BACKGROUND
Bond Consulting Group, celebrating 20 years in business, is the largest independent SR&ED-only firm in Canada, currently experiencing exponential growth. We need to expand our management team. SR&ED experience would be a professional asset, but not an absolute requisite. We'd prefer to entertain candidates with experience in professional services, accounting, legal, medical or health, engineering, communications, or other sophisticated or technical industries.
This is a hands-on role, with our head office in Central Etobicoke. This is NOT a remote role. We are relocating to larger offices near the airport this year.
