Cedar Financial Calabasas, CA

About the Role:


Are you a relentless operator who thrives in the crucible of hyper-growth? Do you crave the challenge of building something massive from the ground up? If you bleed innovation and have a laser focus on results, then this COO role at CHI’s CollectCo is for you. We're searching for a rare breed – a strategic visionary with a nose for operational excellence who will be the architect of our journey from a $10 million disruptor to a $100 million industry leader. This is a "hands-on deck, 24/7" leadership position demanding an unwavering commitment to exceeding ambitious growth targets. We need a doer, not a delegator – someone who can lead from the front lines and inspire the team to achieve the seemingly impossible.


The Battlefield:

The debt collection industry is ripe for disruption. Legacy players are slow, inefficient, and often lack transparency. We're here to change that. By leveraging cutting-edge fintech solutions and a data-driven approach, we're building a future where debt collection is faster, fairer, and more effective for both creditors and debtors. Get ready to lead the charge!


Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It…


Dominate the Debt Collection Fintech Landscape:

  •  Partner with the CEO to craft a visionary growth strategy that leverages AI, machine learning, and automation to revolutionize the way debt is collected.
  • Identify and exploit new market opportunities, becoming the go-to solution for creditors seeking a modern, ethical approach to debt recovery.
  • Oversee the development and implementation of industry-leading fintech solutions that streamline collections processes and maximize recovery rates.

Forge the Foundry of Operational Excellence

  • Lead a ruthless efficiency drive, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks across all functions.
  • Implement cutting-edge process automation solutions to streamline operations and free up human capital for higher-value tasks.
  • Develop and oversee robust financial controls, risk management frameworks, and data security protocols to ensure regulatory compliance and protect sensitive consumer information.

 Build a Dream Team of Debt Collection Ninjas:

  • Attract, develop, and retain the brightest minds in debt collection, data science, and software development
  • Foster a culture of relentless learning, innovation, and accountability where every member feels empowered to push boundaries and achieve greatness.
  • Cultivate a results-oriented environment with a laser focus on exceeding performance targets and exceeding client expectations.

Become the Master of Metrics:

  • Establish a comprehensive system of key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress across all functions, from revenue growth and customer acquisition to operational efficiency and debt collection rates.
  • Conduct rigorous data analysis to identify areas for improvement and course-correct strategies as needed.
  • Become a data-driven leader who uses insights to optimize every aspect of the business.

  • You're intimately familiar with industry regulations, compliance requirements, and best practices.
