Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/營運長 vs 首席运营官
chief operating officer (COO) · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 营运 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 營運長; on the Mainland it is 首席运营官 - both point at “chief operating officer (COO)”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 營運長、首席運營官 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
