The opportunity

CBC/Radio-Canada is running a large-scale agile program with rigorous financial, tracking, and reporting requirements. This role offers the opportunity to synthesize complex financial data into actionable insights for various stakeholder groups, ultimately supporting critical reporting within the corporation and, via Finance, to external institutions involved in financing of the program.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

• Oversee and aggregate program-level financials, applying strong Capital and non-Capital accounting knowledge while supporting empowered agile squads and Product Owners in managing their individual financial accountability.
• Working with the Program Director and Finance, establish appropriate financial guardrails and provide program-level monitoring across categories of spend (e.g., vendors, resourcing, licensing), supporting the Product Owners who maintain ownership/accountability for their initiative/project financials.
• Align financial tracking with the program's resource sheet for labour and travel burn rates, including squad membership and percentage allocations to projects.
• Develop "what-if" scenarios and financial plans to support program agility and decision-making.
• Fluently translate progress, risk, and financial metrics between technical teams and corporate partners, ensuring information is fit-for-purpose for high-level stewardship and control.
• Collaborate with Program Director in preparing financial reporting for Governance.
• Communicate financial statuses and requirements effectively to diverse groups, including Corporate Finance, the Program Director, and Product Owners/Squad Leads.

We are looking for a candidate with the following:

• 7 years relevant experience with 3 or more years managing project financials including agile/hybrid environments.
• Strong financial acumen, a deep understanding of financial mechanisms on projects and programs in the context of transformational and innovation projects.
• Able to understand actuals, and build short and long term forecasts in agile, traditional, and hybrid environments.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity within an evolving program environment, bringing flexibility to financial forecasting as requirements and delivery details become more clearly defined over time.
• Understanding of different expenditure types in large transformative projects.
• Understanding of multiple funding models, from standard corporate budgets to loans paid via leases.
• Strong proficiency in utilizing data tools to track and report on financial performance metrics and turn complex information into tailored summaries.
• Experience building and using tools and reporting on financials in transformational/innovative initiatives.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of interacting seamlessly with both highly technical and director-level governance.
• University degree in a relevant field or equivalent combination of training and experience.
