Full Job Description
What you'll do

Your Week in Focus:

You'll divide your time between strategic leadership and hands-on delivery. You'll start your week in governance forums-steering committee calls, executive status reviews, and decision meetings-where you present insights, flag risks, and secure buy-in for critical decisions. Mid-week, you're embedded with your configuration, data, QA, development, and integration teams, ensuring every workstream is aligned and integrated. You're the "single throat to choke" for your client-the one they call when they have concerns, when scope shifts, or when they need confidence that their project is on track.

You'll proactively manage risks before they become crises: spotting dependencies early, modeling scenarios, stress-testing timelines, and presenting options with clear recommendations. You're accountable for scope, schedule, budget, and quality-and you're not afraid to have tough conversations about trade-offs.

You'll also:
  • Lead change management, scope control, and financial tracking with precision
  • Plan and optimize resource allocation across multiple workstreams
  • Champion PMO standards and best practices, improving how the team delivers
  • Mentor junior project managers and coordinators, growing future leaders
  • Harness AI and automation to strengthen governance-think: executive dashboards, risk trend analysis, dependency mapping, and delivery forecasting powered by tools that amplify your leadership


What you bring

Must-Have Experience & Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of project management experience, with proven success delivering complex Defined Benefit pension implementation projects end-to-end
  • Mastery of client-facing software implementation delivery, particularly projects with multiple workstreams and senior stakeholders
  • Deep knowledge of pension administration-processes, pain points, and technology landscapes
  • Executive-level communication and stakeholder management-you speak fluently with C-suite clients and senior leaders
  • Demonstrated expertise in risk management, financial control, and change control across large-scale initiatives
  • Proven track record leading governance forums and steering committees with senior client stakeholders
  • Leadership of integrated, multi-disciplinary teams across configuration, data, QA, product, development, and integration functions
  • AI fluency and digital leadership mindset-hands-on experience applying generative AI, copilots, or automation to improve delivery insights, governance, and decision support
  • Understanding of responsible AI practices, including data privacy, security, and appropriate use of enterprise-approved tools
  • Ability to identify and champion practical AI use cases (e.g., executive reporting automation, risk trend analysis, dependency mapping, forecasting)


Nice-to-Have Skills:
  • Bilingual proficiency (English and French)
  • PMP or similar project management certification
  • Experience with SaaS platforms, data migration, and system integrations
  • Familiarity with tools like Azure DevOps (ADO), Jira, or comparable platforms


Salary Range: $85,000-$110,000

Actual total compensation will be determined based on factors such as knowledge, skills, performance and experience. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply, even if the posted salary range doesn't match your expectations.
