• Facilitate discussions across Design Leads and cross-functional SMEs on a regular cadence to support integrated design build, sequencing and execution (IT and Finance most critical)

• Coordinate and develop executive checkpoints and materials to secure sponsor approvals and support

• Work plan and manage external and internal resources (including consulting firms) and AI/Automation tools to deliver against program deliverables

• Liaise with change management experts to create a change plan and ongoing change activities for program outputs

What you bring

• Undergraduate degree (PMP, MBA is an asset)

• 3+ years of experience in a managerial position with strong influencing and relationship skills

• Executive presence and ease working closely with leaders at all levels

• Proven ability structuring complex issues, problem solving, and building compelling roadmaps

• Strong background in project chartering, scope development, and project management best practices

• Experience in consulting, strategy development, and/or strategy execution; Experience working with or within Consulting or IT an asset

• Superior collaboration skills with the proven ability to build relationships across various stakeholder groups to move initiatives forward

• An agile mindset with the ability to manage in an environment and new team that deals with constant change and ambiguity – “architect as we go”

• Ability to innovate and think creatively and take initiative when building, launching and managing projects/programs that drive results
