About Us
Biotecture Inc. is an emerging multidisciplinary company working at the intersection of socially responsible architecture, land stewardship, innovation, and strategic foresight. We advance justice-oriented, sustainability-driven work in partnership with communities and institutions, with a particular focus on equity-deserving and historically marginalized groups.
As a founder-led company in an early but intentional growth phase, we value clarity, care, and systems that support long-term resilience.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced and intrinsically motivated Fractional Operations Coordinator to support our busy Founder & CEO across multiple business ventures and federal, provincial, and municipal governance roles.
