Requirements
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.
Operations leadership inside a hardware, manufacturing, or defence company where you understand factory floors, not just offices.
Exposure to controlled goods programs, facility security, or clearance environments.
You’ve scaled a company through a period of fast headcount growth and lived to tell about it.
We've hired people who didn't tick every box.
Compensation & Benefits
Building something meaningful starts with the right people. At Dominion Dynamics, you’ll:
Shape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies.
Make decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Move fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator — our systems are in the field with the CAF now.
Have an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.
If you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong!
Responsibilities
You own the systems and the people that keep Dominion running: 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.
You’ll set the standards the rest of the company inherits, make decisions with real consequences, and build a function from the ground up.
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.
Design and run the people operations infrastructure, including HR systems, onboarding, policies, benefits administration, compliance, and employee records.
