Overview

Threat Tec is seeking a mission-driven, operations-focused Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead the day-to-day execution of a fast-scaling defense contractor. This is a pivotal integrator role, enabling the CEO to fully function as Visionary while the COO leads the internal execution of our operating system, drives performance, enforces accountability, and champions culture and values. This role is designed for a battle-tested operator with strong Department of Defense experience, a builder’s mindset, and the ability to drive excellence across complex service and product lines. You will lead our operations, program delivery, internal systems, and support teams through the next phase of growth.

Proven Leadership: You have successfully led high-performing teams through significant scaling phases. You are a decisive leader with sound judgment, operational rigor, and the ability to inspire.

Defense Domain Expertise: Deep familiarity with DoD contracting, program delivery, and client expectations is essential. You understand how to operate inside federal systems and deliver excellence on time and under budget.

Operational Discipline: You run a tight ship. From execution and process optimization to KPI tracking and P&L management — you take complexity and make it predictable.

Technology Fluency: Comfortable navigating technical teams, tools, and platforms. You don’t need to code — but you understand how systems work and can ask the right questions.

People-Centric Management: Strong EQ, team builder, culture shaper. You hold people accountable without losing heart. You model integrity, trust, and execution.

Alignment to Values: You embody Threat Tec’s core values:
