The Role

We are looking for a high-execution Project Manager to lead short-cycle SaaS implementation projects ranging from 9 to 12 weeks. This role is designed specifically for fast, focused deployments, not long-running, consulting-heavy professional services engagements.

You will manage small, cross-functional delivery teams, run multiple implementations in parallel, and be accountable for on-time, on-scope, high-quality delivery using a standardized SaaS implementation model.

This role requires someone who is hands-on, structured, decisive, and comfortable operating with urgency.

Key Responsibilities

Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery of 2–3 concurrent SaaS implementation projects with durations of 2–3 months
• Execute projects using a repeatable, template-driven SaaS implementation approach
• Drive tight scope control and prevent scope creep from derailing timelines
• Ensure rapid onboarding, configuration, testing, and go-live readiness

Team Leadership

• Lead small delivery pods (Solution Consultant, Implementation Consultant, Support/QA)
• Run daily/weekly execution cadences (standups, status reviews, risk reviews)
• Hold team members accountable to milestones and deliverables
• Escalate blockers early and drive resolution without dependency paralysis

Customer & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary point of contact for customers during implementation
• Set clear expectations on scope, timelines, roles, and success criteria
• Communicate status crisply to internal and external stakeholders
• Manage customer risks proactively to protect go-live commitments

Process & Governance

• Use lightweight but disciplined project governance (plans, RAID, status reports)
• Maintain accurate project documentation and delivery metrics
• Feed learnings back into implementation playbooks and templates
• Partner closely with Product, Support, and Customer Success for smooth handoffs

Required Qualifications

• 5–8 years of project management experience in SaaS or enterprise software implementations
• Proven experience delivering short-cycle (≤3 month) projects
• Strong understanding of SaaS delivery models (configuration over customization)
• Experience managing multiple projects in parallel
• Excellent stakeholder communication and expectation management skills
• Strong bias for action, structure, and accountability
• Comfortable working with global customers and distributed teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ERP-adjacent or enterprise platforms (SAP, EAM, MES, CMMS, etc.)
• Prior exposure to Agile / hybrid delivery models
• PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile certification (nice to have, not required)
• Experience working in high-growth SaaS environments
