As a small, passionate team, our leaders stay deeply connected to our mission. Working on-site at our Ottawa office, you will collaborate directly with our executive leadership, our internal Onboarding and Compliance Co-ordinator, and our external legal counsel to manage our corporate compliance portfolio.

This role is ideal for a new law graduate, legal assistant, or paralegal looking to leverage their analytical and legal acumen.

Ultimately, you will help us architect and document a scalable compliance model designed to streamline our national growth.

- Executive Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the Executive Team and external lawyers to integrate seamless compliance protocols directly into business processes and new projects.
- Employee Training: Provide clear training, ongoing guidance, and educational materials to employees and staff on compliance-related topics and ethical standards.
- Reporting & Documentation: Prepare and submit thorough compliance reports to management and official regulatory bodies, maintaining flawless records of all compliance outcomes.
- Agency Point of Contact: Act as the primary point of contact for regulatory agencies, confidently responding to external inquiries, audits, or structural inspections.

What We’re Looking For:

- Educational & Professional Background: A legal background is required. You are a recent law school graduate, a trained legal assistant, or a certified paralegal.
- Regulatory & Legal Acumen: Familiarity with interpreting Canadian provincial statutes, municipal bylaws, and regulatory frameworks (experience with transportation, healthcare, or corporate law is a major asset).
- Logistical & Tracking Skills: Exceptional organizational skills with a proven ability to manage tight timelines, track document completion, and maintain flawless records.
- Work Ethic: A self-motivated builder with an entrepreneurial mindset who thrives on problem-solving and transforming ambiguity into structured processes.
- Tech Proficiency: High proficiency with Microsoft Office (specifically Excel and Word). Experience with CRM systems and digital tracking tools is a major asset.
- Communication: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.



You can comfortably translate complex legal/regulatory language for leadership, employees, and external partners.
- Mission-Driven: A genuine passion for making a difference, supporting community health, and serving those who have served our country.

Why Join Us:

- Make a Real Impact: Every process you streamline directly ensures that veterans and individuals facing health challenges receive safe, dignified, and reliable care. Your work bridges the gap between legal compliance and life-changing community service.
- Build and Scale: You won’t just be maintaining an existing system or filling out forms. You will be the lead architect building a proprietary compliance engine from the ground up—one that will directly fuel our multi-province expansion strategy.
