Partnering with Sales to ensure accurate scoping and successful execution of complex implementations
Building strong executive-level client relationships while navigating high-impact projects




Providing strategic insight to senior leadership on performance, forecasting, and growth opportunities

We’re looking to connect with leaders who bring:
8–10+ years leading consulting or qualified services delivery teams
Strong experience in ERP, SaaS, SAP, or cloud-based implementations
A proven ability to lead teams, manage complexity, and drive accountability
A natural problem solver with a progressive, people-first leadership style
Experience navigating escalations and delivering in high-stakes environments
MBA, CPA, PMP
French language capability

What’s in it for you:
Total compensation in the $200K+ range (base + bonus)
Full benefits and RRSP matching
Generous vacation
A leadership mandate with real influence on strategy and outcomes
The prospect to build, shape, and elevate a national delivery function

If you’re currently leading a consulting or delivery team and feel ready for a broader mandate with more impact, this is worth a conversation. For more information or a confidential discussion, reach out to Paul Melanson at MacDonald Search Group.
