Head of Client Operations

🚀 Head of Client Operations (Cold Email, Client Success & Startup Operations)

Full-Time | Remote | Flexible U.S. Time Zone Collaboration

🔥 About the Role

We’re hiring a high-ownership Head of Client Operations to lead client delivery, campaign performance, retention, and operational execution inside a fast-growing startup environment.

This is not a traditional project management role.

You will fully own

• ✅ Delivery systems
• ✅ Operational scalability

You’ll work directly with

• the founder
• developers
• outreach teams
• operations

to ensure client campaigns deliver measurable results while the company scales rapidly.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in

• startup chaos
• high-accountability environments
• fast iteration cycles
• imperfect systems that need improvement

If you’ve worked inside a cold email agency, lead generation company, or fast-growing startup and enjoy solving operational and campaign problems directly — this role is a strong fit.
