Job description

We’re a boutique technical consultancy that provides fractional CTO support and a fractional engineering department to early-stage deep-tech startups. We specialize in hardware, embedded firmware, mechanical systems, and data science. Think physical plus computational products, not full-stack software.

We’re entering an exciting transition toward company building and venture creation, supported by a parent technology holding company that owns IP, equity in tech startups, and the capacity to act as a foundry for new ventures built around engineering, applied research, and product development.

As the consultancy pivots from traditional business development toward venture-driven demand generation, it becomes essential that the day-to-day business runs smoothly, predictably, and with minimal executive drag. We’re hiring a Senior Executive Assistant + Finance Admin to make that possible.

The mission of this role is straightforward : keep the consultancy running with high operational hygiene so the CEO, CFO, and COO can focus on higher-leverage work such as delivery leadership, FP&A, client development, and supporting the parent company’s venture creation efforts.

If you enjoy being close to founders and startups, and you like turning chaos into clarity, you’ll probably love this role.

What You’ll Own

Admin + Executive Support

  • Collaborate to manage strategic calendar prioritization for CEO, CFO, and COO
  • Participate in executive meetings; manage AI notetaker, meeting minutes, and context artifacts
  • Manage email triage, follow-ups, and executive action items
  • Coordinate internal and external meetings with clients, founders, and partners
  • Reduce context switching and friction across leadership
  • Run invoicing, AP / AR, and monthly bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online
  • Reconcile accounts and maintain accurate records
  • Track cash flow and prepare weekly and monthly reporting for the CFO
  • Coordinate with accountants for filings and year-end
  • Maintain banking and payroll inputs (Ceridian)
  • Early task : rationalize and clean up the chart of accounts to better align financial reporting with both consulting and venture‑creation activities

Operational Execution

  • Coordinate office and vendor logistics (cleaners, repairs, supplies, movers)
  • Support implementation of operational processes under COO direction
  • Participate in the company’s EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) operating rhythms and assist with preparation and follow‑through (rocks, scorecards, action items)
  • Handle one‑off tasks that keep the company running smoothly
  • Success Looks Like (90 Days)

  • Monthly books are clean, timely, and accurate
  • The chart of accounts is organized and rationalized
  • Cash flow visibility is consistent and useful
  • Executives gain significant leverage and time back
  • Calendars reflect strategic priorities rather than reactive scheduling
  • No dropped balls across operational cycles or critical workflows
  • The company operates with low friction and low drama
  • About You

    You’re likely a fit if you :

  • Have 5 to 10 plus years supporting founders or senior executives
  • Are financially literate (QBO, bookkeeping, AP / AR, cash flow)
  • Operate with autonomy, accountability, and discretion
  • Communicate clearly and with high candor
  • Are proactive, structured, calm, and low‑ego
  • Can toggle between big‑picture context and small‑detail execution
  • Enjoy working with cool people to build cool tech things
  • Thrive in small companies with real responsibility
  • Find startups and venture‑building intellectually energizing
  • Bonus : experience supporting founders, technical leaders, or small executive teams in early‑stage environments such as startups, consultancies, studios, or VC / PE
  • Reporting Structure

  • Reports to the COO
  • Supports the CEO, CFO, and COO
  • Tools You Will Use

    Finance & Reporting

  • QuickBooks Online (required)
  • Ceridian (payroll)
  • Fathom (nice to have)
  • Google Workspace
  • ClickUp
  • CRM / Client Interaction

  • HubSpot (nice to have)
  • Leverage / Workflow Automation

  • n8n (nice to have, open to learn)
  • Full‑time, hybrid. Must be based in Victoria with minimum 50% in‑office for high‑bandwidth collaboration, operational coordination, and context exchange. Our office is located in downtown Victoria. In‑person time is about leverage and speed, not supervision.

    Compensation

    $75,000 to $100,000 CAD per year depending on experience.

    How to Apply

    Send :

  • Resume to careers@motusdesign.ca
  • A short note on why this role and why now
  • Optional : an example of a system or workflow you built that freed up executive time
  • #J-18808-Ljbffr
