Are you the kind of person who loves bringing clarity to chaos and helping teams deliver great work—on time and on budget? Are you hungry to grow your impact in project management, marketing operations, and client delivery? Are you excited by fast-paced environments, diverse client challenges, and collaborating closely with designers and marketers? You just might be our next Stryver.
From tech to agriculture, we work with a wide range of B2B clients. They're doing amazing things in their spaces. It's our job to push them even further. We work smart. We deliver exceptional work. Then, we log the hell off and enjoy our lives! Want to go even deeper into our company culture? Here's more on what life at Stryve is like, straight from the source.
This position is open to Canadian residents who are available to work in the Eastern time zone. You'd have the flexibility to work remotely, come into the office every day, or do a combination of both. Our office in Kitchener supports a collaborative hybrid workplace in the world's largest IoT building, Catalyst137.
While this would be a remote-first position, you will need to travel to our Kitchener office or nearby clients a few times a year, so being within a commutable distance is essential.
