  • Manage the prioritization and execution of workstreams or key deliverables within project plans.
  • Facilitate stakeholder interviews and workshops to identify current-state processes and future-state requirements.
  • Guide the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), decision matrices, and workflow documentation.
  • Collaborate with UX, Tech, and Data teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
  • Coordinate with vendors (for SaaS) or internal teams (for in-house builds).
  • Oversee sprint planning sessions, retrospectives, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), go-live activities, daily standups, and cross-functional synchronization meetings.
  • Monitor product performance post-launch to gather feedback for continual improvement.
  • Document enhancement requests and translate them into actionable backlog items.
  • Track bug fixes, change requests, compliance updates ensuring timely resolution.
  • Develop capability adoption roadmaps based on business readiness.
  • Identify organizational, process, or data changes required for enablement.
  • Track capability maturity across markets or functions.
  • Provide regular updates to senior management on project status, risks, issues.


What You Bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Commerce, or a related business field; a Master's degree is an asset.
  • 5+ years of experience in capability development or product management roles.
  • High proficiency using MS Office applications (Word/Excel) along with project management tools like JIRA/Trello etc.
  • Proven track record of managing teams through successful project lifecycles.
  • Excellent communication skills capable of articulating complex ideas clearly across different audiences (technical/non-technical).
  • Proven analytical/problem-solving abilities - adept at evaluating options & making sound decisions
  • Thrives leading collaborative environments fostering teamwork towards common objectives
  • Flexible mindset embracing change readily while keeping focus intact amidst shifting priorities
  • Creative thinker welcoming innovative approaches towards problem-solving
