How much money does your firm’s chief operating officer make? How much should he/she make? We thought we had a pretty good idea, but a job listing forwarded by a contact today has us checking our sources.
This opening, officially listed as “PR COO, New York,” boasts a starting salary of $400K…and the employer in question is “a mid-size marketing shop” in the Big Apple. Mid-size?!
For reference, PR Week’s 2014 Salary Survey found EVP to be the highest-paid position in the comms field, with an average salary of $200K at firms across the country.
Glassdoor tells us that median totals for COOs across all industries range from $170K to $220K, with the latter applying specifically to the New York City area.
