AI-First Project Manager
Employment Type: Full-Time
Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Position Summary
We9re looking for a project manager who treats AI as a default, not an experiment: someone who wants to build a faster, smarter, more transparent delivery experience for our clients and keep improving it. We care far more about how you think and what you9ve built than how many years you9ve spent running projects the traditional way.
Position Responsibilities
- Own the delivery of client projects end to end - scope, schedule, budget, risks, and communication.
- Use AI to run the mechanics of project management: prioritizing backlogs, building and re-forecasting schedules, monitoring project health, and generating status reporting.
- Keep clients informed with clear, proactive updates, and surface issues before they become problems.
- Build reusable AI workflows, prompts, and automations that improve how the whole delivery team works - not just your own projects.
- Continuously evaluate new AI tools and capabilities, test them against real delivery problems, and bring forward what works.
- Collaborate closely with architects, consultants, account managers, and client stakeholders.
- Document and share what you learn so the practice gets better with every project.
- Help shape what AI-first project management looks like at Elantis.
Skills & Qualifications
- Demonstrated hands-on use of AI tools in real work - Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, automation platforms, or similar. You should be able to show us what you9ve built and how it changed the way you work.
- Strong organizational skills, follow-through, and comfort owning timelines, commitments, and details.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the confidence to work directly with clients.
- A continuous improvement mindset and genuine drive to find a better way - we don9t want to be stuck doing things the way they have always been done.
- Formal project management experience and certifications (PMP, CSM, PMI-ACP) are welcome but not required. We are open to candidates from non-traditional backgrounds who bring strong AI fluency, judgement, and initiative.
- Exposure to Microsoft 365, Teams, Planner, Project, Power Platform, or Copilot is considered an asset.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to build things that don9t exist yet in a small, fast-moving consulting environment.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and bonus structure
- Paid vacation and holiday program designed to support work-life balance
- Flexible hybrid work arrangements
- Paid mobility/cell phone support
- Competitive health benefits, fully paid by Elantis
- Mentorship and strong opportunities for career growth and advancement
