These are market observation rather than survey data: they are compiled from rates quoted to us during Operator Search briefs, from operators on the bench serving this market, and from published rates for the equivalent seats. They are bands, not means, and they carry less underlying data than the UK set, which comes off live listings. No per-seat full-time salary assumption is published for this market because we do not have one we can stand behind. See https://getoperators.co/us/day-rates for what these numbers do and do not support.","markets_available":["uk","us","uae"],"seats":11,"rates":[{"seat":"cfo","title":"Chief Financial Officer","day_rate_low":1000,"day_rate_high":2200,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"cmo","title":"Chief Marketing Officer","day_rate_low":900,"day_rate_high":1800,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"cto","title":"Chief Technology Officer","day_rate_low":1000,"day_rate_high":2000,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"coo","title":"Chief Operating Officer","day_rate_low":900,"day_rate_high":1800,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"sales-director","title":"Sales Director or CRO","day_rate_low":900,"day_rate_high":1800,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"growth","title":"Head of Growth","day_rate_low":800,"day_rate_high":1500,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"product","title":"Chief Product Officer","day_rate_low":900,"day_rate_high":1700,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"people","title":"Chief People Officer","day_rate_low":800,"day_rate_high":1500,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"ciso","title":"Chief Information Security Officer","day_rate_low":1200,"day_rate_high":2300,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"data","title":"Head of Data","day_rate_low":900,"day_rate_high":1700,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"},{"seat":"general-counsel","title":"General Counsel","day_rate_low":1100,"day_rate_high":2100,"higher_end_applies_for":null,"typical_days_per_week":"1-3","full_time_salary_assumption":null,"currency":"USD","country":"US"}]}
