• Design and implement data standards and controls for PMO tooling (taxonomy, mandatory fields, quality checks, auditability) to improve reliability of program reporting
• Lead financial reporting and tracking approaches within the program toolset, including forecasting, actuals tracking, and executive-level financial insights for a C-suite audience
• Design and implement program governance and program management strategies, including cadence, decision forums, escalation paths, and standard templates
• Stand up and evolve PMO capabilities such as benefits realization, quality assurance, decision management, document management, and integrated planning-enabled through fit-for-purpose tooling
• Drive integrations and automation across platforms (e.g., Jira-Confluence-ADO-Power Platform) to reduce manual effort and improve end-to-end traceability
• Develop and execute tool rollout, training, and adoption plans; coach delivery teams on best practices and ways of working
• Partner with client and firm stakeholders to gather evidence, assess program maturity, recommend improvements, and create measurable outcomes
• Lead proposal responses and support business development by articulating tooling-enabled delivery approaches and solution architectures to senior client leaders
• Stay abreast of key industry developments in transformation delivery tooling, PMO leading practices, and emerging technology trends within Canada and globally

Experiences and skills you'll use to solve

• Experience in transformation implementation and program delivery, including:

• Designing and standing up PMOs, including governance, reporting, cadence, and operational processes to manage delivery
• Performing project/program assessments, health checks, and gateway reviews, and translating findings into practical improvements
• Managing PMO/tooling teams to deliver functions aligned to the designed governance and management controls
• End-to-end delivery experience across enterprise systems and major transformations (e.g., operating model change, re-organization, large-scale technology-enabled programs)

• Project/Program Management certification(s) (e.g., PMI PMP/PMBOK, PRINCE2, MSP, Agile, MoR, Benefits Realization) is considered an asset
