Chief Operating Officer

Broyhill Asset Management is hiring a Chief Operating Officer in Charlotte, NC.

This role oversees all non‑investment operations, including finance, accounting, compliance, and operating infrastructure, with a clear mandate: build institutional‑quality operations so the investment team can stay focused.

We are seeking an experienced operator with prior investment management experience who thrives in a high‑accountability, owner‑operator environment.

Application details are in the posting below.

Broyhill Asset Management is a Charlotte, NC‑based boutique investment firm. Originally established as a family nearly half a century ago, the firm spun out in 2022 to become an independently owned investment manager. While Broyhill has historically explored a variety of investments for its clients, the firm is now focused on managing its flagship, global, value‑oriented, public equity strategy. With a verified track record of over 10 years, the firm serves a diverse client base – including institutions, advisors, and high‑net‑worth families – by delivering long‑term capital appreciation with a rigorous focus on capital preservation through disciplined, bottom‑up security selection.

JOB DESCRIPTION

This individual will serve as Broyhill’s Chief Operating Officer, overseeing all non‑investment activities of the firm and ensuring that operational, accounting, and compliance responsibilities are completed accurately, on time, and documented appropriately.

This is a true owner‑operator role. Your mandate is to run the business and operations so the investment team can focus solely on the portfolio. That means taking full ownership of the operating details, building structure and discipline into how work gets done, and making high‑quality decisions with minimal involvement from the CIO.

This role is based in Charlotte, NC, and will be deeply embedded in the office on a day‑to‑day basis.

To apply or request additional information, please email . Include a brief explanation of your background, your interest, and why you would be a good fit for Broyhill. Do not just send a resume. We want something personal and representative of your thinking and communication style.

• Demonstrated ability to build and upgrade institutional processes, controls, and reporting in a small, high‑accountability environment.

• Strong competency in financial reporting, budgeting, and operational workflows, with the ability to review work for precision and catch issues before they leave the building.

• Protect the investment team, ensuring the majority of their time is spent driving returns by proactively removing operational burdens rather than leaning on them for support.

• Build and maintain a documented operating system: calendars, checklists, standard operating procedures, and internal controls, with clear ownership across the firm.

• Reconcile issues in a timely and efficient manner, managing all service providers with urgency and professionalism (no lingering open loops, no “waiting on them” as a permanent state).
