Head of Operations (Remote, Part Time)

7-12 hours / weekly
Negotiable Term
HEAD OF OPERATIONS (VOLUNTEER)
Organization: Right to Live Canada
Location: Remote (Canada-wide)
Time Commitment: 7 - 12 hours per week (Flexible)

------ About Right to Live Canada
Right to Live is a start-up non-profit corporation creating the first solution infrastructure to offer competitive, viable alternatives to MAiD that consist of a living future. We are building a referable resource for MAiD assessors and care teams to address Economic Euthanasia (cases where an alternative was possible but not achieved) and Economic Disability Euthanasia (applications driven by the systemic poverty present in Canadian disability support programs).

------ THE ROLE

Right to Live Canada is seeking a Volunteer Head of Operations to design, build,
and run the internal structure of the organization. This role exists because the
work has reached a level of complexity that cannot be carried by a single
individual.

The Head of Operations works directly with the Founder / Executive Director. The
operating model is simple: priorities and objectives are set at the executive
level; the Head of Operations designs the structure required to execute them and
then runs that structure. This includes defining roles, forming teams,
establishing workflows, tracking progress, and ensuring projects continue moving
forward without constant executive intervention.

The Head of Operations is responsible for holding operational context -- knowing
what exists, what is active, what is stalled, and what requires intervention.
This includes monitoring volunteer performance, replacing non-performing
contributors when necessary, and keeping work aligned with agreed objectives.

------ RESPONSIBILITIES

--- Design and maintain the internal operating structure of the organization,
    including roles, teams, and active projects
--- Translate executive priorities into executable project structures and
    workflows
--- Stand up new initiatives by defining scope, staffing needs, timelines, and
    coordination methods
--- Track project progress across the organization and intervene when work stalls
--- Create and maintain a centralized operational dashboard using cloud-based
    tools that provides leadership with clear, real-time visibility into
    projects, roles, and status
--- Manage volunteer performance, including onboarding, replacement, and
    offboarding when necessary
--- Maintain operational visibility so leadership does not need to carry
    day-to-day execution context
--- Ensure work produced is usable, complete, and aligned with agreed objectives
--- Create and maintain lightweight systems for documentation, handoffs, and
    continuity

------ WHO THIS IS FOR

This role is for someone who is comfortable building structure where none exists
and operating without constant oversight. The Head of Operations should be able
to take a loosely defined objective and turn it into an organized, functioning
system.

This role is a good fit for someone who:

--- Has experience in operations, program management, project management, or
    organizational execution
--- Thinks naturally in systems, dependencies, and workflows
--- Is comfortable coordinating people and replacing contributors who are not
    performing
--- Can hold operational context across multiple parallel initiatives
--- Prefers responsibility and clarity over formal authority or titles
--- Is reliable, self-directed, and capable of sustained follow-through

Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
--- Executive-level operating experience building an organization from scratch
--- Direct collaboration with the Founder / Executive Director
--- Portfolio-grade responsibility over real systems, not theory or advocacy
--- LinkedIn skill endorsements reflecting verified operational contributions
--- Formal letter of reference upon successful completion
--- High-impact work tied to nationally significant, life-affecting outcomes
