  • Facilitate decisions, remove roadblocks, and maintain momentum across concurrent workstreams.

Financial, Resource & Risk Management

  • Manage program and project budgets, monitoring forecasts and addressing variances.
  • Optimize resource allocation to maximize impact and delivery speed.
  • Identify, assess, and manage risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating as required.

Organizational Change & Operational Readiness

  • Partner with Organizational Change Management and operations to prepare the business for change.
  • Ensure training, communication, and transition plans support adoption and readiness.
  • Promote continuous improvement and innovation.

Mandatories:

  • Post‑secondary degree or diploma in business, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Project management certification (e.g., PMP®, PRINCE2, PMI‑ACP).
  • 10+ years of project management experience, including 5+ years in program management.
  • Proven delivery of complex business and technology solutions from initiation through transition to operations.
  • Experience managing programs in remote and hybrid environments with cross‑functional business, IT, and vendor teams.
  • Strong understanding of the SDLC.
  • Hands‑on experience with Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery approaches.
  • Demonstrated vendor management experience.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
  • Proven leadership, mentoring, and team‑building capabilities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
