Senior Project Manager (108-10SMGT-01)

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. In a fixed fee model, scope discipline is the job.
This is a high ownership role in a small company.

Requirements

• Manage multiple projects from kickoff to handoff with minimal supervision

• Build project plans covering scope, milestones, resources, and budget, aligned to SOW deliverables

• Protect fixed fee scope: identify changes early, negotiate discrepancies with customers, and drive prioritization decisions

• Coordinate delivery across time zones between customers and their engineering team in Brazil and Canada

• Own project governance, including status reporting, sprint reviews, and risk and issue management. Know the difference between a risk and an issue, and when to escalate

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

• Track milestones and documentation for AWS funded engagements

• 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

• Help build the client’s delivery practice: templates, processes, and how they use AI in project management

What You Bring

• +5 years of professional experience working with North American customers, including at least 3 in a client facing Project Manager role

• +2 years in a consulting or professional services environment

• Experience delivering cloud, data, or AI projects. AWS experience strongly preferred

• Experience managing distributed teams across time zones

• Forecasting and budget management on fixed fee or milestone based projects

• Comfort working across multiple project management methodologies

• Strong organization across several concurrent projects

• Clear communication with both business and technical stakeholders

• Legal authorization to work in Canada. The client cannot sponsor visas or work permits at this time

• Fluent in English

Nice to Have

• Portuguese

• Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent

• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, or willingness to obtain it within 90 days

• Familiarity with generative AI, Amazon Bedrock, data engineering, or application modernization

• Experience with AWS partner programs and funded engagements such as MAP

• Experience in an early stage company
