Chief of Operations generally refers to a position, rather than a line rank. On a starship, Operations is one of the main ship's departments, along with Engineering, Medicine, Sciences, and Security/Tactical, and is typically headed by a senior bridge officer (e.g. Lt. Cmdr. Data, TNG). On small starships, line officers of lesser rank can hold the position (e.g., Ensign Harry Kim, VOY).
On starbases and space stations, the position is sometimes held by senior non-commissioned officers with substantial field experience (e.g. Chief Miles O'Brien, DS9).
