Job description

Director of Operations

Golo Solutions Inc. | Remote within Canada | $95,000 CAD base + up to $25,000 annual performance bonus

Help run the business. Build your future.

You're the person people trust to keep things moving. You learn quickly, bring order to competing priorities and follow through without being chased.

Now you're ready to move from supporting the operation to helping run it. You want broader responsibility, more influence over decisions and the opportunity to develop into a true operational leader.

Golo Solutions is hiring a Director of Operations to work directly with President Cleo Basque. You'll become his trusted operational partner, take ownership of daily operations and help build the systems that support the company's next stage of growth.

What's in it for you

• Direct access to the President. Work through real decisions involving clients, contracts, staffing and financial administration. Learn how the different parts of the business fit together.
• Leadership experience. Lead meetings, set expectations, coordinate people and hold others accountable. Develop your judgment through hands‑on responsibility and direct feedback.
• Room to grow. As you deliver results and the business develops, you can earn broader decision‑making authority, responsibility for more of the operation and opportunities to lead others. Your growth will depend on your performance and the needs of the business.
• Visible impact. Build processes and solve problems that improve how the team works and how clients experience Golo.
• Remote work within Canada. Work remotely from anywhere in Canada, with occasional travel to client offices and project sites as required.
• Clear compensation. Earn a $95,000 annual base salary plus up to $25,000 in annual performance bonuses, paid quarterly at up to $6,250 per quarter.

About Golo

Golo Solutions provides construction management, construction coordination, scheduling and cost management, and qualified professionals who work within clients' teams. Our work supports complex industrial projects, including projects in Quebec and Newfoundland.

Safety, quality and reliability are central to how we operate. As we grow, we need a capable leader who can keep today's commitments under control while helping us prepare for tomorrow.

What you'll own

• Daily operations: Turn priorities into clear actions, owners and deadlines. Coordinate project leaders, support staff and external partners, and follow through to completion.
• Staffing and mobilization: Work with our recruiting partner to anticipate staffing needs, coordinate interviews, oversee onboarding and organize project starts and rotations.
• Client relationships: Maintain regular client contact, resolve concerns early and support proposals, rate submissions and new business opportunities.
• Financial administration: Coordinate payroll, consultant payments and invoicing with our accountant. Prepare accurate information and clear approval packages for the President.
• Business controls: Keep agreements, insurance, registrations and project requirements organized and current.
• Operational visibility: Provide the President with a concise daily brief outlining priorities, issues, recommendations and decisions requiring his approval.

What the Role Is Not

This isn't a role where you'll wait for someone to tell you what to do. Priorities will change, information won't always be complete and you'll need to use your judgment.

We're looking for someone who sees what needs to happen, takes ownership and brings solutions, not just problems, to the President.

How you'll know you're succeeding

We'll agree on your responsibilities, decision‑making authority and quarterly scorecard so you know what you own and how your performance is measured.

Meeting expectations means commitments are tracked and completed, clients receive timely communication, staffing and administration are organized, and issues are brought to the President early with a recommendation.

Exceptional performance means you anticipate needs, prevent recurring problems and continuously improve how the team operates. The President can confidently delegate more because you've demonstrated sound judgment and reliable execution.

Repeated chasing, missed commitments without warning, preventable administrative failures and bypassing required safety or business controls are unacceptable.

Your first 90 days

• Learn the active projects, clients, team members and operating requirements.
• Establish a reliable system for tracking priorities, commitments and deadlines.
• Take ownership of payroll and payment preparation in coordination with our accountant.
• Build a current staffing forecast and mobilization tracker.
• Centralize insurance, registrations and contract requirements.
• Establish a daily briefing rhythm that gives Cleo confidence in the operation.

What you bring

You may already lead operations, or you may be a project coordinator, business manager or trusted second‑in‑command ready for a bigger role. Your title matters less than the responsibility you've carried and the results you've delivered.

• Experience coordinating people, projects and competing priorities.
• A track record of taking ownership and following through independently.
• Strong organizational skills, sound judgment and clear written and verbal communication.
• Comfort working with numbers, agreements and business administration.
• The ability to set expectations and hold people accountable respectfully.
• Discretion when handling confidential information and a genuine desire to develop as a leader.
• Must reside in Canada and be able to travel to client offices and project sites as required.
• Experience in construction, mining, engineering or project staffing is an asset.
• Fluent in English; conversational or professional proficiency in French is an asset.
• QuickBooks experience, along with recruitment and workforce mobilization experience, is valuable.
• A willingness to take on a broad, hands‑on role, solving today's problems while improving the processes behind them.

Position details

• Employment: Full‑time, permanent.
• Location: Remote within Canada, with occasional required travel.
• Reports to: President.
• Base salary: $95,000 CAD annually.
• Performance bonus: Up to $25,000 annually, paid quarterly at up to $6,250 per quarter. Performance measures will be outlined in a written scorecard agreed upon in advance.
