The Company
2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Canada Recipient & Fast 500 North America Recipient 🏆
SpryPoint is modernizing how utilities serve their communities. As a high-growth software company, we're shaking up the status quo in the utility industry with the first and only truly cloud-native customer service and operations platform purpose-built for modern utilities.
Founded by industry veterans in 2011, we've grown from a profitable startup to a rapidly scaling company of 300+ employees serving 100+ utility clients across North America and the Caribbean. Our mission is simple: utility leaders should expect more from their technology providers.
Utilities face urgent demand to replace inefficient legacy systems while managing increasing operational complexity, and evolving customer expectations. With more than a decade of experience, and a track record of successful implementations spanning water, electric, and gas utilities, SpryPoint has built a reputation as a trusted and mission-critical partner to utilities across North America.
We deliver comprehensive solutions including SpryCIS, SpryEngage, SpryMobile, and SpryWallet that modernize the entire meter-to-cash process. What sets us apart? Our "updates, not upgrades" approach, user-centric design, and unwavering focus on customer success.
Backed by strategic investment from Norwest Venture Partners since 2023, and an exciting new investment partnership from Insight Partners announced in 2026, we're accelerating our growth while staying true to our core values: lead with kindness, vision with impact, radical honesty, bold disruption, keep it simple, and execute with excellence.
Join our award-winning team in transforming an essential industry that powers communities across the Americas.
🌱 The Role
We’re looking for a Project Manager who thrives on leading complex, high-stakes delivery. You’ll own enterprise SaaS implementations for utility clients across North America and act as a strategic partner to their leadership teams from kickoff through go-live. This is a highly visible, client-facing role where you’ll navigate competing priorities, help shape how we deliver, and keep large programs on track financially and operationally.
This is a Project Manager III role, our most senior project manager level. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, and we’re looking for someone who can raise the bar for how we deliver, not just follow the playbook.
Utilities industry experience is a big plus, but we’re just as interested in the complexity and scale of the projects you’ve led.
✈️ This role involves periodic travel to client sites across the US and Canada. You’ll need to be able to travel freely between both countries.
🎯 What You'll Be Doing:
- Leading highly complex, cross-functional enterprise SaaS implementations (or a portfolio of them) using SpryPoint’s hybrid delivery methodology
- Acting as a trusted, strategic advisor to client executives, understanding their business goals and navigating complex stakeholder dynamics
- Owning project financials end to end, including budgets, revenue forecasting, effort estimation, and variance reporting to leadership
- Negotiating scope, budget changes, and high-stakes trade-offs with clients, and evaluating impact against schedules, contingencies, and acceptance criteria
- Anticipating risks early, building solid contingency plans, and managing strategic dependencies before they become problems
- Using influence without authority to keep client and internal leaders aligned to milestones and governance
- Partnering with Professional Services and Development leadership to balance workloads and allocate resources across a matrix organization with multiple concurrent projects
- Presenting to client steering committees and executive leadership, and owning the story of the project
- Helping shape our PMO standards, templates, and best practices, and supporting the growth of PM I and PM II teammates
🚀 What You Bring:
- 7+ years of enterprise project management experience, including leading complex, high-risk implementations
- Utilities industry experience (electric, water, wastewater, gas, sanitation) is strongly preferred. We’re flexible on the number of years and the industry itself if you’ve led complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise software implementations with a similar scope (think CIS, billing, ERP, asset management, or field service)
- Strong financial acumen, with a track record of owning budgets, forecasting effort and revenue, and explaining variances with confidence
- Experience across waterfall and agile methodologies; hybrid delivery experience is a big plus
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence at every level, from project teams to the C-suite
- Strong critical thinking: you’re comfortable with ambiguity, can pull together conflicting inputs, and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions
- A highly organized, detail-oriented approach with strong written and documentation skills
- Post-secondary degree or diploma, preferably in project management or business administration
- PMP or a comparable designation is strongly preferred
🌟 What Sets You Apart:
- Hands-on experience with management information systems such as CIS, WAMS, MWM, or GIS
- Experience helping define or improve PMO processes, frameworks, or delivery standards
- A history of mentoring or coaching other project managers
- Experience with web-based portfolio or project management tools
