Reporting to the Vice President of Operations & Strategic Initiatives, the General Manager of Calgary will be responsible for the development, execution, and success of some exciting initiatives at Skip . 

The successful candidate will work cross-functionally with a core ‘city squad’ of individual SMEs across all departments in the organization.

They are not afraid of failure, but see it as an opportunity to learn and adapt, seeking opportunities to test hypotheses in an effort to figure out quickly what works and what doesn’t. This individual has a growth mindset and an insatiable appetite for winning.
