About SmartUi
At SmartUi, we believe that technology should make life easier—not more complicated. We specialise in Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), helping businesses across the construction industry eliminate manual document handling, streamline processes, and build high-performing finance teams.
Our solutions are built on world-class platforms like ABBYY FlexiCapture, and we've successfully implemented automation for hundreds of users across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.
In March 2025, we were proud to be named Australia's Best IT Business at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards—an incredible milestone that recognises the impact we're making not only as a technology provider, but as a true partner in business transformation.
As we continue to grow internationally, we're now looking to expand our delivery team into North America. We're hiring a Project Manager based in Canada to support our growing client base and provide strong delivery continuity across time zones. This is a rare opportunity to join an award-winning, values-driven company making real change in a vital industry.
The Role
As Project Manager, you'll be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of automation solutions built on our ABBYY FlexiCapture platform. You'll manage multiple projects at once—each with clear scope, tight timelines (3–6 weeks), and a highly collaborative team.
You'll work closely with our delivery, solution engineering, and customer success teams, while acting as the primary point of contact for clients throughout implementation.
This is not a technical role, but you will be expected to understand the key components of our document automation platform, confidently manage projects, and ensure delivery excellence from kick-off through to go-live.
You'll be joining a remote-first, globally distributed team with a strong culture of support, transparency, and accountability.
