Technical Project Manager Data Center (Remote), Pointe-Claire

Why This Role Exists

Clients need a single point of contact who actually understands hardware, not just a relationship manager who has to relay every technical question

Projects span hardware deployment, structured cabling, power/cooling, and remote hands— someone has to own the full picture

Tickets get lost between technical and commercial teams— this role closes that gap

We are scaling and need a manager who can build process while staying hands‑on with clients

Act as the primary technical point of contact for assigned client accounts throughout the project lifecycle

Lead client onboarding, scoping calls, and technical review meetings

Build long‑term relationships that reduce churn and increase account expansion

Project&Ticket Management

Own the full ticket lifecycle in Jira, ServiceNow, or equivalent ITSM platform

Create, assign, prioritize, and close tickets with clear documentation at every stage
