Museum of Ice Cream isn't really a museum and it's not really about ice cream either. What we've built is a category-defining experiential entertainment company that reconnects people with joy, nostalgia, and play. In less than a decade, MOIC has grown into a global brand with 13 locations across the U.S. and Singapore, millions of guests, and ambitious expansion ahead. Now we're looking for a Chief Operating Officer who can help scale the business without losing the magic that made it work in the first place.

This is a builder role, not a maintenance role. The COO will serve as the CEO's closest strategic partner translating creative ambition into disciplined execution across operations, people, finance, marketing, production, technology, construction, and guest experience. We need someone who knows how to operate inside a founder-led, fast-growth environment: a leader who can bring structure without bureaucracy, accountability without killing creativity, and systems that actually work in the field. The right person understands both hospitality and scale and knows how to align teams while keeping energy and culture intact.

MOIC has already proven it can become a brand people love. The next chapter is about building the infrastructure, leadership alignment, and operational rigor to support even bigger growth more markets, more guests, and more impact globally. This is a rare opportunity to help shape one of the most distinctive experiential brands of the next decade alongside a founder-led leadership team that still thinks big, moves fast, and believes joy is serious business.

The Chief Operating Officer serves as a strategic partner to the CEO and a connective leader across the enterprise, helping scale Museum of Ice Cream through alignment, organizational execution, and operational excellence. This role is responsible for ensuring the business operates cohesively across all functions, translating company vision into disciplined execution while strengthening the systems, communication, and leadership infrastructure required to support continued growth.

Reporting to the CEO, the COO will work across the full organization, including operations, finance, people, marketing, production, construction, technology, creative, and guest experience, to ensure teams remain aligned around shared priorities, performance expectations, and business objectives. This leader helps connect strategy, people, operations, and execution so the organization can scale effectively while maintaining the creativity, hospitality, and culture that define the Museum of Ice Cream experience.
