👀 The Role
Head of Strategy & Operations
Location: Toronto - in office
Midnite is preparing to launch and scale its Canadian business. We are looking for a Head of Strategy & Operations to partner directly with the Canada GM, drive the launch program, build the operating model, and become the steward of the Canada strategy, P&L, priorities, and budget once we go live. This leader will ensure that priorities are clear and that cross-functional teams and plans are aligned toward a common outcome.
As a member of the Canadian leadership team, the Head of S&O will support the GM in launching, operating, and scaling the business. They will work closely with Canada's Growth and Product leads, as well as with central teams, to shape the market strategy, go-to-market approach, and long-term plan, with the aim of delivering an exceptional, locally relevant experience for Canadian customers.
This is a hands-on leadership role for an exceptional operator who is committed to winning with integrity, building a strong brand, developing a high-performing team, and executing with excellence.
You will:
Serve on Midnite’s Canada leadership team and a strategic partner to the GM, helping launch the market, steward the strategy, priorities, budget, and P&L, and ensuring cross functional plans support sustainable revenue growth, profitability, and responsible business practices.
Lead the development and delivery of the Canadian strategy, operating plan, budget, and performance review while adopting central performance standards.

Lead cross-functional alignment and execution against P&L, working closely with CA Growth, Product, Ops leads and Central teams to influence and build coherent go-to-market plans.
Maintain a clear view of performance against plan, identifying opportunities to accelerate when the business is ahead and mobilizing the team to close gaps when it is behind.
Build trusted relationships with UK central leaders while ensuring Canadian market needs are represented.
