Job Overview

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is looking for a dynamic, strategic and results-driven professional to join our team in the role of IT Security Project Manager. Reporting to the Senior Manager Projects, this position is responsible for leading and governing end-to-end delivery of enterprise security projects across regulated environments, cloud/SaaS, IAM, third-party risk, and emerging domains (OT/post-quantum/AI governance), aligning Compliance/Legal/Security/IT stakeholders to execute audit-ready roadmaps, manage risks and dependencies, and deliver measurable outcomes on time.

Key Accountabilities

• Lead delivery of security initiatives in regulated or critical infrastructure environments (e.g., NERC CIP, SOX), ensuring scope, timelines, and deliverables align with audit and regulatory expectations.
• Establish and run project governance with Compliance, Legal, Security, IT, and business leaders—driving clear decision-making, dependency management, and consistent executive communication.
• Support delivery across cloud and SaaS environments by translating security requirements into actionable plans, milestones, and releases, ensuring solutions are implemented and adopted.
• Own the delivery of IT security initiatives aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (e.g., control improvements, vulnerability management, and incident response enhancements), coordinating teams and vendors to ensure solutions meet policy and risk requirements.
• Coordinate planning and delivery support for IT security initiatives, including select specialized areas (e.g., OT/industrial security or emerging cryptography needs), ensuring stakeholders, timelines, and risks are effectively managed.
• Support security and governance initiatives, including emerging areas such as AI use cases, by coordinating risk management activities and helping align control requirements across teams.
• Apply strong project/program management practices and security governance principles to maintain clear plans, RAID logs, reporting, and audit-ready documentation across delivery efforts.

Qualifications

• 4-Year University Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration with a specialization in Project Management, IT Security or a related discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of experience leading delivery of enterprise IT/security initiatives in regulated and/or critical infrastructure environments (e.g., NERC CIP, SOX), with experience supporting audit and compliance requirements, including scope alignment, documentation, and milestone execution.
• Experience delivering security programs in regulated and/or critical infrastructure environments (e.g., NERC CIP, SOX), including audit readiness, control alignment, and evidence management.
• Proven ability to work within cross-functional governance structures with Compliance, Legal, Security, IT, and business stakeholders, including executive communication and risk escalation.
• Experience managing security delivery across cloud platforms and SaaS environments, translating strategy into roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Experience contributing to IAM and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) initiatives, including coordinating internal teams/vendors and driving remediation through completion.
• Relevant certifications such as PMP, CISSP, CISM, or CISA (or equivalent experience) are an asset; exposure to areas such as OT/industrial security, AI governance, or other emerging domains is a plus.
