Project Manager – SaaS Implementations

At Innovapptive, we are on a mission to seamlessly connect frontline workers, assets, and back-office systems to help industrial companies operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently. Trusted by the world's leading enterprises, including Indorama, Shell, Hess, ConocoPhillips, Marathon Oil, Newmont Mining, AkzoNobel, and others, Innovapptive empowers organizations to reduce downtime, enhance worker productivity, and improve safety compliance.

Headquartered in Houston, TX, with offices across India, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, we are backed by Vista Equity Partners and Tiger Global Management and supported by a strong partner network, including Deloitte, HCL, Apple, and Cognex. With a global team of over 250 employees, we are shaping the future of industrial work by driving digital transformation at scale.

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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• Global Impact: Work on impactful projects for some of the world's largest enterprises.
• Competitive Compensation: We offer a competitive base salary, performance-based bonus, and comprehensive benefits.
• Invest in You: Access to a wide range of e-learning courses and a culture of continuous learning and growth.
• Healthy & Happy: Health insurance for you and your family, paid maternity and paternity leave, and a focus on work-life balance.
• Fun & Collaborative: Join our various interest groups, including Book Reading, Toastmasters, and sports clubs, and be part of an open, innovative, and highly collaborative environment.

• Customer First: We are relentless in our pursuit of customer satisfaction.
• Innovate & Iterate: We embrace bold ideas and learn quickly from our failures.
• Act with Integrity: We are transparent, honest, and accountable in all our interactions.
• Empower People: We trust our teams and empower them to own their work and succeed.
