Senior Project Manager (108-10SMGT-01)
About this role
We are hiring a Senior Project Manager to own delivery execution across our client’s Canadian engagements. You will sit between their customers and their Brazil based engineering team, and you will make sure every engagement reaches production on time, within scope, and within budget.

This is a high ownership role in a small company.
Requirements

Facilitate backlog creation with clear definitions, acceptance criteria, and estimates, and manage work in Jira

Build customer trust through reliable delivery and consistent communication, including the difficult conversations
Deliver against the customer’s business outcome, not just the letter of the SOW, and bring follow on opportunities to the commercial team
