Position summary

Huron Canada is looking for a Senior Project Manager to own overall client and project success on Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management implementations for manufacturing clients, with a strong preference for automotive industry background. The primary mandate is program leadership: governance, schedule and budget discipline, risk management, and the relationship‑building skill to earn trust with client executives and shop‑floor stakeholders alike, across complex, multi-workstream programs that combine core ERP implementation with AI‑assisted capabilities. Direct functional or technical experience with Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management is a valued bonus that helps this person direct delivery teams more effectively, but it is not the core of the role: this is a program leadership and client outcomes position, not a hands‑on functional or technical build role. This is a client‑site role based in the Toronto, Ontario area, and requires Canadian citizenship.

• Executive reporting Run steering committee and executive status reporting, translating technical progress into business terms.
• AI‑assisted implementation Incorporate AI‑assisted implementation tools and Copilot capabilities into delivery workstreams to accelerate configuration, testing, data migration, and documentation.

• Team and stakeholder leadership
  • Global team leadership. Lead multinational project teams across Canada, the United States, and Huron's global delivery centers, coordinating across time zones and cultures.
