Come Home to Montreal – Trade the NYC consulting grind for Montreal’s vibrant startup ecosystem, world-class quality of life, and that perfect blend of North American business culture with European sophistication. Work from an office home base instead of living out of a suitcase.

International Growth Story – Join a Financial Times-recognised fastest-growing European company for 5 consecutive years, establishing its North American presence with Montreal as the strategic hub.
