Who We Are
Launchpad Technologies Inc. is a global technology partner connecting top talent with high-impact projects across North America and beyond.

About the Role
Launchpad Technologies is looking for an experienced Senior Implementation Project Manager to join our Professional Services team and lead software implementation projects for international customers.

We’re particularly interested in professionals who have managed software implementations in ERP, financial systems, enterprise applications, or comparable environments. You do not need to be a Functional Consultant or configure the software yourself, but you should understand how software implementation projects work and be comfortable coordinating functional and technical teams.
