Chief Operating Officer

• Running alongside Shing - anticipating what he needs, keeping context live, preparing him for meetings (internal and external) and making sure nothing falls through the cracks across a wide portfolio
• Protecting Shing’s focus - You can identify what genuinely needs Shing and what doesn't, and then ensure the latter gets resolved by the right people.
• Building relationships of trust and confidence - You build credibility fast with Shing's direct reports, grounded in a genuine understanding of their functional objectives and the critical outcomes each function is accountable for.
• Supporting execution on key initiatives - unblocking and driving priority initiatives - stepping in to help, but also enabling accountability and ownership where it makes sense.
• Connecting the dots across functions - spotting where teams are misaligned, where information isn't flowing, and where someone needs to be nudged.
• Supporting rhythm and operating cadence - helping structure how the COO function runs, including scheduling, meeting prep, and follow-through.
• Communicating on behalf of the COO - drafting communications, distilling complex information, and representing Shing's thinking clearly and accurately.
• Flagging what needs flagging - you'll be close enough to the business to see problems early.
• Build capability, not dependency - Success is fewer things routing through you and more things working without you.
