Principal Operations Manager

Vancouver, BC, Canada

On Site | 675 W Hastings St.

 

Role Overview

 

We are seeking a highly capable, execution-driven operator to work closely with senior leadership on a wide range of operational and business initiatives. This role is designed for someone who can take loosely defined requests, determine what needs to be done, and carry the work through to completion with minimal direction.

 

This position goes beyond traditional executive support. It requires strong business judgment, structured thinking, and the ability to navigate ambiguity, systems, and cross-functional stakeholders with confidence.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

Operational Execution & Problem Solving

• Take high-level requests from leadership and translate them into clear action plans

• Independently execute operational projects across teams such as Finance, Sales, Operations, and People

• Identify what information, resources, or stakeholders are required to complete a task — without being prompted

• Proactively surface risks, gaps, or inefficiencies and recommend practical solutions

 

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work across departments to gather information, validate assumptions, and move initiatives forward

• Follow up consistently to ensure deliverables are completed accurately and on time

• Act as a central point of execution for initiatives that don’t clearly “belong” to one team

 

Systems, Data & Process Work

• Navigate internal tools and systems (e.g., CRM, finance tools, internal databases, spreadsheets) to extract and validate information

• Reconcile data across sources when information is inconsistent or incomplete

• Create simple, repeatable processes or documentation when gaps are identified

 

Executive-Level Support (Strategic, Not Administrative)

• Support leadership with analyses, summaries, and recommendations as needed

• Exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive information

• Anticipate follow-up questions and prepare next steps proactively

 

Qualifications

 

Required

• 4–8 years of experience in operations, business analysis, consulting, project management, or senior-level executive support

• Demonstrated ability to operate independently with minimal instruction

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills

• High comfort working with multiple systems, data sources, and imperfect information

• Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

 

Preferred

• Experience working closely with founders or C-suite leaders

• Background in startups, scale-ups, or fast-moving organizations

• Experience owning cross-functional or ambiguous projects

• Familiarity with CRMs, finance tools, or internal reporting systems

 

What This Role Requires

• Comfort with ambiguity and unclear starting points

• Strong ownership mindset — seeing tasks through without handholding

• Ability to ask the right clarifying questions, then move forward

• Executive-level judgment and discretion

• Bias toward action and follow-through

 

What This Role Is Not

• A calendar- or travel-focused executive assistant role

• A narrow functional specialist role

• A position with rigid, pre-defined tasks

 

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Leadership can make an ask once — not repeatedly

• Projects move forward without constant check-ins

• Ambiguous requests turn into clear outcomes

• The organization gains momentum and clarity through execution

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
