RESPONSABLE CONTROLE DE GESTION OPERATIONNEL (H/F)

Location: Ottawa or Toronto, ON (On-Site) Reports to: HR, business operations, and facilities. You’ll build the operational backbone a company needs: the hiring-to-onboarding machinery, the office and factory environments our engineers depend on, the vendor and process infrastructure, and the day-to-day rhythm that lets everyone else focus on the mission instead of the mechanics.
This isn’t a back-office administrator’s seat. If you want to run operations for a company where the work actually matters, and where operational excellence is a national security requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Own business operations end to end. Design and run the systems, processes, and operating rhythms that keep the company moving, from planning cycles and internal tooling to cross-functional coordination and the execution that turns rapid growth into durable capability.
Build the foundation that enables our team to scale. Design and run the people operations infrastructure, including HR systems, onboarding, policies, benefits administration, compliance, and employee records. Run all facilities. Own our Ottawa and Toronto sites, including the factory floor and R&D space including security build-out, access control, health and safety, equipment, and the physical environment our engineers and operators rely on. Design and implement the systems, processes, and controls that enable Dominion to grow with confidence, including vendor management, procurement, asset lifecycle management, and the operational foundations that keep the business running smoothly.
Partner with security and leadership on the operational side of controlled-environment requirements such as facility security, controlled goods, and the standards a Canadian defence company is held to.
Hire, mentor, and grow the operations, facilities, and people function as the company scales. Set the bar, then raise it.
8+ years of experience in operations, business operations, or a related leadership role, with broad experience across business operations, people operations, workplace operations, and facilities.

• A track record of building operational functions from the ground up in a fast-scaling company — not just running a mature one someone else built.
• Demonstrated ownership across people, process, and physical operations at once where you’re comfortable moving between an HR policy, a vendor contract, and a facilities problem in the same day.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a Canadian security clearance (Secret).
