• Use data to diagnose issues, improve systems, and inform decisions.
• Work closely with the Operations Manager and Accountant on financial reporting, year‑end close, and SR&ED claims.

Grants, Projects & Provincial Expansion

• Actively manage grant submissions, reporting, and claims processes.
• Design and implement compliant operational processes (e.g., billing and workflows) aligned with provincial regulations.

• Ability to operate confidently at both strategic and execution levels in a fast‑paced environment.
