Understanding COOs
The Chief Operating Officer is responsible for overseeing a company’s internal functions. Their role centers on aligning daily operations with broader business goals. A strong COO brings structure to the organization by managing teams, refining systems, and driving consistency across departments.
One of the COO’s primary tasks is translating the CEO’s vision into clear, actionable plans. This requires both strategic thinking and practical execution. COOs manage budgets, supervise department heads, and monitor performance metrics. They also play a key role in resource allocation, vendor relationships, and operational risk management.
When selecting a COO, look for someone with a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and solve complex challenges under pressure. They must be decisive, organized, and highly adaptable. A successful COO is comfortable navigating both the big picture and the small details.
The role also demands a collaborative mindset. COOs work closely with the CEO and other senior leaders, including CFOs, CTOs, CIOs, and CMOs. Together, this executive team shapes the direction of the company. To thrive in this environment, a COO must bring clarity, consistency, and strong communication to every interaction.

Jennifer recently helped me find a job placement that is suitable for my experience, skill set, and needs and she has not only been a pleasure to work with, but she has been incredibly helpful. Throughout the experience Jennifer has been profesional, friendly, attentive, kind, an excellent communicator, and vigilant about follow-ups. I was presented with several position openings that fit within the framework I was looking for and in the end I was matched with a position that I am delighted with. Jennifer was wonderful at setting up and scheduling interviews as well as negotiating terms between the parties.
This has been my first experience working with The Calendar Group but I will definitely keep them in mind in the future, down the road, when I look for my next role. If anyone is wondering, I would definitely recommend this company, and I can 100% recommend working with Jennifer in particular.
Jennifer was amazing to work with. She totally got my personality as well as my experience and encouraged me think outside the box and interview for a role I may otherwise have over looked! Steven coming from a legal back ground was great at helping me with my contract and giving me good solid advice based on my career and needs not just pushing me into a role just to get a commission.
The Calendar Group has been around for quite some time and with all the new agencies popping up I can see where it might get over looked which is a huge mistake! They have the experience needed to match talent based on the candidates whole person not just the resume. Def worth exploring their job board and reaching out even if it’s not quite what you are looking for, like me you might get pleasantly surprised.
In 2021 Flavia and the calendar group helped me finds a really nice family that I’ve been happy to provide my services as a personal Chef and House Manager.
As the job has limited hours, I reached out once more to Flavia and the Calendar group once more to help fill those lost hrs, and they were great again in finding me another amazing family I’m happy with. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a position or for someone to fill a position. Ms. Vitra
I wholeheartedly recommend The Calendar Group for all corporate & domestic staffing needs. They have done incredible work for multiple clients with whom I work and have placed exceptional people in each of these searches. Steven & Natalie are an absolute pleasure with whom to work — responsive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the industry. I give The Calendar Group a well-deserved 5 stars!
