Full Job Description
THE ROLE A company that moves fast needs people who can run it well and help shape where it's going. Spare builds AI-powered software that helps cities deliver better transit. Over 250 communities around the world rely on us today. We are growing fast and the internal operations that hold everything together need to match that pace. Strategic Operations sits at the centre of how Spare runs day to day. The foundation of the role is executive support for the three co-founders and oversight of the in-office experience: travel and scheduling, vendor relationships, events, culture, the environment that makes Spare a place people want to show up to. Once that foundation is dialled in, the role opens up into real strategic work alongside the Manager, Strategic Projects: planning sessions, cross-functional initiatives, board cycle support, and the internal AI tooling that is shaping how Spare operates next. The operational work is non-negotiable. It comes first because it is the foundation everything else is built on. The strategic work is what makes this role different, and it is what you grow into as you prove out the baseline. This is an early-career role. If you have been looking at openings like business operations / BizOps, founder's office, strategy and operations, or AI operations, this sits in the same space. If you are hungry to learn how a company actually runs, and willing to do the operational work that earns you a seat at the strategic table, then keep reading. This role requires a full-time presence at our Vancouver HQ 5 days per week. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Founder support. You get to know how each of the three co-founders works, with some support for the broader leadership team. What they need, when they need it, and how they prefer things handled. The scope is focused: no inbox management, no traveling with executives. But what you do handle (life event gifts, client hospitality, welcome notes, ad-hoc requests) you handle with the right taste, timing, and discret
