• Drive proactive risk identification and mitigation.

Stakeholder Management

• Meet regularly with project teams, sponsors, and stakeholders to ensure alignment and remove roadblocks.
• Facilitate strong cross-functional collaboration across IT, business units, and external partners.
• Ensure the right stakeholders are engaged at the right time in the decision-making process.

Communication & Reporting

• Build and maintain clear communication channels between project teams, business leaders, and executives.
• Deliver timely updates, dashboards, and presentations to ensure leadership has visibility into project status and performance.
• Act as a trusted advisor and act as the right hand to the VP of IT and senior leadership on project priorities and resourcing needs.

Team & Process Development

• Mentor and develop project managers and coordinators within the team.
• Continuously evaluate and refine ways of working to improve efficiency, agility, and project outcomes.
• Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and collaboration.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, or related field (Master’s degree an asset).
• 10+ years of progressive project management experience, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
• Experience managing both infrastructure and ERP projects is a definite asset.
• Proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder IT and business projects.
• Expertise in project governance, frameworks (e.g., PMBOK, Agile, Hybrid), and RACIs.
• Strong leadership and influencing skills with the ability to work across all levels of the organization.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, both in French and English (oral and written).
• Hands-on, results-oriented, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
