 About the Client
 
 
 A growing Canadian restaurant group expanding its portfolio of new builds and fit-outs across multiple cities. They prioritize fast, consistent execution, strong vendor relationships, and tight cost controls during build and procurement phases. This role supports their expansion by offloading time‑consuming sourcing, vendor coordination and daily inbox work so leadership can focus on higher‑value tasks.
 
 
 
 Why does this role exist?
 
 
 This position is being hired to reduce leadership&rsquo;s operational load by managing procurement and vendor interactions, handling a shared inbox, and coordinating contractors and permitting across projects. The VA will accelerate product sourcing and quotation, take ownership of vendor follow-ups and records, and launch initial recruiting tasks so the client can focus on strategic growth and store rollouts. The objective is measurable: cut email/administrative time, deliver timely procurement recommendations, and maintain organized project records.
