenance, a long-established and trusted service provider, is entering a pivotal phase of growth. We are launching a new business vertical and seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to build and lead this initiative from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity for a true builder, someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to complexity, and is energized by turning vision into a scalable, high-performing business within an established organization.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Partner closely with executive leadership to define, refine, and scale the strategic vision for a new business vertical
  • Serve as a clear, objective operator—prioritizing initiatives that drive traction, revenue, and long-term value
  • Design and execute a go-to-market strategy, translating ideas into measurable business outcomes
  • Build and implement operational infrastructure, including processes, systems, and KPIs
  • Lead from the front in early-stage execution—balancing strategy with hands-on problem-solving
  • Identify risks, inefficiencies, and growth opportunities; take decisive action in a fast-moving environment

Why This Role:

  • Build a business from inception within a stable, established company
  • Directly shape the company’s next major growth engine
  • High visibility and close partnership with executive leadership
  • Full ownership over strategy, operations, and team building from day one
