Eternal Companions is a growing company specializing in funeral support for families who have lost a pet. Present in Quebec and Ontario, our mission is to provide services rooted in empathy, respect, and dignity, supporting both families and the veterinary teams we work closely with. We believe every member of our team contributes to our mission.
POSITION SUMMARY
We are looking for someone to act as the central point of operations for our Gloucester branch. This person will ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the location: guiding the team on operational priorities (without being their direct manager), serving as the link between customer service and operations, overseeing building maintenance, and producing the reports needed for rigorous case file management. The goal is not volume-driven, but rather a constant focus on quality.
The role also includes participation in certain specialized services, notably the professional and respectful handling of animal remains, in strict compliance with company procedures and with all the professionalism this type of service requires.
This position is not suited to someone looking for a well-defined routine. We are looking for someone who wants to actively contribute to the company's success and become the go-to resource for this branch: someone who knows how to roll up their sleeves, propose solutions, and finds satisfaction in a hands-on, operational role rooted in empathy.
