5 Workstream Ceo Jobs Hiring Near You

Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.
Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.
Grow With Us
We are looking for a world-class Chief Operating Officer (COO) to serve as the primary strategic and operational partner to our CEO, helping scale Workstream from a high-growth Series B company into a category-defining global enterprise.
In this role, you will oversee and unify the company's core business operations-bridging the gap between strategy, product, go-to-market (GTM), and corporate functions. You will ensure Workstream scales efficiently while maintaining speed, quality, and a high-performance culture.
This is a high-impact executive leadership role for an exceptional operator who thrives on complexity, drives organizational accountability, and translates visionary goals into repeatable, company-wide business performance. You will work closely with the CEO, Executive Team, Board of Directors, and investors to align global strategy with flawless execution.
The ideal candidate is a visionary builder and a disciplined executioner-equally comfortable setting corporate direction, driving executive alignment, and stepping into day-to-day operations to clear roadblocks.
Why This Role Is Different
This is not a traditional, back-office administrative role. At Workstream, the COO will act as the company's chief execution architect-owning the organizational design, cross-functional synergy, and governance needed to transform high-level strategy into market-defining execution.
As a vital force multiplier for the CEO, you will focus on scaling not just our market footprint, but the executive leadership team and organizational machine behind it.
The ideal candidate is an elite enterprise operator who combines high-velocity startup agility with world-class operational discipline-a leader who can build resilient systems, accelerate corporate growth, and help shape Workstream as the definitive platform powering the global hourly workforce.

• People & Culture Leadership: Mentor, scale, and inspire a world-class operational team while fostering a culture of high ownership, accountability, and psychological safety.
