Work Location This role is open to candidates anywhere in Canada, with a preference for those in the EST time zone. Due to the nature of the role, this team participates in an on-call rotation. This is a remote position, with the option to work from any of our offices across the country. Why We Are Hiring We're building a new service delivery team to support major B2B partnerships – this is a ground-floor opportunity to join a team of 3, building the function from scratch, reporting to the Director of Service Delivery.

Over the next several months, the team will design and build the framework, tooling, and processes that our service runs on – everything from incident and change management to SLA reporting – before we go live. This is a build-then-operate role. The early months are about creating the playbook from scratch; once we go live, the team shifts into running and refining what we've built. This is for people who'd rather build the system than inherit one. Our current tech stack includes Datadog, Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), incident.io, and GCP. What You'll Be Doing

Build and execute the operational framework for incident management, change management, and SLA reporting – the structure our service runs on

Develop problem management practices as patterns emerge from incident management, so recurring issues get solved at the root

Own SLA reporting end-to-end – from data pipeline design to the monthly report that lands in front of enterprise partners

Act as the operational face of nesto to enterprise partners – running incident bridges, presenting SLA reports, defending change decisions

Use AI as a core part of how you work – drafting runbooks, analyzing incident patterns, generating reports, building internal tooling. We expect this to be a force multiplier, not an occasional aid.

Participate in an on-call rotation to keep the service reliable

What Success Looks Like

By our launch milestone: The incident management, change management, and SLA reporting frameworks are built, documented, and validated with our launch partner. You've run tabletop exercises and dry runs, and the team is ready to operate under contractual SLAs from day one.

6 Months Post-Go-Live: We're running the operation you built, refining it with real incident and change data. Problem management practices are emerging from patterns. You're presenting monthly SLA reports to enterprise partners with confidence.

What You Bring

8+ years of relevant experience, with at least 3 years specifically in service delivery

Hands-on expertise across incident, change, and problem management, plus SLA reporting – you’ve owned these, not just participated

Experience operating under a contractual SLA with financial penalties – not just internal targets

A balance of technical depth (SRE-style) and process design – you can read a system architecture diagram and write the runbook for it

Client-facing SaaS experience – comfortable presenting to, negotiating with, and pushing back on enterprise customers

Strong, assertive communication – you can hold the line in a difficult client conversation without escalating it

Nice-to-Have

Experience in a regulated, compliance-heavy industry (banking, fintech, insurance, healthcare).

Familiarity with our stack: Datadog, Atlassian suite, incident.io

Background in SRE, sysadmin, technical account management, or business analysis.

Track record of using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, custom agents) to ship operational work faster – not just experimentation

ITIL certification or equivalent grounding in service management framework

Bilingual in French and English

This Role Might Be for You If

You're energized by building service delivery processes from scratch and thrive when there's no playbook to follow.

You're highly organized and process-oriented, and you know how to turn contracts and frameworks into reliable, repeatable operations

You stay steady and adaptable when scope is still taking shape and things need to be figured out as you go

You work independently and take ownership – you don't need someone checking in every two hours

You bring a design-minded approach to building new solutions

You Shouldn't Apply If

You need a fully defined, stable environment to do your best work – this…
