Project Manager (IT) - Intermediate (Remote) JP867

Project Name: EXTERN Domain Decommission Project, Source Code Migration to GitHub and SPO Migration Projects Scope: Project 1: EXTERN Domain Decommission Project The EXTERN Domain Decommission Project is a Technology Debt Mitigation initiative focused on retiring the EXTERN Active Directory domain as an enterprise authentication service. The project transitions all dependent applications to Alberta.ca accounts, establishing a single, modern identity platform for external access to government systems. The work requires close coordination with application teams and cybersecurity stakeholders to assess existing authentication integrations, define required changes, and guide systems through readiness, development, testing, and implementation. Once all applications are transitioned, remaining EXTERN user accounts and supporting infrastructure will be fully decommissioned, reducing legacy security risk and supporting the GOAs cybersecurity strategy. Project 2: Source Code Migration to GitHub The Source Code Migration to Enterprise GitHub project is an enterprise modernization initiative to consolidate all Government of Alberta application source code into a centrally managed, secure GitHub environment. The project improves security, governance, and traceability by enabling standardized vulnerability scanning and consistent DevOps practices. The Project Manager leads repository assessments, migration planning, and execution in collaboration with application service owners, technical teams, and vendors. Migration activities are prioritized based on application risk and value, ensuring alignment with the Technology Debt Mitigation program and enterprise DevOps security standards. Project 3: SPO Migration Project The SharePoint 2016 to SharePoint Online Migration Project modernizes the GOAs enterprise content management platform by moving more than 18,000 legacy SharePoint sites to Microsofts cloud based SharePoint Online service. The initiative addresses end of support risks, improves collaboration and accessibility, and reduces reliance on aging on premises infrastructure. The project includes remediation of legacy content, workflows, and permissions, as well as re establishing external access using Azure AD guest accounts in alignment with the EXTERN domain decommissioning.
