Manager, Entrepreneur Experience

About the Role:Endeavor Canada is a small, high-trust, high-performance team. We hire rarely, making this a unique opportunity. There is no corporate structure or slow decision-making. We support ambitious technology entrepreneurs from across Canada building globally competitive companies.
You will work directly with founders, investors, board members, and the global Endeavor network across 50+ markets. Your mission is simple but high-leverage: identify exceptional founders early, support them deeply, bring them together as a community, and ensure no high-potential Canadian entrepreneur is missed.
This is not a traditional account management or events role. It sits much closer to founder selection, strategic relationship building, and ecosystem intelligence. The community you build around our Endeavor Entrepreneurs is a lever for all three.
From Victoria and Vancouver to Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal, you will build relationships with founders years before they become widely recognized.
We value judgment over process-following. We care more about recognizing exceptional people, building trust, and multiplying impact than about executing predefined playbooks perfectly. The quality of judgment in this role directly shapes who enters the Endeavor network.
We support the founders of Canadian companies such as Jobber, KOHO Financial, and Nesto Group.
