Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer

Founding Executive Partner - Chief Operating Officer (COO)

An opportunity to help build an all-female executive leadership company.

About Altevere:

Altevere is building a different model of executive leadership for established small and medium-sized businesses.

We bring together exceptional women with senior executive experience to provide the strategic direction, operational leadership and commercial expertise businesses need as they navigate growth, complexity and transition.

Our vision is to build an all-female executive leadership company with a collaborative core team of accomplished women who share a commitment to helping businesses succeed and creating new opportunities for women in executive leadership.

Altevere is not a directory of independent consultants or a traditional consulting firm. We are building a cohesive company with its own identity, leadership, client relationships and approach to delivering executive-level expertise.

The Opportunity:

We are looking for an exceptional person to join Altevere as a Founding Executive Partner and Chief Operating Officer.

This is an opportunity to help shape and build the company alongside its Founder & CEO.

We are looking for someone who is excited not only by the opportunity to provide executive leadership to clients, but also by the opportunity to build something collectively: an all-female leadership team that is collaborative, commercially minded, supportive of one another and committed to delivering exceptional work.

The right person will see this as more than another fractional executive engagement. She will want to contribute to the development of Altevere, help shape its future and be part of establishing a distinctive female-led executive leadership company.

Your Role and Responsibilities

1. Lead Operational Excellence

• Develop and lead Altevere’s COO Advisory offering.

• Help businesses identify and address operational barriers to growth.

• Lead operational assessments, transformation and implementation initiatives.

• Support organizational design, process improvement and performance management.

• Help clients translate strategic priorities into effective execution.

2. Help Build Altevere

• Work closely with the Founder & CEO to develop the company’s operating model.

• Contribute to the development of Altevere’s services, standards and client experience.

• Help establish consistent approaches to client onboarding, delivery and reporting.

• Contribute ideas, expertise and leadership to the company’s development.

• Help build a collaborative culture across the executive team and its extended specialist network.

3. Collaborate and Develop Business

• Participate in prospective client meetings and business development.

• Identify opportunities where operational leadership can help businesses move forward.

• Work collaboratively with the Founder & CEO and other executives to identify and pursue opportunities.

4. Lead Client Engagements

• Act as the senior operational executive on assigned client mandates.

• Work directly with business owners and senior leadership teams.

• Establish priorities, accountability and implementation plans.

• Ensure that client engagements are practical, collaborative and outcome-oriented.

• Identify opportunities to bring other Altevere executives into client engagements where their expertise adds value.

The Person We Are Looking For:

We are looking for an accomplished female executive who brings:

• Significant experience at COO, CEO, President or equivalent senior leadership level.

• A demonstrated ability to lead people, operations and organizational change.

• Experience working with SMEs, founder-led companies or established private businesses.

• Strong commercial judgment and practical problem-solving capabilities.

• Confidence working directly with business owners and senior executives.

• An entrepreneurial mindset and genuine interest in building a company.

• A collaborative leadership style and a willingness to contribute beyond her individual area of expertise.

Most importantly, we want someone who genuinely believes in the value of women working together in executive leadership.

We are not looking for someone who simply wants another platform to promote an independent consulting practice. We want someone who is interested in being part of a cohesive leadership team, sharing ideas, supporting other executives, developing opportunities together and contributing to a common vision.

The All-Female Leadership Vision

Altevere is intentionally being built as an all-female executive leadership company.

We believe exceptional women should have the opportunity to lead, collaborate and exercise their executive capabilities in ways that reflect their experience and ambitions.

We want to create an environment where women are not simply affiliated with the same company, but actively work together, contribute to one another’s success and represent a unified leadership team to clients.

The founding COO will play an important role in helping establish this culture and shaping the future leadership team.

What We Hope to Build Together

• A respected female-led executive leadership company.

• A collaborative team of accomplished women.

• A consistent and distinctive client experience.

• A company that brings together complementary executive capabilities.

• An environment where women can contribute their expertise, build meaningful professional relationships and lead together.

• A recognizable brand associated with exceptional executive leadership.
