This role is intended for Project Managers with experience delivering enterprise software or SaaS implementations.
Applicants whose project management experience is primarily in construction, manufacturing, marketing, events, healthcare operations, or other non-software industries are unlikely to be a fit.
Nakisa is a global leader in AI-powered enterprise software for Human Resources, Financial Management, and Commercial Real Estate (CRE). We are building the next wave of enterprise applications with Nakisa AI. Our products use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with secure API integrations to large language models. Customer data stays private and auditable, and we never use client data to train third-party models. This privacy-first design gives enterprises trustworthy AI they can run in production.
What sets us apart is a single platform that connects these functions on shared data models, a focus on high-stakes, compliance-heavy workflows, and a culture anchored in Fairness, Integrity, Service, and Humility. Join us to ship reliable, privacy-first AI at global scale.
As a SaaS Implementation Project Manager, you will be responsible for management, supervision, and implementation of Nakisa SaaS solutions for our clients. Leading the project from conceptualization through implementation, you will manage and supervise project teams and internal cross-functional project teams to deliver solution offerings that meet or exceed customer expectations. The Project Manager will be responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered on time, on schedule and on budget while fostering positive project team dynamics.
Taking full ownership of client-facing implementation projects - from the first kickoff call to final handoff - and working cross-functionally to deliver on time, on budget, and above expectations, in this role you will:
Serve as the primary client contact during onboarding.
Ensure smooth delivery of onboarding and migration projects per Nakisa’s methodology.
Manage scope, schedule, risks, issues, and budgets, invoking change requests when needed.
Oversee project activities, reporting, and invoicing.
Lead cross-functional teams, ensuring timely, quality outcomes.
Facilitate project transitions to support and submit weekly reports.
Contribute to improving project management processes.
We’re looking for a seasoned PM who combines technical fluency with strong communication skills - someone equally comfortable in a client boardroom and navigating complex implementation projects.
University degree in BA, MIS, Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
Minimum 3–5 years of professional Project Management experience as a Project Manager.
Excellent communication skills in English and French, including a high degree of comfort interacting at C-Level internally and externally.
Software industry experience, preferably in delivering SaaS Solutions.
Experience managing multiple international projects in complex environments at the same time.
Fluency in English is required because this role serves as the primary point of contact for Nakisa's global client base, requiring consistent written and verbal communication with enterprise clients, project stakeholders, and cross-functional teams located outside Quebec.
Teams, customers, and partners are distributed internationally.
Knowledge of SAP FICO
Knowledge/Certification of AWS/Azure
For an experienced SaaS PM, Nakisa offers something most enterprise software companies can’t: the combination of meaningful product complexity,
a tight-knit team, and real ownership.
End-to-end project ownership - you won’t be managing a sub-workstream on a team of 40 PMs. You’ll own your projects from kickoff to close.
Meaningful domain complexity at the intersection of financial technology, lease accounting, and AI-powered SaaS - work with real regulatory and business weight.
A bilingual, international environment with a genuinely team-oriented culture recognized among Canada’s top employers.
Hybrid work flexibility based out of our Montreal headquarters.
Hybrid work (1–2 days in our downtown Montréal office).
Starting at 3 weeks’ vacation, a paid week off at year end, an extra paid summer day off, personal and volunteer days, and generous sick leave.
Comprehensive health, dental, and life insurance including telemedicine from day one.
Free gym access in our downtown office building and half-price Bixi membership.
Social perks: Regular events to unwind with colleagues such as game nights, summer picnic, holiday party, excursions, and more.
Mentorship, education assistance (80% up to $1,500 per year) and reimbursement of role-relevant professional dues.
Visa or relocation: not available.
Hiring process: recruiter conversation, hiring manager interview, and a panel or skills assessment depending on the role.
AI-assisted recruitment: Nakisa uses AI-assisted tools, including BrightHire and Greenhouse, throughout our recruitment process. Our first-round interview is conducted by an AI interviewer (BrightHire), and later interviews with our team are recorded and transcribed to support accurate note-taking. AI-generated outputs, including transcripts, summaries, and structured scoring aids, support our hiring team and are reviewed by people.
