Top Companies Hiring for Operations Jobs in Montreal (Oct 2026)

You've been sending applications for operations jobs in Montreal and getting nothing back, and the real problem might be that you're aiming at the wrong employers or pitching at the wrong level. Here's the picture from the JobRise live jobs feed, dated 14 October 2026. There are 21 open operations roles in Montreal right now, 16 posted in the last 30 days, and 8 in the last 7 days alone.

That pace matters. A list you built in September is already stale.

One caveat before you read on: these are counts of open listings on one feed, not a market survey, so treat them as a snapshot of where to look rather than the full truth about who's hiring in the city.

How Montreal compares with the country#

Montreal holds 21 of the 194 open Operations listings across Canada. That's roughly one in nine of the national total, which is a solid share for a single city and worth knowing before you start looking at remote roles.

For wider context, Montreal has 266 open listings across all categories on the same feed. Operations is a meaningful slice of local demand, but it's nowhere near the whole market if you're flexible on function. The JobRise Hiring Report: Canada puts these city numbers next to national trends if you want the bigger frame.

Worth a look.

The companies ranked by open listings#

Eight employers account for all 21 listings. Names are exactly as they appear on the postings, and some are recruiters or staffing firms rather than end employers.

1. Ubisoft, 9 open listings
2. Genetec, 4
3. Lyft, 3
4. Stranger Soccer, 1
5. Eminent Valet, 1
6. Mila - Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle, 1
7. Aviso Wealth, 1
8. ÉPIK COLLECTION, 1

Two names hold 13 of the 21 roles. Apply to the top three and you cover 16 listings. That's the whole market, basically.

Titles are the only reliable read on the work here. Ubisoft lists "Scientifique des données - Intelligence artificielle générative" and "Administrative and Resilience Coordinator (March Of Giants)", while Genetec lists "Spécialiste de la gestion des commandes / Fulfillment Specialist", so the two biggest employers are hiring across very different functions.

Lyft shows 3 listings without titles in this slice. Stranger Soccer lists "License Owner & Operator, Montreal", and Eminent Valet lists "Valet Voiturier | Valet driver (Sur appel/On-call)".

Mila - Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle lists "Conseiller.ère médias sociaux et production vidéo, Mila Ventures". Aviso Wealth lists "Bilingual Supervisor, Transfers". ÉPIK COLLECTION lists "Technicien(ne) en maintenance".

Job types skew hard to permanent work: 20 full-time listings and 1 contract. No listing in this slice shows a salary, and none of the 21 titles look entry-level. There are 0 intern, graduate, junior, or trainee roles here.

Plan your pitch at the experienced level.

How to target each type of employer#

Big tech employers like Ubisoft and Genetec post in volume and hire for specific functions, so mirror the language of the exact posting and put your matching experience in the first third of your resume. If the title is bilingual, apply bilingual. If it names a system or a process, name your experience with it.

Single-listing employers play differently. One opening means one hire and a pile of applicants, so a generic application disappears fast and a short, specific note to the hiring manager is what gets read.

Apply anyway.

Operator-style and service roles, like the Stranger Soccer license listing or the Eminent Valet on-call driver posting, care about reliability and availability more than polish. Say when you can work and how fast you can start. That's the whole pitch.

Here's a before-and-after bullet for a fulfilment-type role like the Genetec posting.

Before: "Responsible for order management and inventory tasks."

After: "Managed 200-plus monthly orders end to end, cut fulfilment errors by checking every shipment against the packing list, and trained two new coordinators on the order system."

The second version names volume, method, and outcome. Numbers you can defend beat adjectives every time.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Referrals move applications forward faster than cold submissions do, and in a market this small, one person putting your name in front of a hiring manager can save you weeks of silence. Use these two scripts and edit the brackets.

Referral ask, to someone you know at the employer:

"Hi [Name], hope you're well. I saw [Company] has an opening for [exact job title] and it lines up with my background in [your function]. Would you be comfortable passing my resume along, or pointing me to the right person on the team? Happy to send a short summary you can forward. Thanks either way."

Cold note, to a hiring manager or team lead you don't know:

"Hi [Name], I'm applying for the [exact job title] role and wanted to introduce myself directly. I've spent [X years] in [your function], most recently [one concrete result]. I know your time is short, so in one line: [what you'd fix or run for them in the first 90 days]. Resume attached. Thanks for reading."

Keep both under 100 words. Send them on LinkedIn or by email, then apply through the posting anyway. The note supplements the application. It doesn't replace it.

Your 7-step plan#

1. Pull the live list today. Start from the current operations postings in Montreal and note the exact titles and employers.
2. Sort by volume. Apply to Ubisoft and Genetec first, since together they hold 13 listings, then Lyft with 3.
3. Match each title word for word. Rewrite your summary and top three bullets for every single posting, using the posting's own nouns.
4. Find one person at each target. Search LinkedIn for the team or function, then send the referral or cold script above.
5. Check the employer before you write. The free company insights tool gives you context on the company so your note reads like you did your homework.
6. Track everything. Keep a simple sheet with company, title, date applied, contact name, and last follow-up date. Follow up once after five business days.
7. Widen the net after two weeks. If nothing bites, look at the 266 Montreal listings across all categories and consider adjacent functions, or check the 194 national operations listings for remote roles.

One blunt note on timing. With 8 new listings in the last week, the feed is moving fast and a role you bookmark today may be gone in ten days, so shorten the gap between seeing a job and applying to it.

FAQ#

Are these the only companies hiring for operations jobs in Montreal?

No. The list covers the 21 open operations listings on the JobRise feed as of 14 October 2026. Other employers hire outside this feed or fill roles without posting them publicly.

Why do some entries look like recruiters or staffing firms?

Because some listings come from recruiters or staffing firms rather than end employers. The company name shown is the name on the listing, so read each posting carefully to see who you'd actually work for.

Do any of these operations roles in Montreal show a salary?

None of the 21 listings in this snapshot show a salary. For operations work in Canada, pay varies widely by seniority and industry, so check the current official wage data and ask about range early in the process.

Should I apply if I am early in my career?

You can, but set expectations. This snapshot has 0 titles that look like intern, graduate, junior, or trainee roles, so you'll be competing against experienced candidates and should pitch transferable results hard.

How often should I check for new operations listings?

Check every few days. This feed added 8 listings in the last 7 days and 16 in the last 30, so waiting a full month between searches means you miss roles before you ever see them.
