Job Description
Location: 4 days onsite, downtown Toronto, ON
Role Type: Full-Time Contract
Our client, a leading global financial institution, is seeking a Senior Program Manager to join their Global Security Regulatory PMO. This is not a "check-the-box" project management role. You will be responsible for the planning and end-to-end delivery of high-priority workstreams within an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program.
In this environment, success isn't just about tracking milestones; it’s about imposing structure on ambiguity, managing political friction, and maintaining delivery momentum across diverse teams with competing priorities. If you thrive under executive scrutiny and know how to turn resistance into collaboration, we want to hear from you.
Drive Large-Scale Execution: Lead high-impact workstreams within a massive regulatory program, ensuring all goals are met within approved timeframes, scope, and budget.
Navigate the Enterprise: Liaise with a wide span of business and technology partners, including external third-party vendors, to ensure seamless integration.
End-to-End Governance: Oversee the full lifecycle of program execution—from business case creation and financial forecasting to risk mitigation and regulatory mandate fulfillment.
Strategic Alignment: Integrate complex plans at the program level, refining performance metrics and ensuring workstreams remain aligned with the overarching strategic vision.
Executive Influence: Act as a bridge between technical teams and executive leadership, facilitating high-level financial reviews and program updates.
Complex Program Leadership: 5+ years of progressive experience leading multiple interdependent workstreams in a large-scale enterprise environment (Cybersecurity, Risk, Compliance, or Tech Transformation).
High Political Acuity: You are an expert at mapping stakeholder interests and reading organizational dynamics. You know how to influence leaders without relying on formal authority.
Executive-Level Communication: The ability to synthesize complex technical data into concise, decision-oriented updates for Program Directors and Executive Sponsors.
Change Leadership: You view resistance as a "normal operating condition." You are skilled in message shaping, readiness planning, and building buy-in during periods of local disruption.
Pressure-Tested Prioritization: You can distinguish "critical" from "desirable," driving clarity on minimum viable outcomes even when information is incomplete.
Conflict & Negotiation Skills: Proven ability to handle tension constructively, mediate disputes between departments, and prevent "delivery paralysis."
Cybersecurity Fluency: While you don't need to be a developer, you must speak the language of cybersecurity (Identity, Cloud, Resilience, Data Protection) to engage credibly with technical teams.
Education: Undergraduate degree in Business, IT, Engineering, or a related field.
Certifications: PMP, PgMP, Prince2, Scrum, or SAFe.
Why Apply?
This role offers the chance to lead one of the most critical regulatory mandates in the banking sector today. You will be given the autonomy to drive change and the platform to influence executive leadership at one of the world's largest financial organizations.
Requirements
7+ years of experience leading large, complex enterprise technology programs with heavy regulatory or operational requirements (with at least 2 years in a dedicated, sole program delivery role). 5+ years of experience operating within Cybersecurity, Financial Services, or highly regulated, matrixed enterprise environments.
