Full Job Description
We're looking for an Acumatica Project Manager who brings structure, calm, and genuine care to every project. You'll guide clients and internal teams from kickoff to go-live, keeping everyone aligned, informed, and confident. Your superpower is emotional ownership - you don't just manage projects, you champion them.

If you love collaboration, clear communication, and helping clients feel supported every step of the way, you'll thrive here.

The Senior Project Manager will lead the delivery of project management consulting services for our Acumatica clients. Working closely with internal clients and external clients, you will deliver a full range of services, such as internal project reporting and administration, resource management, client management, project budgeting/accounting/finance, project planning, project control and project communication.

Ideal candidates will have extensive technical experience in Acumatica (managed prior Acumatica implementations).

As a Senior Technical Project Leader, you will work on:

Lead Projects with Confidence & Clarity
  • Own the full project lifecycle - planning, execution, delivery, and post-go-live support
  • Keep projects on track using scope control, clear timelines, and proactive communication
  • Track progress, risks, budget, and key metrics without drowning the team in admin
  • Flag issues early and create practical, team-aligned contingency plans


Be the Client's Trusted Guide
  • Build strong, positive relationships with client stakeholders
  • Set expectations early and reinforce them throughout the project
  • Translate technical details into clear, human-friendly updates
  • Keep clients informed, calm, and confident - even when things get messy
  • Ensure clients feel heard, supported, and delighted with the final outcome


Support and Coordinate Your Team
  • Partner with consultants, developers, and leadership to keep work flowing smoothly
  • Assign roles and responsibilities based on skills, availability, and project needs
  • Collaborate with internal and external resources to deliver high-quality results
  • Foster a team culture of transparency, accountability, and shared success


Drive Project Financial Health
  • Monitor budget, burn rate, and earned value with a practical, business-minded approach
  • Manage change orders with clarity and confidence
  • Ensure accurate invoicing, revenue recognition, and timely follow-ups
  • Keep leadership informed with simple, meaningful project reporting


Communicate Like a Pro
  • Provide clear updates on progress, risks, decisions, and next steps
  • Create simple, effective project documentation when needed
  • Ensure all stakeholders - internal and external - always know what's happening
  • Use sound judgment to escalate issues at the right time, in the right way


What You Bring
  • Experience managing ERP projects, ideally with Acumatica
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • A calm, organized, proactive approach to problem-solving
  • Ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing sight of the big picture
  • Emotional ownership - you care deeply about delivering a great client experience
  • A collaborative mindset and a genuine desire to help your team succeed


Why You'll Love Working With Us
  • A supportive, collaborative team that values people over ego
  • Projects that challenge you without burning you out
  • Leadership that listens, trusts, and empowers
  • A culture built on transparency, kindness, and continuous improvement


As our ideal candidate, you have:
  • 4+ years of experience in a business leadership position experience.
  • Bachelor's degree required. Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders
  • Demonstrated experience in leading and managing complex projects that are strategic in nature and national in scope
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, facilitation and presentation skills
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and with minimal supervision
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a small team setting.
  • Good computer skills, proficient with MS office applications
  • Knowledge of workforce strategies developed in other sectors is an asset
  • Knowledge of labor force strategies would be an asset
  • Excellent organizational skills with demonstrated ability to execute projects on time and on budget.
