About Monachus
Monachus helps early-stage startups build scalable systems for compliance, security, and operations. Without the chaos. We're a small, high-trust team based in Vancouver, BC, and our clients are spread across North America. We work closely with founders and technical teams who are moving fast and need security and compliance done right, not just done.
“Monachus” is Latin for monk, meaning diligent, dedicated, wise. If you care about doing high-quality work, being hands-on in the world of compliance, learning constantly, and having real ownership over outcomes, this is the kind of place where that actually happens.
The Role
We're hiring an Operations & Delivery Manager to build the operating system behind how Monachus delivers. As Monachus grows, we’re continuing to strengthen the systems and operating rhythms that support consistent, high-quality client delivery. You’ll play a key role in building and improving these practices.
You’ll work closely with leadership and delivery teams to support smooth, consistent client engagements and strengthen the way Monachus operates as it grows.
What You'll Do
- Own delivery standards. Define how engagements kick off, run, and close, and hold the team to them.
- Plan capacity ahead of demand. Match the pipeline to people so deadlines hold and nobody burns out.
- Protect delivery health. Track billing accuracy, utilization, and engagement profitability, and act on what the numbers show.
- Get ahead of risk. Spot delays and scope issues early, and make sure clients hear about them from us first.
- Connect the lifecycle. Close the gaps between sales, delivery, and renewal so nothing gets dropped at handoffs.
- Build enablement. Create onboarding, communication training, and meeting frameworks that raise the bar for every consultant.
- Drive change. Prioritize process and AI improvements with a clear business case, and bring the team along.
- Support the team. Partner on retention, culture, and working-model decisions as we grow.
