What is the difference between a Chief Operating Officer and an Office Manager?

What actual duties are different from one and the other and how does the scope of each role's remit differ? Thanks!|||KlemKidd gave you the right answer. A very good Office Manager might make $70,000 tops. The absolute lowest for a COO would be $100,000 and most would have pay far far beyond that. Office Managers are often older women who have worked their way up from a secretarial or bookkeeping job. In most cases they are a trusted confidant of the CEO, CFO or COO. If you work in an office with an office manager, keep that in mind. Give the Office Manager any grief, even if you are a college grad and make more, and you will be history so fast it will make your head spin. Keep the Office Manager happy and you will be surprised that the CEO, CFO or COO suddenly knows your name and says hi hows it going.





And excuse me for saying Office Managers are usually older women. Sometimes reality just keeps getting in the way of all that political correctness.|||The Chief Operating Officer is responsible for the entire operation of the company


and all departments





The Office Manager only manages the office flow and personnel


which is one department of many in a company
