Senior Program Manager - Aviation programs

49North · Richmond, British Columbia · $122,400 - $168,300 annually

applies via recruiting.ultipro.ca

Verdict

49North is a legitimate, established Canadian defence contractor (MDA Space subsidiary) with a reachable website and active careers section, which strongly supports legitimacy. However, the posting claims a Richmond, BC location while 49North is headquartered in Ottawa, ON—a material geographic mismatch that raises moderate fraud concern. The salary range is plausible for the role, the description is professional, and the application is through a standard ATS platform (UltiPro), but the location discrepancy warrants caution.
