With a presence in Canada, the US, India, and Costa Rica, we blend technical depth with creative problem-solving to deliver measurable impact.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Senior Technical Delivery Manager will lead application-readiness coordination for a new retail store opening. The role will serve as the portfolio lead's hands-on program partner, establishing a reliable view of the current landscape and driving multiple applications toward production readiness.

This person will coordinate application managers and cross-functional dependency teams, manage the critical path, maintain governance and provide clear executive-level reporting in a compressed delivery environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITES

• Program mobilization: Rapidly assess the existing landscape, plans, documentation, risks, stakeholders and delivery status; identify gaps and establish an integrated control structure.
• Integrated planning: Build and maintain a workback plan from the production-readiness milestone, covering configuration, application-readiness testing, integration testing, production validation, training and hypercare dependencies.
• Application readiness: Coordinate readiness across approximately 74 applications and the managers accountable for their respective application areas.
• Critical-path management: Identify prerequisite activities—such as master-data setup—and ensure that dependency commitments are achieved before downstream configuration or testing is affected.
• Cross-functional coordination: Work with merchandising, finance, supply chain, master data, technology, business teams and other partners to secure dates, resolve blockers and maintain alignment.
• Governance and reporting: Prepare consolidated status reporting, facilitate governance forums and communicate risks, decisions and required actions to managers, directors and senior business and IT leaders.
• Risk and escalation: Identify emerging schedule or readiness risks early, coordinate recovery actions and escal...
• Program controls: Maintain the portfolio charter, scope, RAID log, stakeholder map, application inventory, manager-level checklists, decisions, dependencies and milestone evidence in line with DMO guidelines.
• Playbook development: Create reusable store-opening artifacts, checklists and lessons learned because prior internal documentation and experienced store-opening resources are limited.
• Hypercare support: Coordinate post-production validation, operational readiness and hypercare through the store-opening period and any approved extension.

EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

• Senior-level experience managing complex technical projects or programs involving multiple applications, delivery teams and cross-functional dependencies.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of an initiative already in progress, rapidly establish the true status and create an executable recovery or delivery plan.
• Strong understanding of application delivery lifecycles, including configuration, environment and data dependencies, readiness testing, integration testing, production deployment and hypercare.
• Proven experience identifying, maintaining and communicating a critical path and translating dependency slippage into schedule and business impact.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, including experience presenting to managers, directors, senior directors and executive stakeholders.
• Strong stakeholder-management, facilitation, negotiation, follow-up and escalation skills across business and IT teams.
• Experience maintaining program-management artifacts such as charters, integrated schedules, RAID logs, RACI models, governance packs, decision logs and executive status reports.
• Highly proactive, organized and hands-on, with the judgment to operate independently in an ambiguous and time-sensitive environment.

GOOD TO-HAVE EXPERIENCE

• Program or project management experience within retail.
• Experience supporting a new store opening, retail-site launch or comparable operational go-live.
• Experience coordinating a large application portfolio and cross-functional teams such as merchandising, finance, supply chain and master data.
• Relevant program/project-management certification or equivalent delivery experience.
• Experience working within an enterprise DMO/PMO governance framework.
