Project Manager / Chef de projet (2 positions)

Two project manager positions are opening in the wealth management manufacturing workstream, at the heart of the GPAP senior vice-presidency's transformation program. The targeted delivery covers Fonds Desjardins account administration and runs in several increments, under a hybrid approach. The incumbent leads resources throughout the project, rules on changes affecting the core team, budget or schedule, and presents progress to steering committees, including phase gates. They act as the pivot between the sponsor, IT and business teams and, when needed, an external vendor. The client's text uses the definition of a delivery director, a sign that the expected accountability goes beyond coordination.

Candidate sought: a person with more than 10 years in project management who has already answered, alone, for a budget, a schedule and changes before a steering committee. Their resume shows at least one project delivered in several increments, with dependencies across IT, business and vendors, ideally above $3M.

Key Requirements:

• More than 10 years in project management, in a structured environment with a recognized development methodology
• Multiple stakeholder management
• Hybrid project management (several increments)
• Functional English
