Chief Operating Officer in Littleton, Colorado at Spyder Management

Spyder Construction is a commercial and multifamily general contractor specializing in complex construction challenges including insurance restoration, structural repairs, capital improvements, roofing, and environmental services. We operate across multiple states, with additional offices and markets ahead, and we run within a structured business operating system (EOS). We have built a disciplined, accountable organization and we are scaling it fast. We are looking for a COO who will serve as the operational anchor of the business and bring the analytical rigor, systems thinking, and precision required to run a complex, multi-state operation at a high level.

A systems-builder's role. Full operational authority, a disciplined operating framework already in place, and a company scaling fast enough to demand the best version of your thinking.

WHAT YOU WILL BUILD

Operating cadence: Own the leadership team rhythm -- meeting cadence, goal accountability, performance scorecards, and issue resolution from identification to close.

Execution architecture: Translate the CEO's strategic priorities into operational plans with clear ownership, measurable outcomes, and timelines that hold.

Process infrastructure: Identify gaps in workflow, process, and org structure. Build systems that perform under pressure and improve over time, not workarounds that decay.

Financial visibility: Maintain a precise view of operational and financial performance. Partner with finance on accurate reporting and disciplined cost management.

Leadership development: Develop direct reports through structured feedback and clear expectations. Accountability through competence, not proximity.

THE PROFILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You do not accept a conclusion until you have asked the next question. You build things that hold up, and you find broken systems more interesting than comfortable ones.

• 10+ years of progressive leadership with at least 5 years running operations across multiple departments
• Track record in a structured, accountable environment: EOS, or a comparable operating framework you can demonstrate
• Background in construction, restoration, or commercial field-based services preferred
• Strong financial acumen with direct P&L ownership and data-driven performance management
• Experience scaling through dramatic growth: revenue and complexity both multiplied, and your systems kept pace
• Comfortable standing up new markets, offices, and teams as geographic footprint expands
• M&A experience as both acquirer and acquired; you understand the operational and cultural work that makes integrations succeed

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Real authority: Full operational ownership across departments. Not a coordinator. Not a liaison. The operating anchor.

Direct access: You will work directly with the CEO. The Visionary/Integrator model is how this company is designed to run.

Infrastructure mandate: You are not inheriting a finished machine. You are building the systems that do not yet exist.

Substantive problems: Multi-state complexity, rapid expansion, and M&A integration work. The difficulty is the point.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

$280,000 - $300,000 annually, depending on experience

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Optional accident and critical illness insurance
• Employee assistance program
