This hands-on role leads the team and providers, coordinates close and filing priorities, and modernizes processes through technology and automation.
You Will
- Own the quarterly and annual worldwide income tax provision: current and deferred computations, effective tax rate reconciliation, deferred tax inventory and valuation allowance assessments, stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and return-to-provision true-ups
- Own the tax journal entries, account reconciliations, income tax footnote and disclosures, and the supporting workpapers and SOX controls; manage the financial statement audit relationship with our Big 4 auditors
- Coordinate the international components of the provision with the team and outside advisors, and drive continuous improvement in close speed and quality

- Own cash tax forecasting and support tax authority notices, examinations, and audit defense
- Drive automation and tax technology adoption across the provision and compliance processes, including AI tooling
- Prepare and review technical memos documenting positions for auditors and leadership, and model the cash tax and effective tax rate consequences of proposed structures for Corp Dev, Finance, and Legal while deals are being negotiated
- Mentor and develop tax team members and help build the function as the company grows
- Manage outside advisors on opinions, studies, and valuations, and own those budgets and relationships
You Have
- 10+ years of corporate income tax experience with deep ASC 740 reporting and U.S. federal and state compliance expertise, including public accounting (Big Four or equivalent) and in-house public company experience.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA required.
- Direct ownership of a public company consolidated provision, including interim reporting, the effective tax rate modeling, and discrete items.
- Experience preparing SEC income tax disclosures and supporting conclusions with external auditors.

- Deep experience with book-to-tax adjustments, return-to-provision analysis, and Section 382 testing and limitation calculations.
- Hands-on income tax SOX experience including control design, operation, documentation, testing support, and remediation.
- A record of managing federal and state examinations, including negotiating with examiners and resolving assessments.
- Experience directing and reviewing provider work across provision and compliance.
- Write clear, well-organized technical memos that hold up with Big 4 auditors, and can explain the same issue in plain terms to non-tax partners
- People leadership across provision and compliance, including developing talent and managing overlapping close and filing priorities.
- A record of implementing process redesign, automation, or AI workflows with measurable improvements in quality, controls, timeliness, or cost.
Even Better

Tips for Your Remote Chief Operating Officer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote chief operating officer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through mixed results.
Prove async leadership in your application materials
Remote employers hiring chief operating officers want evidence you can lead without in-person contact. Highlight written communication, documented decision frameworks, and examples of aligning distributed teams toward measurable outcomes in your resume and cover letter.
Target companies built around distributed operations
Remote-first technology companies and distributed professional services firms are far more likely to keep a chief operating officer remote long-term. Look for organizations whose entire leadership team already works across multiple time zones.
Prepare for async-heavy remote interviews
Many remote-first companies use asynchronous video screens or written case studies before live interviews. Practice articulating complex operational decisions clearly in writing and on camera without back-and-forth clarification, since that mirrors how you would actually work.
Remote Chief Operating Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote chief operating officer job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed organizations that have built their operations around async workflows, since those employers are most likely to trust a chief operating officer they never see in person. Remote hiring managers screen hard for written communication, independent decision-making, and the ability to align cross-functional teams without in-person oversight. Candidates who can show measurable operational results, strong async leadership, and experience managing distributed teams have a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote chief operating officers?
Employers currently hiring remote chief operating officers include Evolve Therapy Services, World Business Lenders, and Otsuka, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology companies, venture-backed startups, and distributed professional services firms tend to hire chief operating officers remotely most consistently.
Can you get a remote chief operating officer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote chief operating officer roles are senior by design, so the bar is high and early-career candidates face real competition. Entry paths include building operational experience as a director of operations or chief of staff at a remote company, then stepping up. Demonstrating async leadership, documented process improvements, and the ability to manage distributed teams independently will matter more than a traditional resume in a remote context.
Do you need a degree for remote chief operating officer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh operational results, leadership experience, and cross-functional management skills more heavily than formal credentials when hiring a chief operating officer. A strong record of scaling teams, building systems, and hitting company-wide targets can outweigh the absence of a degree, particularly at remote-first companies that evaluate candidates on demonstrated performance rather than credentials alone.
Which industries hire the most remote chief operating officers?
Remote chief operating officer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Education, and Sports & Recreation, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to hire chief operating officers remotely because their teams are already distributed across time zones, making location-independent executive leadership a natural fit.
