Hampton, Virginia, United States Threat Tec Full time
Threat Tec, LLC, a rapidly growing Veteran-Owned Business, is the leader of Operational Environment (OE) replication and Threat Emulation/Wargaming solutions. Threat Tec brings innovative thinking and extensive experience to complex challenges for public and private sector customers. We work alongside our nation's defenders, developing solutions that drive success and protect our future. Join a team that is embodied by an unwavering commitment to professionalism, honesty, and innovation.
Overview Threat Tec is seeking a mission-driven, operations-focused Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead the day-to-day execution of a fast-scaling defense contractor. This is a pivotal integrator role, enabling the CEO to fully function as Visionary while the COO leads the internal execution of our operating system, drives performance, enforces accountability, and champions culture and values. This role is designed for a battle-tested operator with strong Department of Defense experience, a builder's mindset, and the ability to drive excellence across complex service and product lines. You will lead our operations, program delivery, internal systems, and support teams through the next phase of growth. What you will bring
  • Proven Leadership: You have successfully led high-performing teams through significant scaling phases. You are a decisive leader with sound judgment, operational rigor, and the ability to inspire.
  • Defense Domain Expertise: Deep familiarity with DoD contracting, program delivery, and client expectations is essential. You understand how to operate inside federal systems and deliver excellence on time and under budget.
  • Operational Discipline: You run a tight ship. From execution and process optimization to KPI tracking and P&L management — you take complexity and make it predictable.
  • Technology Fluency: Comfortable navigating technical teams, tools, and platforms. You don't need to code — but you understand how systems work and can ask the right questions.
  • People-Centric Management: Strong EQ, team builder, culture shaper. You hold people accountable without losing heart. You model integrity, trust, and execution.
  • Alignment to Values: You embody Threat Tec's core values:
  • The Customer is our First Priority
  • Innovation Drives Our Future
  • The Best Team Wins
  • We Play to Win
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead Day-to-Day Operations: Own internal execution, drive clarity, remove bottlenecks, and ensure performance across all divisions (Ops, Finance, Security, IT, Engineering, and Contracts).
  • Own the EOS Model: Act as the primary Integrator. Translate Visionary ideas into concrete execution. Run weekly L10s, manage Rocks, and ensure follow-through across leadership.
  • Drive Program Execution & Customer Satisfaction: Ensure programs are delivered flawlessly. Build scalable systems that support execution under pressure.
  • Oversee KPIs & Business Rhythm: Maintain a data-driven operating cadence. Oversee dashboards, metrics, and performance reviews.
  • Scale Leadership & Talent: Mentor key leaders. Ensure succession planning. Protect culture during rapid hiring and growth.
  • Ensure Operational Readiness: Maintain resilience through COOP, ISO, CMMI, and ITAR/DFARS compliance. Protect mission continuity.
  • Bridge Strategy & Execution: Work closely with the CEO, CTO, CGO, and BD to turn vision into action — without distraction.
Ideal Profile
  • 15+ years in operations, including senior executive roles in defense, federal services, or GovCon tech.
  • Deep experience with DoD, ARMY Futures Command, TRADOC, SOF, or similar federal customers.
  • Familiar with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and CMMI frameworks.
  • Strong grounding in EOS or a similar operational framework.
  • High D/I personality preferred (but grounded in execution, not ego).
  • Trusted leader. Unshakeable under pressure. Builder, not babysitter.
  • TS Clearance with SCI eligibility required.
Compensation
  • Competitive Base Salary
  • Executive Performance Bonus
  • Company Equity Participation (for the right long-term player)
  • Full Benefits Package
  • On-site leadership role with impact
