Office Manager & Executive Assistant
About Bree
Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after. We are growing at a double-digit monthly rate and are profitable. Our culture is defined by high ownership, a bias for action, tenacious problem-solving, and striving to be 1% better every day.
About the Role
We are looking for a proactive, high-energy Office Manager & Executive Assistant to be the heartbeat of our physical workspace and a key partner to our leadership team. You aren’t just "managing an office"; you are our Head of Employee Experience. You will ensure the team has everything they need to move fast, and have a great time doing it. The ideal candidate believes no task is too small and no challenge is too big. You take pride in a spotless, high-functioning environment and find joy in building a world-class company culture.
This is an in-office role at our Downtown Toronto office at Yonge/Bloor.
What You’ll Do
Office Operations & Logistics: Own the office environment. This includes designing the space into a productive and comfortable workspace that genuinely makes the team excited to come in, receiving deliveries, and even unloading the dishwasher and refilling the coffee (the lifeblood of the team).
Employee Experience & Culture: Act as our primary culture carrier. You’ll plan actually fun happy hours, team-building events, and company socials. You’ll manage a budget that you can use on literally anything; catering, trying out new snack vendors, buying fun office decor, designing team swag, or anything you can come up with.
Executive Administration: Provide high-level support to the executive team, including calendar management, travel coordination, and document preparation. You’ll act as a gatekeeper and a force multiplier for their time.
Procurement & Vendor Management: Proactively manage office supplies, snacks, and furniture. Negotiate with vendors to ensure Bree is getting the best service and value. Liaise with property management, WiFi provider, and various contractors to help us maintain a stellar work environment.
Special Projects: Lead various high-impact culture initiatives—from onboarding new hires to making sure "Bree-versary" milestones are celebrated in style.
What You’ll Need
2+ years of experience in office management, executive assistance, or a high-touch hospitality role (ideally in a fast-paced environment).
The "Hospitality Heart": You genuinely enjoy taking care of people and creating an environment where others can do their best work.
Extreme Ownership: You don't wait to be told the coffee is out or a printer is broken; you’ve already fixed it.
Exceptional Organization: You can juggle a complex executive calendar while simultaneously coordinating a lunch delivery for 30 people without breaking a sweat.
Strong Communication: You are professional, warm, and clear, whether you’re talking to a courier or a Board member.
Benefits
Pay range: $30-$45/hour
$250 monthly lunch stipend
$150 monthly commuting stipend
A high-autonomy environment where your impact on company culture is visible every single day.
This is a contract role to start, with opportunity to advance to a full-time role.
