Compensation: $145,000 – $160,000 + bonus + northern incentives
Relocation: Required (non-rotational)
About the Company This chance is with a well-established, northern-based real estate owner and operator with a long-standing presence in Nunavut. The organization owns and manages a diverse mixed-use portfolio, including residential, hospitality, and essential commercial assets that support day-to-day life in northern communities.
The company is deeply invested in the long-term stability, infrastructure, and growth of the North. With significant projects underway and more planned, they offer a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where your decisions and expertise have real, visible impact.
About the Role This is a full-time, onsite leadership role based in Iqaluit and is not rotational. The successful candidate will relocate to the North and become an integral part of the local operation and community. In return, the role offers meaningful incentives, including a quarterly travel allowance, five weeks of paid vacation, and a comprehensive relocation package to support the move.
As the Operations Manager, you will oversee building operations across a mixed-use portfolio in Nunavut and Yellowknife. You’ll lead complex building systems, manage and support on-site teams, and ensure operational continuity in a remote setting where strong decision-making and hands-on leadership truly matter.
This position goes well beyond technical operations. It requires a leader who can manage people, budgets, vendors, and infrastructure — and who sees operations as a long-term commitment to stability, safety, and community impact in the North.
