MoveMate is a startup based in Montreal. However, with COVID-19 situation, the majority of MoveMate’s operations are now being carried out online. That being said, MoveMate employees will also start using our office space in the near future! Thus, while we are very flexible about your chosen work location, we strongly encourage applicants to come work out of Montreal to enjoy a phenomenal Canadian experience!
With Canada beginning to roll-back restrictions, your work experience would be enriched substantially by immigrating! Our team has weekly happy hours in nearby parks that allow for all of us to develop meaningful relationships with colleagues. Additionally, many patios and tourist attractions are now open throughout the city, so you will still have the chance to explore Montreal. Sounds pretty incredible, right? To convince you all the more, we’ve decided to concoct a (non-exhaustive) list of activities you’ll have the chance to do by joining us here!
