About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Operating Officer to spearhead the day-to-day operations of a rapidly expanding platform dedicated to the acquisition and integration of local and regional pizzeria brands. The successful candidate will be tasked with building operational consistency, professionalizing systems, and driving performance across a diverse portfolio of legacy businesses. This pivotal role involves overseeing operations, leading post-acquisition integration, developing scalable operating systems, and partnering with finance to enhance unit-level economics. The COO will also be responsible for establishing a strong field leadership structure, setting clear performance metrics, and driving cultural alignment across the portfolio.

Applicants for the COO position at the company should have a background in senior operations leadership within multi-unit pizza or restaurant brands, with a proven track record of integrating acquired businesses and standardizing operations at scale. A strong understanding of restaurant P&Ls, labor models, and food cost management is essential, and experience working with private equity or institutional investors is preferred. The role requires the ability to lead through change, earn the trust of founder operators and long-tenured teams, and a hands-on leadership style with a focus on execution and accountability. Success in this role will be measured by the smooth integration of acquired businesses, improved performance across the portfolio, and the development of a strong operational team capable of supporting continued growth.
