About Triloke
Triloke is an integrated creative and marketing company working across 3 verticals - Studio, Live and Gifting.
We are at an exciting stage of growth, and we’re looking for a COO / Head of Operations to help us build the organisation and operating systems required for our next phase.
About the Role
This is a senior leadership role working directly with the directors.
You will be responsible for making sure Triloke runs efficiently, consistently and accountably as we scale.
We are not looking for someone to simply manage operations. We are looking for someone who can build the operating engine of a growing agency.
You will bring structure to teams, improve processes, strengthen accountability, identify bottlenecks and ensure that projects and people move forward without constant founder intervention.
Key Responsibilities
Business & Operations
Own day-to-day operations across the organisation
Build and implement scalable processes and SOPs
Establish clear ownership, accountability and reporting structures
Identify operational bottlenecks and drive solutions
Build systems for tracking projects, deadlines, resources and deliverables
Establish regular operating reviews and performance rhythms
Ensure cross-functional teams work effectively together
People & Leadership
Manage and develop functional leads and managers
Set clear performance expectations and accountability mechanisms
Identify capability gaps and hiring requirements
Build a high-performance culture while maintaining strong team relationships
Address performance issues proactively and effectively
Help build the organisational structure required for Triloke’s growth
Account Management & Client Delivery
Strengthen the Account Management function and client servicing processes
Ensure client requirements are understood, documented and communicated accurately
Improve ownership of client accounts and project delivery
Ensure potential issues are identified and escalated early
Work with Account Management and Creative teams to improve quality and timelines
Help build stronger, more proactive client relationships
Creative, Web, Production & Execution
Improve coordination between strategy, creative, web, production and account teams
Ensure briefs are complete and actionable
Establish transparent workflows from brief to delivery
Improve quality-control processes
Ensure deadlines and commitments are consistently met
Leadership Support
Act as the director’s key operational partner
Convert strategic priorities into clear execution plans
Provide visibility into what is on track, delayed or at risk
Escalate only what genuinely requires intervention
Take ownership of operational problems rather than simply reporting them
What We’re Looking For
Must Have
8–15 years of professional experience
Significant experience in an agency, experiential, events, creative, advertising, marketing or production environment
Experience managing cross-functional teams
Experience managing multiple concurrent clients/projects
Strong understanding of agency workflows and client servicing
Proven experience building or improving processes in a growing organisation
Strong people-management and problem-solving skills
Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
Strong commercial understanding of clients, projects,
budgets and margins The Right Person Will
Take ownership without being asked
Spot problems before they become emergencies
Be comfortable making decisions
Hold people accountable
Be able to have difficult conversations
Bring structure without creating unnecessary bureaucracy
Understand both the creative side and business side of an agency
Stay calm when multiple things are happening simultaneously
Be comfortable working directly with the Founder and senior leadership
Be hands-on — this is not a purely strategic or supervisory role
Who This Role Is NOT For
This role may not be the right fit if your experience has been limited to operating within highly established corporate systems.
We are looking for someone who has experience building, fixing and scaling — not simply maintaining an existing machine.
You don’t necessarily need to have held the title of COO before.
A strong Business Head, Operations Head, Associate Director, Account Director, General Manager or similar senior operator from the agency/events/experiential ecosystem could be a strong fit.
What Success Looks Like
Within the first 6–12 months, we expect this person to help Triloke:
Reduce director dependency on day-to-day operations
Establish clear ownership across teams
Improve project and deadline management
Strengthen Account Management
Improve cross-functional collaboration
Build scalable operating processes
Create greater visibility into business performance
Raise accountability and execution standards
- Build a stronger leadership layer across the organisation
