Job Description

The client is seeking a senior program manager capable of leading a major digital transformation program encompassing several interdependent IT and business projects, not a single project manager.

The ideal candidate will have prior experience as a strategic advisor to executive bodies, not just as an implementer reporting to a project committee. The terms "integrated governance," "strategic decision-making," and "prioritization of initiatives" indicate a portfolio management role, not direct operational delivery.

The requirement of two management coaching mandates involving the implementation of tools indicates that the candidate must have a track record of transferring management skills, not just implementation skills.

The Level 2 security clearance and the clause prohibiting participation in calls for tenders related to the Nova Program indicate a sensitive government context with exclusive mandates.


Main Responsibilities

  • Ensure integrated program governance and coherence between several interdependent initiatives
  • Support strategic arbitration and decision-making at the executive level
  • Coordinate several initiatives and multidisciplinary teams (IT and business) in parallel
  • Lead the prioritization and management of interdependencies between projects

  • Experience in a multi-site and multidisciplinary environment, including prioritization and arbitration in a context of limited capacity | Required experience | All prerequisites
  • Experience leading and mobilizing multidisciplinary teams (IT and business) | Required experience | All prerequisites

  • Less than 20 years of IT experience or less than 10 years as a project, program, or portfolio manager.
  • No experience managing projects exceeding $10 million.
  • No experience in coaching managers or implementing management processes.
