Team Coordinator (Chief Acrobat) - Onsite Montreal

About the role

Nascent is looking for a Team Coordinator (also called Chief Acrobat) to work onsite in Montreal. The role is the operational backbone of a high-output team, covering recruiting and onboarding, special projects without a playbook, and whatever keeps a fast-moving trading firm running. It is a hands-on, AI-native position that partners directly with senior leaders and suits a fast learner with 3-5 years of experience.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end coordination of recruiting on the operations side: sourcing, scheduling, candidate communication, pipeline tracking and hiring manager support.
• Drive special projects from an ambiguous ask to a completed deliverable, including scoping, planning and stakeholder coordination.
• Serve as the main point of contact and enabler for the team lead, clearing blockers and keeping things on track.
• Use AI tools daily to draft communications, summarize research, build templates and automate repetitive work.
• Create and maintain operational documentation, trackers and lightweight systems.
• Coordinate across teams so information flows, deadlines are visible and stakeholders stay aligned.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and build trust as a reliable, people-first operator.

Required profile

• 3-5 years of professional experience in operations, project management, chief of staff or a generalist role at a fast-moving startup or high-output organization.
• Track record of managing several concurrent workstreams across stakeholders.
• Experience supporting recruiting processes such as sourcing, scheduling, pipeline coordination or candidate communication.
• High ambiguity tolerance, highly organized and able to hold many threads at once.
• AI-first approach, using tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in daily work.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with a genuine interest in finance and trading firms.

What we offer

• Competitive total compensation with strong bonus upside tied to performance.
• Hardware and home-office stipend, plus conference and learning budgets.
• Health benefits (medical, dental, vision), life insurance and retirement matching.
• Open vacation policy, flexible hours and location, and 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave with supported return to work.
