What you’ll do:
- Lead and develop a team of Operations Specialists across operational workflows
- Own team performance: set expectations, manage throughput, and ensure the team is meeting SLAs and transaction deadlines
- Design and iterate on workflows in partnership with operations leads, incorporating AI tooling to continuously improve efficiency and accuracy
- Serve as the primary escalation point for complex cases that require judgment beyond the specialist level
- Coordinate cross-functionally with acquisition, renovation, resale, and finance teams
- Partner with R&D and ops AI teams to identify automation opportunities, test new tools, and give feedback on what's working
- Build the culture of the team: hire people who want to work with AI, move fast, and improve the work every day
- Be the single accountable person for your function in Toronto
What you’ll bring:
- Hands-on comfort with AI tools and technology; you actively use AI in your own work and can coach a team to do the same
- Proven experience managing operations teams, in high-volume, deadline-driven environments
- Experience building or scaling operations teams; you know how to set culture and norms early
- Strong operational instincts: you can look at a workflow and quickly identify what's broken, what should be automated, and what needs a human
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you'll be the bridge between Toronto execution and US-based teams
- High accountability and bias toward action; you fix problems before they become someone else's escalation
- Comfortable in ambiguity; processes are still being built and you'll be a primary architect of how this team operates
