What the job involves

  • We are looking for a Project Manager on a full-time 12-month contract in Canada (EST time-zone), reporting directly to our Senior Go-To-Market Manager
  • In this role, you will be responsible for driving Certn’s project success through effective planning, execution, collaboration, risk mitigation, and analysis
  • Your ability to coordinate and manage the customer impacts of our transformational system upgrade will be crucial
  • Project Planning and Business Process Analysis:
  • Develop comprehensive project plans outlining scope, timelines, objectives, and resource requirements and dependencies
  • Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation plans
  • Coordinate and support business process analysis where specific project deliverables require further definition
  • Measure and report on project performance at regular cadences

  • Lead and motivate cross-functional project teams, fostering a collaborative and results-oriented environment
  • Effectively communicate project objectives, expectations, and progress to team members and stakeholders
  • Facilitate regular team meetings and ensure clear communication channels
  • Establish and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Effectively manage stakeholder expectations and ensure alignment with project goals
  • Communicate project updates and results to key stakeholders, sponsors, and exec team
  • Budget and Resource Management:

Our take

Certn’s platform allows people to gain fast access to background checks, from criminal records through to motor vehicle records and even credit checks. Its software allows recruiters to save time and money in the hiring process, as the standard 3-4 days for completing background checks is reduced to hours.

Currently, the solution is used by over 2,800 enterprises, including leading employers, staffing firms and property management companies. However, it is not the only player using AI to conduct background checks; Checkr, GoodHire, and HireRight are some of the leading companies that are solving this years-old problem in different parts of the world, and Certn will have to work hard to stand out in this crowded space.

The company looks poised for a period of rapid international expansion over the next few years thanks to considerable funding amounting to $115 million and the acquisition of UK-based background check provider Credence and Australian Intercheck, as well as the astute 2021 hiring of CTO Susan Davis (ex-VP of Engineering at Dessa and Xtiva Financial Systems).
