Your Opportunity:
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager who brings clarity, momentum, and results to complex initiatives. In this role, you’ll help shape how assisted living and continuing care services operate across Southern Alberta by leading projects that connect multiple sites, teams, and partners. You may be based anywhere within the South Health Corridors. You’ll work closely with operational leaders, clinicians, and corporate experts to turn priorities into action, guide teams through change, and keep everyone aligned as work progresses. This isn’t a behind the scenes PM role - you’ll facilitate conversations, navigate competing priorities, and help people adapt to new ways of working. You’ll use digital tools, project tracking platforms, and operational data to plan, monitor, and deliver complex initiatives and support informed decision making. If you build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and stay steady when things get complicated, you’ll thrive here. Most importantly, you’ll contribute to projects that directly improve how residents, families, and care teams experience continuing care every day.
