Original job description
Girdley Enterprises is a small holding company run by Michael Girdley. We buy, build, and run businesses: fireworks, cybersecurity, media, and new ventures we're incubating now, including Hire with Near and Bedrock QoE.
This is a junior role, built for someone early in their career. We're a tiny team running a whole portfolio, so this seat touches everything. In a given month you might help stand up a new company, work on diligence for an acquisition, run a hire from sourcing to offer, plan a leadership offsite, and keep the finances and operations underneath it all tight.
This role is for you if:
- You'd rather learn how businesses actually get built than read about it
- People already hand you the messy stuff because you'll get it done
- You care about the details others skip, including the unglamorous ones
- You want range now and a real path later: people who do this well go on to run a portfolio company or take a senior operating role
What we need:
- A university degree
- ~2 years of work experience where you owned real outcomes
- Based in Canada, available during Central Time hours
- Discretion with sensitive financial and personnel information
Compensation:
CA$70,000–80,000
How to apply:
Email robyn@girdley.com with the subject line "Chief of Staff – [Your Name]." Include your resume.
