About the Role :

ATCO is seeking an experienced IT Senior Program Manager to lead the replacement of the Utility’s Customer Information System (CIS) with a modern Customer Cloud Solution (CCS).

You’ll oversee a diverse project team, work closely with business leaders and external vendors, and manage the complexities that come with modernizing critical operational systems.

Success in this role requires the ability to develop clear project charters, build robust work plans, and ensure all technical and business requirements are thoroughly tracked, validated, and delivered. Your leadership will be essential as you facilitate key meetings, provide transparent updates to executives and sponsors, and keep stakeholders aligned on goals, timelines, and outcomes.

By fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration, anticipating risks and issues, embracing change, and championing open communication, you will ensure this program is delivered with excellence, compliance, and lasting impact.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive project documentation, including project charters, work plans, schedules, risk registers, and status reports
• Ensure all technical and business requirements are captured, tracked, validated, and delivered through structured processes and strong governance
• Facilitate key meetings and workshops, enabling clear decision‑making, issue resolution, and alignment across stakeholders
• Provide transparent, timely updates to executives and sponsors, highlighting progress, risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies
• Manage vendor relationships, ensuring deliverables, timelines, and quality expectations are met throughout the implementation lifecycle. Manage vendor performance against contractual obligations, ensuring compliance with scope, service levels, and delivery commitments.
• Monitor scope, schedule, and budget using project controls to maintain alignment with approved plans and financial targets
• Ensure project deliverables are on time and within budget, maintaining quality, stakeholder satisfaction, and operational readiness
