Director of Operations Location: Ottawa or Toronto, ON (On‑Site) 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.

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.
