Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We are looking for a COO to help us deliver on our 38% average Month-over-Month Revenue Growth


Are you experienced in operations and growth? And do you want to play a key role on an extremely ambitious international growth journey in a venture-backed direct-to-consumer skincare scale-up?


Take part in scaling the world’s best skincare products through customisation

As COO you will be a key member of our management team. With direct reference to our CEO, you will collaborate to set the overall vision and strategy for Nøie and have the responsibility for the efficiency of the business. The goal of the COO is to secure the functionality of the business to drive extensive and sustainable growth.

You are offered the opportunity to play a key role on an extremely ambitious growth journey together with a dedicated A-level team of highly skilled colleagues. Nøie is based at the co-working space Matrikel 1 in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. We value fun and freedom, expertise, dedication and teamwork, and we invest in each other.

A few of the key responsibilities:

  • Responsible for all day-to-day operations and administration of a business

  • Design and implement business strategies, plans and procedures

  • Oversee and secure third-party business operations (including purchasing, supply chain, production, fulfilment, distribution, VAT and customs)

  • In addition, our skincare R&D, SCM and Community Care will report directly to you

  • Set comprehensive goals for performance and growth and evaluate performance by analysing and interpreting data and metrics

  • Establish policies that promote company culture and vision

  • Participate in expansion activities (investments, corporate alliances etc.)

  • Lead supplier negotiations to secure our gross margins and profitability 

  • Manage relationships with partners and vendors

 

An experienced operations leader with a proven track record from a consumer scale-up with at least €15+ million in yearly revenue

We are looking for an experienced COO to oversee and develop our organisation’s ongoing operations and procedures under rapid international growth, and who is used to an agile development framework and is comfortable in formulating international operations strategies, budgets and forecasts.

Furthermore, we are looking for a great leader (people and business) with an analytical mindset and the ability to understand and balance driving healthy operations under high growth and rapid development. And last but not least, a person who possesses high-level communication skills (internal and external) and aptitude in decision-making and problem-solving.

Experience with fast growth is a must and an understanding of the dynamics of a direct-2-consumer or e-commerce startup is an advantage.

 

Nøie is science. Nøie is a community. And Nøie is you. 

At Nøie rather than mass-producing skincare products, we work with the customer to create the very best solution for their unique skin. We do this by combining the credibility of science with the experiences of the community — all in order to meet their individual needs. In fact, we take the matter so seriously that we write their name on the packaging.

Our vision is to increase the quality of life for people with skin concerns and to create a new honesty about a taboo issue. Our goal is simply to reinvent skincare by creating the best skincare products in the world for each and everyone.

That’s what we call customised skincare. Read more about Nøie and try our skin test at https://noie.com.

And by the way, we are not just driven by double-digit growth and international scaling, we are also committed to becoming actively sustainable. Over the short-term, our goal is to remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than we emit. Over the long-term, we aim to be 100 percent circular in everything we do.
