• Manage operational compliance, vendor coordination, insurance renewals, and other recurring administrative processes.
• Own relationships with external partners and contractors, ensuring smooth collaboration and operational continuity.
• Provide guidance and support to one direct report, assisting with day-to-day operational priorities.
• Support leadership with operational planning, cross-functional coordination, documentation, and ongoing business operations.
• Identify operational gaps and recommend or implement improvements to processes and workflows.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in business operations, finance operations, people operations, or similar roles, preferably in startup environments.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and shifting deadlines.
• Excellent judgment and comfort making independent decisions within defined boundaries.
• Strong written communication and documentation skills, with attention to detail and follow-through.
• Ability to operate calmly and effectively in ambiguous situations while collaborating cross-functionally.
• Systems- and process-oriented mindset with experience in operational workflow management.
• Bonus points for experience supporting remote-first organizations, SaaS business operations, HRIS/payroll systems, compliance workflows, executive leadership support, or tools such as Rippling, Carta, Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, or Xero.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation range of CAD $110,000–$150,000, with potential equity and performance-based incentives.
• Fully remote role with flexibility to work from anywhere in Canada.
• Exposure to a high-growth startup environment with direct impact on operational continuity and business outcomes.
• Opportunity to develop cross-functional skills in finance, people operations, compliance, and vendor management.
• Supportive, inclusive, and mission-driven work culture prioritizing employee well-being and professional growth.
