Fractional COO / Business Advisor — Independent Contractor

Fractional COO / Business Advisor — Independent Contractor
Build a Recurring Advisory Portfolio Powered by Brava
Brava is building a new kind of business advisory model.
We combine continuous business intelligence with experienced human Advisors to help leadership understand what is really happening across their company, what deserves attention, and what to do next.
We are looking for experienced operators, Fractional COOs, business consultants, and executive advisors who want to build and manage their own portfolio of Brava clients.
This is not a traditional salaried consulting role.
This is an independent contractor opportunity for professionals who are comfortable developing business relationships, winning clients, advising leadership teams, and building recurring income from the companies they support.
What Is Brava?
Brava reveals the underlying dynamics shaping a business, giving leadership what it needs to know, what needs attention, and what to do next.
Rather than relying only on occasional leadership meetings, surveys, spreadsheets, or management reports, Brava helps continuously surface signals across the organization.
Brava gives Advisors visibility into areas such as:
Leadership and management execution
Company and department priorities
Employee and manager signals
Accountability and follow-through
Daily and weekly business movement
Performance trends
Recurring friction and emerging concerns
Evaluations and organizational patterns
Areas that may require leadership attention
The technology handles much of the monitoring and intelligence.
The Advisor brings judgment, experience, context, accountability, and executive guidance.
The Brava Advisor Role
As a Brava Advisor, you will develop your own portfolio of companies and remain involved as their ongoing business Advisor.
Your role has two major components:
Business Development
You will identify and develop relationships with companies that could benefit from Brava.
This may include:
Your existing professional network
Founder and CEO relationships
Referral partnerships
Local business relationships
Direct outreach
Professional networking
Strategic introductions
Your existing consulting or advisory relationships
We are specifically looking for people who are comfortable creating business opportunities rather than waiting for Brava to provide a calendar of pre-booked sales calls.
Ongoing Business Advisory
Once a company becomes a Brava client, you remain connected to that business through Brava.
You will use the Brava platform to understand what is happening across the organization and help leadership determine where attention and action are needed.
You are not expected to manually monitor every employee interaction or piece of company activity.
Brava does the continuous monitoring and intelligence work.
Your responsibility is to interpret what matters, challenge leadership when necessary, provide context and recommendations, and help ensure important issues do not disappear without action.
What You May Help Leadership With
Depending on the company, this may include:
Identifying recurring execution issues
Understanding where managers may be falling behind
Reviewing company and department patterns
Helping leadership prioritize what deserves attention
Recognizing accountability gaps
Identifying repeated organizational friction
Discussing employee and management signals
Following up on previous leadership actions
Helping executives distinguish isolated incidents from recurring patterns
Providing experienced outside perspective
Helping leadership act on what Brava is revealing
This is not traditional executive coaching limited to conversations with one executive.
The Advisor has broader organizational visibility through Brava.
Who We Are Looking For
Strong candidates may currently or previously have worked as a:
Fractional COO
Chief Operating Officer
VP of Operations
President or General Manager
Business Consultant
Management Consultant
Scaling Consultant
EOS / operating-system consultant
Executive Advisor
Organizational Performance Consultant
Executive Coach with meaningful operating and B2B business-development experience
The exact title matters less than your experience.
We care most about whether you can understand a business, earn the trust of leadership, develop commercial relationships, and help executives act on what matters.
You May Be a Strong Fit If You Have
Experience working directly with founders, CEOs, executives, or business owners
Experience operating, consulting for, or advising established businesses
Strong understanding of management, execution, accountability, and organizational performance
Confidence discussing difficult business issues with leadership
Experience developing your own B2B clients or professional relationships
Comfort with outbound relationship development and networking
Strong written and verbal communication
Good judgment and discretion
The ability to interpret information rather than simply report it
An interest in using technology and AI to increase the scale and quality of your advisory work
Particularly Valuable Experience
We are especially interested in candidates who can answer yes to questions such as:
Have you personally generated B2B consulting or advisory clients?
Have you built your own professional referral network?
Have you advised multiple businesses at the same time?
Have you managed managers or department leaders?
Have you been responsible for business operations?
Have you sold recurring consulting, advisory, or professional services?
Do business owners already come to you for advice?
Who This Role Is Probably Not For
This opportunity may not be a strong fit if you are looking primarily for:
A salaried corporate position
A fixed 40-hour workweek
A company-provided list of appointments to close
A traditional customer-success position
A pure life-coaching role
A role where someone else is responsible for generating all client relationships
Brava Advisors are expected to think and operate like independent business professionals.
Compensation & Portfolio Potential
Brava Advisors earn compensation from the client accounts they personally develop and continue supporting.
Depending on the account and service level, Advisor compensation can range from:
$700–$1,500 per month per recurring account
$1,000 per quarterly collection for applicable accounts
$1,500 for applicable one-time accounts
The opportunity is designed to reward Advisors for building a meaningful portfolio of long-term business relationships rather than simply making introductions.
Example Recurring Portfolio Potential
For Advisors building a portfolio of recurring Premium accounts:
10 active accounts
Approximately $84,000–$180,000 per year in Advisor compensation, depending on the service level of each account.
20 active accounts
Approximately $168,000–$360,000 per year in Advisor compensation, depending on the service level of each account.
These examples assume successful ongoing customer collections and are intended to demonstrate potential portfolio economics, not guaranteed earnings.
Actual compensation depends on the number of accounts developed, account service levels, successful customer collections, retention, and the terms of the applicable Brava Advisor agreement.
There is no fixed salary or guaranteed income.
Why This Model Is Different
Traditional consultants often spend significant time gathering information before they can advise leadership.
Brava is designed to give the Advisor a continuous view into the company.
Instead of repeatedly starting from:
“What happened?”
the Advisor can spend more time on:
“Why is this happening?”
“What deserves attention?”
“What should leadership do?”
“Did the previous action actually work?”
That allows experienced Advisors to deliver deeper value while potentially overseeing a larger portfolio of companies than traditional consulting methods allow.
The Opportunity
Our goal is to build a network of exceptional Brava Advisors who each develop a meaningful recurring portfolio of businesses.
For the right person, this can become more than a referral opportunity.
It can become an independent advisory practice supported by Brava's technology, intelligence, methodology, and infrastructure.
