Vantage is looking for a Technical Project Manager with expertise in software to own delivery timelines for the technology projects we run with our retailer clients. You will work closely with engineering, product, solutions architecture, and account management to drive projects from kickoff to launch, keep every date visible in Jira, and push back early and clearly when work starts to slip. You need to know our systems and Jira inside and out, and to be the person who keeps delivery honest, on schedule and well communicated to clients and senior management. Own delivery timelines for software, integration and platform projects at our retailer clients, and keep plans, milestones and dependencies current in our project management software. Run the delivery cadence with engineering, product and SA: sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, release planning, UAT and go-live readiness. Manage cross-team and third‑party dependencies, including client‑side technical work, and hold each owner accountable for dates and deliverables. Own program communication: crisp status updates, risks and blockers, and well‑timed escalations to senior management. Manage change requests against the agreed scope and flag scope, timeline and resourcing trade‑offs to leadership. Define and share project management best practices across Vantage, including Jira standards, RAID and status reporting, and release processes. Run post‑launch and post‑release retrospectives to create new efficiencies and a culture of continuous improvement. Travel, domestic and international, up to 25% of the time. Proven experience managing software or technology projects with engineering teams, ideally at a software, SaaS or at a service provider. Strong working knowledge of Agile, Scrum or hybrid delivery methods and of the software development lifecycle, including QA, UAT and release management. Solid understanding of technical systems,



APIs and integrations, enough to ask the right questions of engineers and spot risk in a plan. A track record of holding timelines: you can tell when a project is slipping, say so early, and negotiate current dates with engineers, stakeholders and clients without losing the relationship. Excellent organization, time management and communication skills, including clear written status reporting to senior management. Experience managing multiple concurrent projects across several organizations. Experience in an account management or other customer‑facing role. A proactive mindset and the ability to independently identify opportunities for process improvement. Experience in entrepreneurship or product management. PMP, CSM, SAFe or similar certification. With a global presence in North America and Asia‑Pacific, Vantage enables retailers to launch and grow their media networks through scalable technology and automated workflows, and is trusted by leading retailers like The Home Depot to power their retail media programs. Remote‑First, Based in Toronto Vantage is proudly headquartered in Toronto, but we’re a remote‑first team spread across North America (and beyond). Our flexible work philosophy means team members can thrive from wherever they do their best work—whether that’s from a home office, a local café, or while adding stamps to their passport. With a remote‑friendly setup, home office support, and annual company retreats, we stay connected, collaborative, and energized—no matter the time zone. Vantage’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vantage Analytics is fueled by the diversity of our talented employees. We promote equality and strive to provide all current and prospective employees with support and opportunities. As part of the final stages of our hiring process, all candidates will be required to successfully complete a criminal background check. #
