Job description

Senior Project Manager – Technology (Online Business Banking / Payments)

Hourly Pay Range: $76.75 - $87.99/hour

We are partnering with a leading Canadian bank to hire a Senior Project Manager to support a portfolio of high-impact Online Business Banking (OBB) initiatives. This role sits within the Commercial Banking technology team and will focus on delivering fast-paced, customer-facing digital and payments projects.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility portfolio, supporting multiple concurrent initiatives including platform enhancements, cross-border rollouts, and new product features for business banking clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple technology initiatives within the OBB portfolio
• Manage parallel workstreams across 4–5+ cross-functional teams (engineering, product, QA, architecture)
• Drive delivery in a fast-paced, Agile/Waterfall hybrid environment with frequent releases and tight timelines
• Partner with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure alignment and execution
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and escalation points before they impact delivery
• Support initiatives related to payments, reporting, and digital banking platform enhancements
• Contribute to F26 planning, helping shape delivery roadmaps and execution strategy

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience as a Technology Project Manager (not a Scrum Master or purely PMO/governance)
• Proven experience delivering digital banking, payments, or commercial banking technology projects
• Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives in complex, fast-moving environments
• Experience working across large, matrixed teams with multiple delivery partners
• Demonstrated ability to anticipate risks, think critically, and problem-solve quickly
• Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, and Agile delivery practices
• Prior experience within a banking or financial services environment is required

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience with Online Business Banking (OBB) or similar digital banking platforms
• Exposure to payments (ACH, EFT, wires, cross-border) or transaction-based systems
• Experience supporting multi-region or cross-border launches (Canada/U.S.)
• A reputation for being a calm, confident delivery lead who can navigate ambiguity and drive results

Why This Role?

• Opportunity to lead complex, multi-stream initiatives with strong executive visibility
• Fast-paced environment ideal for senior PMs who thrive in delivery-focused roles
