About us

Broadsign is a growing software company with a mission to make buying, selling, and delivering out-of-home media easier than ever. Our software is operated by some of the most successful out-of-home businesses and powers impactful, compelling campaigns seen across the world.

About the role

The Project Management Lead is a high-impact leadership role designed for a "PM Guru" who balances strategic organizational design with a "hands-on" approach to execution. You will be responsible for the end-to-end success of all Broadsign projects - spanning internal strategic initiatives, cross-departmental process improvements, and high-stakes external customer deliveries.

As a Lead, you won't just oversee a department; you will define the "Broadsign Way" of project management. You will mentor a talented team, while personally managing critical projects. Your goal is to move the needle from "Excellence as an ideal" to "Excellence as a service" by building predictable, scalable, and efficient delivery frameworks that empower our global teams.

What to expect

Key responsibilities :

Strategic Leadership & Change Management

• Build the Playbook: Design and implement a centralized Project Management methodology and practice that balances rigor with the agility needed in a growing SaaS environment.
• Drive Organizational Change: Act as a catalyst for "better ways of working," equipping the company with tools and methodologies to manage change more effectively and predictably.
• Mentor & Scale: Lead, mentor, and develop the PM team, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Project Execution & Operational Excellence

• Full-Cycle Project Management: Directly manage a portfolio of the company's most complex projects (internal and customer-facing) from inception to completion.
• Process Engineering: Relentlessly eliminate waste by identifying bottlenecks in current project flows and implementing structured, repeatable processes for the entire organization.
• Customer Delivery Strategy: Partner with the Services and Sales teams to ensure external customer projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with the high quality Broadsign is known for.

Governance & Accountability

• Standards & Frameworks: Establish standardized reporting, KPIs, and project health metrics to provide the C-suite with clear visibility into portfolio execution.
• Risk Mitigation: Plan scientifically for uncertainty, ensuring potential risks in both internal roadmaps and customer integrations are identified and mitigated early.
• Communication: Provide "one source of truth" reporting to the executive team on project health and risks.

What you need to perform in this job

• The Guru Mindset: 8+ years of progressive experience in Project Management, with at least 2-3 years in a leadership role within a SaaS or high-tech environment.
• Certification: PMP, Prince2, or CSM preferred, but we value a track record of successful delivery over perfunctory certifications.
• Hands-on Capability: You are a practitioner at heart. You are comfortable jumping into the weeds of a project while simultaneously maintaining a 30,000-foot view of the global portfolio.
• Change Management Expertise: Proven track record of successfully leading organizations through process transformations and cultural shifts.
• Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex project statuses into "executive-ready" insights for leadership and clear, motivational guidance for your team.
• M&A Background: Proven experience managing post-merger integrations within the tech/SaaS sector  is an asset, but not required

What we bring to the table

• Wellness: $500 annual Wellness fund for mental/physical health and office-related expenses.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Complete company insurance plan (health, dental, vision, travel) effective from day one (100% employer-paid). $500 annual Health Care Savings Account (HCSA).
• Paid Time Off: 4 weeks vacation, 5 floater days, 5 sick/personal days, and 2 volunteer days.
• Retirement Savings: Group RRSP with a 50% employer matching up to 4% of your salary.
• Growth Opportunities: Training & development budget to support your journey as a PM leader.
