About Boast

Boast is redefining how companies unlock R&D funding, turning a complex, manual, and audit-prone process into a streamlined, scalable engine for growth. By combining deep technical and R&D tax expertise with purpose-built AI, Boast helps companies across Canada and the U.S. unlock critical funding with confidence so they can focus on building and growing.

At Boast, you have the opportunity to do meaningful, high-impact work without operating in a rigid structure. You are trusted to take ownership, work directly with interesting clients, and contribute to how solutions are built and delivered. Problems are complex, the work is collaborative, and the pace is fast, which creates an environment where you can expand beyond a single specialty, build real judgment, and see the direct impact of your work. For those who want responsibility, visibility, and the ability to influence outcomes, let's talk!

About the Role

As a Technical Solutions Manager you'll help transform complex technical and financial information into high-quality R&D tax credit claims for companies across Canada and the U.S.

You’ll work directly with technical and R&D teams to understand the work they’re doing, identify eligible R&D activities, and translate complex projects into clear, defensible claim narratives. You’ll also help quantify eligible spend by reviewing payroll data, contractor costs, financial documentation, and supporting materials through Boast’s platform and delivery process.

This is a highly collaborative, detail-oriented role that combines technical curiosity, analytical thinking, and strong communication skills. You’ll balance multiple concurrent claim deliverables in a fast-paced environment while working closely with Delivery Managers, Product, and client stakeholders to ensure claims are accurate, efficient, and audit-ready.

This role is ideal for someone with a STEM, technical consulting, or R&D-related background who enjoys solving complex problems, asking thoughtful questions, and producing meaningful work that directly supports innovation and growth.

• Location: Montreal preferred; Toronto or Ottawa may be considered for strong French speakers.
• In-person collaboration: This is a hybrid role with occasional in-person work.
• Compensation: $65,000 - $85,000 annually, plus up to a 10% discretionary bonus.
• Language: Bilingual fluency in French and English is required.
