Senior Vice President - CAPSJ Consulting

CAPSJ Consulting Limited is seeking a senior leader with an active defence or security-sector background to serve as SVP. Reporting to Tiree Inc. and Canderel Group senior management, the SVP will lead CAPSJ’s delivery operations — the core of the business — and assume full accountability for business performance, growth, and the firm’s standing within Canada’s federal defence procurement ecosystem.

The Role The incoming SVP will assume operational leadership immediately, working in close collaboration with the President and founder throughout an integrated transition. As the SVP builds command of delivery operations and client relationships, they will simultaneously engage in business development and strategic growth — both tracks run in parallel from day one.

What You’Ll Do

Operations & Delivery The SVP provides senior leadership across all aspects of CAPSJ’s day-to-day operations, with direct accountability for delivery quality, team performance, and client satisfaction inside some of Canada’s most regulated project environments. This includes working across relevant government and institutional portfolios and in close coordination with project groups, construction managers, and technical security stakeholders to ensure aligned, disciplined delivery. Lead the delivery team with a hands-on, accountable style; foster a culture of precision, discretion, and mission-readiness, consistent with the security sector environments CAPSJ operates in.

Oversee all active client engagements — DND, Defence Construction Canada, PSPC, and federal civilian — ensuring delivery quality, contractual compliance, and client confidence are maintained. Serve as senior security authority on complex programmes: Construction Security Plans (CSPs), Construction Security Plans, cleared-worker management, Base Security Officer coordination, and compliance with Treasury Board Operational Security Standards. Manage the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) registration as a live operational obligation — not an administrative detail.

Ensure compliance is maintained continuously; any lapse in CGP standing is an existential risk to the business. Oversee independent consultant (IC) relationships: coordination, contracting, clearance validation, rate structures, and performance management. Manage financial operations including timesheets, billing, and reporting with rigour and accuracy.

Lead recruiting and talent development with a focus on security-cleared professionals; build the bench required to scale with Canada’s defence infrastructure investment surge. Business Development & Strategic Growth Business development runs in parallel with operations from day one. The SVP is CAPSJ’s primary external face in federal defence procurement circles and is expected to generate new relationships, win new work, and build the firm’s position in the market.

Lead the development and execution of the multi-year growth strategy, including revenue targets and market penetration in security sector markets. Identify and pursue new business opportunities in government, defence, and federal infrastructure markets.

Requirements (GCXchange, CanadaBuys, ProServices Standing Offers)

Build and maintain direct relationships with client group project managers, security leaders, and technical security stakeholders. Pursue alliances, joint ventures, and partnerships that extend CAPSJ’s capabilities into adjacent defence advisory verticals. Represent CAPSJ externally as a credible ambassador: at CADSI, federal industry events, and directly with defence client stakeholders.

Qualifications

are non-negotiable. Candidates must have direct operational experience working within complex defence, military, or security-sector environments.
