### Role Overview

At Via Logic, we believe strong operations make meaningful work possible. As a growing small business supporting federal and commercial clients, our operating needs span people and talent, finance, contracts, compliance, security, delivery operations, partnerships, and internal systems. We're looking for a seasoned fractional Chief Operating Officer to serve as a high-level strategic advisor to Via Logic's principal and founders. This individual will provide executive guidance on organizational growth, mergers and acquisitions, strategic positioning, operational maturity, and long-term business planning. The role will work closely with leadership to assess opportunities, identify risks, advise on structure and sequencing, and help prepare the company for potential transactions, partnerships, expansion, or other significant growth initiatives. This is primarily an executive advisory engagement, with limited hands-on support for selected strategic and operational priorities based on agreed scope, available hours, and leadership needs.

### Your Mission

In this role, you will provide executive-level guidance across several operating areas, with priorities selected and sequenced based on the company's most significant strategic and operational needs.

#### Business Ops

- Support the founders in organizing, prioritizing, and sequencing strategic and operational workstreams.
- Advise on how open priorities should be structured, assigned, sequenced, monitored, and escalated.
- Recommend operating rhythms, internal workflows, accountability structures, and cross-functional coordination practices.
- Provide high-level review and recommendations related to delivery operations, timekeeping controls, approval workflows, audit readiness, and operational risk.
- Advise leadership on enterprise-level risks and accountability related to facility clearance operations, security compliance, and DCSA obligations.
- Provide limited hands-on support for selected operational projects when specifically agreed upon within the approved scope and available hours.

#### People & Talent

- Advise on organizational structure, hiring strategy, recruiting operations, role definition, leadership capacity, and internal support needs.
- Support planning around performance reviews, compensation cycles, benefits decisions, team lead structures, growth frameworks, succession planning, and workforce readiness.
- Help clarify which responsibilities should sit with People/Talent, leadership, internal operations, outside advisors, or other functional owners.
- Provide limited project-based support for selected People and Talent initiatives when agreed upon within the approved scope.

#### Expanse

- Advise on vendor relationships, consultant support, strategic partnerships, and other external business relationships.
- Help leadership evaluate partnership opportunities, operational dependencies, risks, ownership considerations, and expected business value.
- Recommend processes for tracking and resolving material expense, vendor, consultant, or partnership-related matters.
- Support the creation or refinement of selected trackers, workflows, and ownership paths when those items are prioritized within the engagement.

#### Finance

- Provide executive-level guidance related to financial operations, bookkeeping cadence, reporting structure, profitability, forecasting, and cross-system coordination.
- Support review of financial and accounting matters such as QuickBooks Online structure, Gusto coordination, chart-of-accounts alignment, project-level reporting, invoice tracking, expense processes, and year-end or forward-year planning.
- Advise on financial and operational readiness for growth, investment, acquisition, sale, integration, or other significant business events.
- Help identify gaps related to reporting maturity, internal controls, audit readiness, valuation readiness, and due diligence preparation.
- Clarify which matters should sit with internal operations, bookkeeping support, accounting or tax advisors, legal counsel, or leadership.
- Coordinate with internal team members and external finance, accounting, tax, or legal partners as needed and within the approved scope.

#### Contracts

- Advise on operational tracking and strategic risk related to NDAs, subcontracts, contract actions, GSA MAS updates, SAM.gov requirements, and related compliance activities.
- Help structure registers, trackers, ownership paths, and escalation processes for material contract and compliance matters.
- Provide guidance on how government contracting requirements should be documented, assigned, monitored, and escalated.
- Advise leadership on contractual, regulatory, security, and operational risks that may affect growth, partnerships, transactions, or long-term enterprise value.
- Support transaction-readiness and due diligence planning related to contracts, compliance, security, and organizational risk.
- Provide limited contract or compliance coordination for selected priorities when specifically assigned and agreed upon.

Because this is a limited-hours fractional engagement, priorities and any hands-on support will be reviewed, sequenced, and agreed upon with Via Logic's principal and founders. Additional work beyond the approved monthly hours must be authorized in advance.

### Required Skills & Experience

- 15+ years of executive leadership, corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, transaction advisory, business integration, or equivalent experience.
- Demonstrated experience advising founders, owners, boards, or executive teams through acquisitions, sales, integrations, due diligence, restructuring, or significant growth events.
- Strong ability to translate broad strategic and operational needs into clear priorities, decision points, owners, risks, and recommended actions.
- Experience evaluating and advising across multiple business functions, including People and Talent, finance, contracts, compliance, operations, delivery, internal systems, vendor relationships, and partnerships.
- Strong executive communication, analytical, documentation, and decision-support skills.
- Ability to operate independently in a fractional consulting capacity with limited hours.
- Comfort advising in a fast-moving, founder-led environment where priorities may shift and organizational structure continues to evolve.
- Ability to balance high-level strategic counsel with limited hands-on execution when specific priorities require it.

### Strongly Preferred Skills & Experience

- Prior fractional COO, executive advisory, corporate development, transaction advisory, operations consulting, investment banking, private equity operating, or M&A consulting experience.
- Experience supporting founder-led, privately held, or small-to-mid-sized businesses.
- Experience with transaction readiness, due diligence, valuation support, post-merger integration, restructuring, or exit planning.
- Experience advising government contractors, technology companies, professional services firms, or other highly regulated businesses.
- Familiarity with GSA MAS administration, SAM.gov, federal contract compliance, subcontract and NDA tracking, and related GovCon operations.
- Experience assessing or supporting audit-ready financials, compliant timekeeping, project-level financial reporting, or GovCon finance operations.
- Experience advising organizations that hold or support DCSA facility clearances is preferred.

### Why Partner With Via Logic

- Opportunity to advise a growing, founder-led small business during a meaningful stage of strategic development.
- Direct collaboration with Via Logic's principal and founders.
- Ability to influence significant business, growth, operational, and organizational decisions.
- Mission-driven work supporting federal and commercial programs with real-world impact.
- Flexible, limited-hours fractional engagement with the potential to expand as business needs evolve.

### How We Work

- All Via Logic Explorers (both contractors and employees) are expected to actively engage through Slack, Teams, email, Monday.com, and other collaboration tools during standard business hours.
- Availability for meetings and collaboration between 9AM–5PM EST is expected.
