• Define scope, delivery approach, and success criteria, translating business cases into clear, actionable delivery plans tied to defined benefits.
• Manage trade-offs across scope, cost, timelines, and risk to support informed decision making.
• Partner, influence and align senior leaders, including facilitating governance and steering committee discussions to drive alignment and decisions.
• Lead project governance, including executive reporting, risk escalation, and decision tracking and performance visibility.
• Partner with change management to support successful implementation and adoption, and manage delivery risks related to stakeholder alignment and readiness.
• Ensure value-driven program and project delivery by aligning to business-defined benefits and supporting tracking and reporting.
• Provide clear and insightful reporting on project performance, giving leaders visibility into progress and realized value.

Desired Education and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in business, public administration, health sciences, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, training and experience may be considered. Project management certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2) is preferred.
• 10+ years leading complex, cross-functional business or operational initiatives at the enterprise level.
• Experience delivering projects involving process change, policy, regulatory implementation, or organizational transformation, including initiatives with both business and technology components.
• Experience working in regulated environments such as healthcare, public sector, or life sciences.
• Proven ability to influence and align senior stakeholders with competing priorities within formal governance structures in ambiguous or evolving environments.
• Experience managing delivery across multiple business units without direct authority.
• Experience working within a centralized PMO or enterprise portfolio environment.

What We Offer You

• 4 weeks’ vacation for regular full-time employees.
• Pay-in-lieu of benefits and vacation for temporary full-time employees during the first year of employment, with eligibility for benefits and vacation enrolment after one year of service.
• Comprehensive group health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family (regular full-time employees).
