Job description

Voluminant is a boutique consulting and training firm that's scaling up fast. We help public-and private-sector organizations solve complex challenges with smart, human-centered solutions. From training and multimedia to immersive tech, AI integration, IT modernization, and project leadership — our work is diverse, meaningful, and constantly evolving. We've built a reputation for dependability and excellence with agencies like the U.S. Department of State, and now we're looking to scale that value across new markets. That's where you come in

The Role

We're hiring a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help steer the ship as we grow. You'll be the architect and operator behind the scenes — building structure, driving performance, and helping the CEO turn big vision into real-world execution. From refining systems and processes to guiding strategic hires, managing delivery teams, and helping secure new business, you'll be a key partner in building the next phase of Voluminant.

This role is ideal for someone who's worked in a small-but-mighty company, understands the services landscape (especially in the public sector), and wants to help scale a smart, ambitious, human-first company.

What You'll Do

Oversee day-to-day operations across contracts, teams, and projects

Build and refine internal systems, tools, and SOPs to drive scale and consistency

Manage team performance and delivery — with an eye on quality, margin, and client satisfaction

Partner with the CEO to shape and execute strategic growth plans

Recruit, onboard, and retain top-tier talent in critical functional areas

Support business development and capture activities — pricing, teaming, proposal inputs

Track operational KPIs and surface insights to guide better decisions

Serve as a trusted advisor and occasional operator on high-stakes client work

Help build culture, clarify roles, and foster a performance-minded (but fun) environment

What You Bring

7+ years of leadership experience in consulting, government contracting, or professional services

Proven ability to operationalize vision, lead teams, and build repeatable systems

Experience managing multi-functional teams and service delivery

Strong grasp of P&L, pricing, and margin levers in a growing business

Familiarity with federal, state, or local contracting processes

Comfortable rolling up your sleeves, wearing multiple hats, and making decisions under ambiguity

Excellent communication skills — you speak CEO, client, and team fluently

Leadership style that is steady, candid, collaborative, and solutions-oriented

Bonus Points For

Experience helping a professional services company scale from Past roles involving training, IT, government consulting, or emerging tech

Familiarity with GSA Schedules, 8(a), or small business set-asides

Exposure to proposal development, capture, or strategic pricing

MBA, PMP, or other relevant credentials (nice to have, not a dealbreaker)

Why Join Voluminant

You'll help lead a company with a strong foundation and real momentum

You'll shape systems, teams, and culture — not just manage them

You'll work with a mission-minded founder who values innovation, grit, and people

You'll be part of a team that blends professionalism with personality — we take the work seriously, but not ourselves

How to Apply

Send your resume and a brief note about why this role speaks to you. If you've helped build a services business, led teams through growth, or made order out of chaos — we'd love to talk. the next level, let's talk.
