Job Description

Location: Etobicoke, ON (2 days onsite, occasional 3rd day based on CEO schedule)
Salary: $80,000–$85,000 + excellent benefits
Start Date: ASAP

This role is ideal for someone who thinks beyond traditional executive support — a professional with a consultative, project-ownership mindset who is comfortable asking questions, operating independently, and driving work forward in a changing environment.

The Opportunity

This is a modern Executive Assistant role with strong Chief-of-Staff elements. The CEO is highly capable and self-sufficient and is looking for a trusted partner who can take assigned work, own it end-to-end, and deliver results with minimal oversight.

Rather than heavy calendar management, this role focuses on project coordination, drafting, follow-through, and problem-solving. You may also provide light support to other executives as needed.

This opportunity will strongly appeal to candidates from consulting, advisory, policy, or project-based backgrounds who enjoy autonomy and exposure to executive-level priorities.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner closely with the CEO on priority initiatives and special projects

• Take ownership of assigned workstreams, from scoping through delivery

• Draft, review, and refine correspondence, briefing notes, presentations, and internal materials

• Coordinate with internal teams and stakeholders to move work forward efficiently

• Provide executive support as required

• Proactively question assumptions, identify gaps, and suggest process improvements

• Handle sensitive and confidential matters with sound judgment and discretion

The Right Profile

You are not seeking a traditional administrative role. You are:

• Independent, inquisitive, and confident pushing for clarity

• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities

• Organized, detail-oriented, and outcomes-focused

• Able to receive high-level direction and determine the execution path independently

Qualifications & Experience

• Post-secondary education or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of experience in executive support, consulting, advisory, or project-driven environments

• Strong project ownership and follow-through capabilities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• High level of professionalism, discretion, and judgment

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office

• Board exposure is nice to have, but not required

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $80,000–$85,000 annually

• Health, Dental & Vision Coverage

• Health Spending Account

• RRSP Matching

• Paid Time Off

• Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP)

• Work Perks: Access to Perkopolis

• Wellness: GoodLife Fitness corporate discount program
