Ceo jobs in Canada

Born out of a passion to redefine the modern workspace, our mission is to create seamless, design-led, high-performing environments. As a property technology business, we are at the forefront of integrating cutting‑edge solutions with innovative design to create intelligent, adaptable spaces. Founded by a collaborative team of architects, industrial designers, and business consultants, we partner with some of the world’s leading manufacturers to craft versatile, ergonomic, and innovative environments for businesses. With offices across the U.S., Australia, the UK, and Canada, we’re driven by a shared vision to evolve the way people work.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this role sits at the heart of our global operations. As Chief of Staff & Executive Operations Manager, you will be responsible for managing executive workflow, enabling strategic decision‑making, and ensuring the CEO’s time, priorities, and communications are aligned with the needs of the business. This is a unique opportunity to partner closely with the CEO on both day‑to‑day execution and long‑term planning. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re organized, people‑focused, and able to translate complex priorities into clear plans across a fast‑moving, high‑growth global organization.

The business is led by a world‑class founding team of experienced operators, exited founders, and senior executives. We’re looking for someone who is both strategic and hands‑on—someone who can support the CEO in planning and decision‑making while also rolling up their sleeves to manage day‑to‑day administrative, HR, and operational functions. This role spans global HR leadership, administrative management, executive support, internal communications, and policy governance. You will act as the connective tissue between staff and senior leadership, ensuring clarity, accountability, and alignment across the organization.

Your experience working in both the UK and Canada is central to this role, as Bureau continues to expand operations in Europe. Your knowledge of regional employment practices, workplace standards, and cross‑border operations will guide our growth and ensure compliance across jurisdictions.
