Director of Operations & Finance (Future growth Track)
Location: North York, ON (100% On-Site) Target Base Salary: $110,000 – $130,000 CAD + Performance Bonuses Tied Directly to Corporate Revenue & EBITDA Milestones
About Us
We are a fast-growing, tech-forward food operations and route-logistics enterprise pacing toward our next major phase of scale. Operating a multi-channel automated retail network alongside our own fresh food production facility, we do not function like a traditional, slow corporate office. For us, business is a passion, an art of building something significant, and an incredibly fast-paced environment. Our culture is built on safety, productivity, root-cause discipline, and out-executing our competition daily. We are looking for our true Number 2—a strategic, hands-on leader to help run and structurally transform our operational execution as we scale.
This is an intensive, high-autonomy role designed for a leader who wants to transition from financial frameworks into full operational scale. You are entering this business as the right hand to the CEO. If you possess the raw velocity, operational resilience, and natural business instincts required, your direct track is to transition into the #2 role, taking over full operational execution of the entire company.
You will earn this seat in the trenches over the next few years by ruthlessly protecting direct contribution margins, eliminating inventory leakage, building a "fix-it-first-time" culture, and optimizing system execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Process & SOP Enforcement: Directly author, implement, and enforce strict accountability and standard operating procedures (SOPs) across our field, route, and on-site production teams to eliminate operational friction.
- Compliance & Governance: Take absolute internal ownership of all financial compliance, reporting workflows, corporate governance, and day-to-day transaction flows.
- KPI Optimization: Learn and master the core financial and logistical levers of a high-volume route business, identifying margin leaks and tracking daily efficiency signals.
- Payment Architecture Management: Modernize our automated spend ingestion and inventory valuation systems to drive absolute precision across multiple data sources.
Prerequisite Experience & Technical Capability
- The Foundation: 4+ years of full-cycle accounting, ledger control, and financial operations experience. Sizable experience in public accounting (CPA tracking or designated) followed by hands-on private industry execution is a strong asset.
- Grounded Upbringing: Direct experience growing up in or working within a fast-paced family business, route-logistics network, or physical product manufacturing hub. You understand the grit required to build an enterprise and lead by example.
- Advanced Data Literacy: Highly proficient with modern accounting software and AI architecture. You must possess the data literacy to navigate data views, interpret system telemetry, and analyze exception reporting to catch inventory discrepancies.
- Process Builder: Proven track record of drafting, deploying, and personally auditing standard operating procedures (SOPs) where your enforcement directly improved operational outcomes.
- System Automation Fluency: Practical experience using or deploying modern automated payment frameworks, spend-management platforms, or advanced inventory matching engines to streamline accounts payable.
Who You Are
- Fiercely Authentic: You are direct, transparent, and speak with absolute candor. You don’t play corporate political games, you hold your peers to an exceptionally high standard, and you act with total independent execution.
- High Operational Stamina: You thrive in high-pressure, incredibly fast-moving environments. You possess the focus, personal drive, and work ethic demanded by a rapidly scaling enterprise.
- Autonomous Problem Solver: If you bring a roadblock to the executive table, you have already lined up two distinct solutions. You do not look to others to solve your problems; you execute the fix yourself.
Who Will Thrive Here
- Professionals who love seeing the direct, measurable impact of their decisions on a P&L every single day.
- Leaders who believe internal promotion is the best way to build an empire and want to earn their advancement through performance.
- Data-driven operators who enjoy stepping away from the desk to solve a problem directly on the warehouse floor or out with the route drivers.
Who This Role Is Not For
If you are looking for a predictable 9-to-5, a slow office environment, a hybrid schedule, or a hands-off strategic management layer where you don't get your hands dirty in the operational weeds, this environment will not be the right fit. Lazy, non-authentic, or low-stamina profiles need not apply.
