The Mission

Nomad is seeking a Director of Operations — a field-tested operator who can take command of active projects, systems, and contractors, executing flawlessly without a ready-made team behind them.

This role isn’t about managing staff — it’s about managing outcomes.
You’ll act as the central control tower, ensuring every commitment made by Nomad is executed with speed, precision, and accountability.

If you thrive in high-stakes environments, can juggle five moving fronts without losing composure, and know how to leverage both people and AI tools to get results — you’re the one we want.

Core Responsibilities

Operational Execution

• Translate leadership strategy into structured, trackable execution plans.
• Maintain day-to-day momentum across multiple concurrent projects.
• Drive accountability across vendors, developers, and subcontractors.
• Use AI and automation tools to optimize reporting, scheduling, and communication.

Project & Infrastructure Management

• Oversee end-to-end delivery for projects in technology, construction, security, housing, and infrastructure.
• Manage digital builds (apps, websites, platforms) alongside physical deployments (IT, camera, access control).
• Coordinate directly with vendors, contractors, and specialists — ensuring alignment, documentation, and quality.
• Anticipate logistical issues and solve them before they escalate.
• Prepare and maintain project scopes, budgets, and reports for executive review.
• Enforce QA standards, safety protocols, deadlines, and compliance across every project type.

Client & Partner Coordination

• Serve as the operational point of contact for clients and strategic partners.
• Communicate clearly, professionally, and proactively.
• Protect relationships through reliability and transparency.

Administrative & Budget Coordination

• Create and manage project budgets, schedules, and cost forecasts.
• Track milestones, expenditures, and deliverable status for reporting.
• Maintain internal project documentation and records for executive and accounting reference.
  

Systems & Process Control

• Design, document, and refine Nomad’s internal systems (the “NomadOS”).
• Implement AI-driven workflows and automations to increase efficiency.
• Standardize project templates, reports, and deliverable tracking.
• Build the operational foundation for future staff so scaling becomes seamless.

‍

Who You Are

• Highly self-directed: you don’t need daily oversight; you thrive on autonomy.
• Operationally omnivorous: comfortable jumping between IT installs, housing projects, and app launches.
• Technically literate: you can talk intelligently with both engineers and electricians.
• AI-fluent: adept at using tools like ChatGPT, ClickUp AI, Notion AI, or other automation platforms.
• Exceptionally organized: you build order out of chaos and never drop details.
• Emotionally disciplined: steady under fire, unflappable in ambiguity.
• Loyal and discreet: you protect the mission, the brand, and the leadership’s time.

This is not a “corporate COO” seat — it’s a command post for someone who can operate independently, think strategically, and execute relentlessly.

Non-Negotiables

• Integrity and confidentiality are mandatory. You’ll be entrusted with sensitive data and client communications.
• Loyalty and long-term commitment are expected — this is not a side gig.
• Results over titles. Precision over ego.

Required Experience

• 8 + years in operations, senior project management, or cross-sector delivery (construction, IT, consulting, or infrastructure).
• Proven record leading multidisciplinary projects independently.
• Deep working knowledge of project and collaboration tools (Freedcamp, Notion, ClickUp, Asana, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools for planning, documentation, and reporting.
• Exceptional communication and documentation discipline.
• Experience working with Indigenous or municipal clients is an asset.

Compensation & Path

• Competitive retainer starting at $6,000/month, increasing to $8,000/month based on performance milestones.
• High performers will have a path to full-time COO-track conversion ($100K–$120K/year + performance bonuses).
• Long-term: COO-track role contingent on trust, results, and operational excellence.

Final Word

Nomad is built on discipline, loyalty, and execution.
We don’t hand you comfort — we hand you command.
If you can operate solo, deliver under fire, and build systems that last — the seat is open.
