A Letter From the Owner

I’m Hilbert, owner-operator of Enso Group — a 6 year old Vancouver real estate investment and development company. You can see our work, like East Junction in East Vancouver, at enso-group.ca; Enso means the freedom to think (similar to first principles thinking) and it's our founding principle. We’re now building operating businesses. The first is a concept coffee shop I’m completely serious about; the others I’d rather tell you about in person.

Something you should know before you apply: I’m wired the ADHD way — mid-assessment as I write this (been putting it off way too long). I forget things, my thoughts jump, I talk too fast. At its best that’s speed and range. At its worst it’s ten open loops and a missed follow-up. So when our values say inclusiveness it's personal.

I’m hiring the person who turns that speed into finished work. What a manager is to an artist.

Who We Are Looking For

You’re the person who can’t leave a loop open. The books balance, the filing deadline never slips, and when something’s wrong you say so — even to the boss. You are organized, give and accept feedback well, driven by curiosity and learning. We care more about who you are more than any credential and prior job titles.

Who We Are

Enso Group is a 6 year old Vancouver real estate investment and development company — current work includes East Junction, our condo project in East Vancouver — guided by a founding principle of over and above. We’re now also launching high-growth operating businesses, starting with our first hospitality concepts. We run lean with consultants and contractors, and everyone rolls up their sleeves.

What we believe: people first, quality craft, longevity — real food, healthy spaces, businesses built to last — and inclusiveness: every identity and background welcome, accommodations in our hiring process yours for the asking.





The Role The anchor of this job is precision with consequence: you’re the owner’s right hand. You’ll build and run the operating rhythm — weekly planning, daily priorities, a commitment tracker with teeth — and hold everyone to it, the owner included. Budgets, quotes, permits, vendor paperwork, and the systems that keep a growing group honest. Full discretion with sensitive information — you’ll see everything.

The rest is variety your current job doesn’t offer: hands-on launches of our first hospitality concepts (buildout coordination, vendors, hiring the opening team, building the playbook) and the social media and pop-ups around our brands. The mandate rotates with the company’s top priority; next year it will look different. That’s the job — think of what a manager is to an artist.

Technology: you’re comfortable picking up whatever tool the job calls for, and you already use AI daily to draft, research, organize, and automate. You’ll show us how.

You

You might be a bookkeeper, paralegal, transaction coordinator, project coordinator, or office manager who’s outgrown the lane — or something we haven’t thought of. No specific resume required — we need proof you’re a doer. Steady when three unrelated things happen at once. Taste helps. Dog obsession is a serious plus.

Comp, Perks & Process

$60,000–$80,000 depending on what you bring + opening bonuses · extended health & dental · paid time off · dress code: self-expression. Our process: a conversation about how you work, a short working session (including how you use AI), and references.

To Apply

Send a resume (or whatever tells your story) and a short note answering two things: a problem you solved before your boss knew it existed, and the messiest thing you’ve ever put in order — with how AI helped, if it did.

Pay: $60,000.00-$80,000.00 per year
