Fractional COO and Head of Operations in Bangladesh

A fractional COO is a senior operations executive who works part-time or on a fixed engagement to run and improve a company’s operations. They set up processes, manage teams and vendors, control costs and report to the CEO or head office.

The work is largely the same. Head of operations is the title many companies in Bangladesh use locally, while fractional COO describes senior operations leadership provided part-time. We can work under whichever title fits your structure.

Days are agreed in the contract to match the workload and are reviewed each quarter. More days are usually needed during set-up or a major project, and fewer once routines are running.

A Dhaka-based project manager runs your project from start to finish: scope, schedule, budget, vendors, permits and stakeholders. You receive a weekly status report covering progress, budget, risks and decisions needed.

Yes. The project manager can work under a service agreement with your head office, and vendor contracts can be signed by your head office or your Bangladesh entity once it exists. If you need staff on a local payroll, we can employ them through our employer of record service.

A part-time country head represents your company externally and leads the country as a whole. A fractional COO focuses on internal operations: processes, people, vendors, costs and project delivery. Some companies need one role, some need both.

Weekly status reports for active projects, a monthly operations dashboard with agreed KPIs, and a quarterly review of scope, results and priorities.

Fractional COO work is usually charged as a monthly retainer based on days and seniority. Local project management can be priced per project or per month. We send a written quote after a short scoping call.

When operations are large and stable enough to need daily senior leadership on site, or when the role carries board-level duties. A fractional COO can help recruit and hand over to a full-time successor.
