Job Title: Kitchen Operations Assistant

Introduction:

At Dancap Family Investment Office https://dancap.ca/ and the Aubrey & Marla Dan Foundation https://amdf.ca/ , we are creating more than a workplace — we are building a world-class environment centered on excellence, hospitality, professionalism, and philanthropy.
