Handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment.
Coordinate office setup, including supplies, equipment, and service providers.
Own day-to-day office operations and relationships with building management, vendors, and contractors.
Keep the office welcoming, organized, and ready for the team, from meeting rooms to snacks, coffee, and everyday supplies.

Required Skills & Abilities

Experience in office management, executive support, or a similarly varied operational role.
Strong organizational skills and reliable follow-through.
The ability to prioritize competing requests and adapt when plans change.
Clear communication, good judgment, and discretion.
A practical, service-minded approach: you notice what needs doing and take ownership.
A scrappy, figure-it-out mindset. You’re comfortable working independently in a startup where responsibilities evolve and not everything has a process yet.
Confidence using calendar, document, and communication tools.
Montreal feels like a real home base for the team, with smooth systems you built yourself. The co-founder’s time is well managed, the office runs smoothly, and the team can focus on its work. Whether you’re coordinating an important meeting or restocking the kitchen, you bring the same care, initiative, and reliability.
