**Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) (m/f) 100%**

**Primary location:** London (preferred) or Cyprus (relocation options available)

**Reports to:** Group CEO

**Division:** Asset & Wealth Management

**About the Role:**

This is not a traditional COO role. It is the driving force of transformation: blending operational excellence with digital innovation to build the “operations of the future” — automated, data-driven, scalable, and resilient across all jurisdictions.

You will be the architect of high performance, ensuring our Group operates with precision, agility, and technological leadership.

## Tasks

**Key Responsibilities:**

**Strategy Execution & Alignment**

*   Translate Group strategic priorities into actionable operational roadmaps across regions.
*   Drive the execution of CEO and Executive Committee decisions through measurable KPIs.
*   Ensure consistent delivery standards and operational alignment across all jurisdictions.
*   Report progress and key insights to the CEO and the Board.

**Operational Excellence & Scalability**

*   Lead process reengineering across front, middle, and back offices.
*   Implement Lean, Agile, and continuous improvement methodologies.
*   Strengthen cost efficiency, productivity, and operational resilience.

**Digital Transformation & AI Integration**

*   Oversee Group IT, systems, and digital infrastructure.
*   Drive automation (RPA, low-code), data intelligence, and predictive analytics initiatives.
*   Govern data architecture, cybersecurity, and data governance.
*   Measure ROI and ensure adoption of emerging technologies.

**Governance, Compliance & Risk**

*   Oversee implementation of Group-wide policies, frameworks, and operational controls.
*   Ensure regulatory compliance across UK, Cyprus, Switzerland, and UAE.
*   Lead risk management, vendor oversight, and business continuity planning (BCP).

**Leadership & Cultural Transformation**

*   Champion a culture of innovation, agility, and performance.
*   Lead digital change programs and new operating models.
*   Develop key talent, build succession plans, and embed accountability across functions.
*   Foster collaboration between Compliance, Risk, Legal, Technology, Product, and Finance teams.

## Requirements

**Your profile:**

*   15+ years of leadership experience in financial services operations, ideally within Asset & Wealth Management.
*   Proven success in digital transformation, automation, and process optimization.
*   Expertise managing multi-jurisdictional operations under complex regulatory frameworks.
*   Strong command of operational risk, compliance, and governance.
*   Proficiency in Lean, Six Sigma, or Agile methodologies.
*   Strategic, data-driven thinker with outstanding execution discipline.
*   Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.

## Benefits

**What Makes This Role Unique:**

*   **Dual focus:** Lead current operations while transforming the organization for the next decade.
*   **Strategic impact:** Turn Group vision into measurable, sustainable results.
*   **Global integration:** Unite teams and jurisdictions under one coherent operating model.
*   **Leadership legacy:** Build the technological and cultural foundation for Mevelin Group’s future.
