Full job description

Our client, SeeByte, is the global market leader in the development of smart software for uncrewed maritime systems. We are advising the business on the appointment of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to join its executive leadership team, based in Edinburgh.

Originally spun out of Heriot-Watt University, SeeByte develops advanced autonomy and mission‑planning software for maritime and underwater robotics, supporting complex operations across defence, energy, and research.

About the Role

With over 100 employees across Edinburgh and Bristol, SeeByte continues to scale. The Chief Operating Officer exists to ensure the organisation runs efficiently, reliably, and with discipline.

Through strong operational leadership and high-quality insight, the COO provides stability and clarity as the organisation grows and changes. The role is central to ensuring that strategic decisions are executable in practice and that leaders have the information they need to act decisively and with confidence.

This is a senior operational leadership role suited to someone with experience driving execution in complex, high‑performing technology or engineering‑led organisations.
