Language Requirements:

While we welcome applicants from across Canada, including Quebec, please note that this role requires a high level of proficiency in English, both spoken and written. This is due to the fact that English is the working language across our national and global Endeavor teams, and is essential for day-to-day collaboration, documentation, and communication. Proficiency in French is considered an asset, but is not required.

Who You Are:

Endeavor is a values-driven organization. We are looking for someone who embodies:

• Entrepreneur First: You are someone who passionately believes in the power of high-growth entrepreneurs to change the world for the better. You care about our mission.

• Network of Trust: You are someone who can naturally build trust with anybody, from CTOs of cutting-edge startups to CEOs of established ventures.
• Pay It Forward: You will be someone with a service-oriented attitude, who asks “What can I do?” before asking “What can I get?”
• One Endeavor: You will be someone who thrives on working with colleagues in over 45 different countries around the world. You are collaborative and a bridge builder.
• Always Agile: You will be someone who understands that it's the planning, not the plans, that matter and therefore isn't deterred by pivots or evolutions. You’re gritty, bright, and willing to go above and beyond to exceed expectations.
