Basic Qualifications

  • Experience in an executive assistant, administrative, office management, operations, or purchasing role
  • Exceptional organization: you can juggle many moving pieces and nothing falls through the cracks
  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication
  • Comfort with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) and spreadsheets
  • Discretion and sound judgement with confidential information

What We're Looking For

We're building technology that hasn't been done before, and that takes a team that never lets details slip. Experience is helpful, but ownership, reliability, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you're the person who naturally ends up organizing everything, you love making things run smoothly, and you want to help build spacecraft, we encourage you to apply, whether you're early in your career or more experienced.

Preferred Skills

  • Resourceful problem solver with a scrappy, get-it-done approach under tight timelines
  • Purchasing or procurement experience at a hardware, manufacturing, engineering, or aerospace company
  • Experience supporting founders or senior executives at a startup
  • Familiarity with tools like Notion and Slack, and with business banking and expense platforms
  • Experience with import documentation, customs brokers, and freight forwarders
  • Basic bookkeeping knowledge, or experience working closely with an accountant
  • Comfort picking up technical vocabulary. You don't need to be an engineer, but you'll be ordering hardware from engineers' descriptions
  • English/French bilingualism is an asset

Additional Requirements

  • Extended hours and weekend work may occasionally be required to support critical project and mission milestones.
  • This role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.
  • Ability to lift and move incoming shipments and supplies.

Compensation

  • Salary: $55,000 – $70,000 CAD per year
  • Equity: 0.05% – 0.4%
  • If you want a front-row seat to building a space company and you're the kind of person who keeps everything on track, we'd love to hear from you.
  • Tell us about a time you took something disorganized, like an office, a process, an event, or a messy inbox, and made it run smoothly. What did you do, and what changed?
