In this role, you will be responsible for orchestrating technical deliveries, steering cross-functional execution, and guiding a talented group of engineers, specialists, and consultants. If you excel at driving complex technical roadmaps through structured delivery and collaborative leadership, this mandate offers an exceptional platform to showcase your expertise.

Manage the complete end-to-end delivery cycle for assigned IT project streams, ensuring targets and deadlines are met.

Serve as the dedicated Project Manager leading the migration transition to a new cloud infrastructure vendor.

Oversee financial allocations, maintain strict budget controls, and deliver formal status reporting to executive stakeholders.

Defend and align the strategic necessity of infrastructure initiatives across business lines and executive management.

Guide and align a multidisciplinary squad composed of senior professionals, intermediate staff, and third-party consultants.

Deploy strong non-authoritative leadership to drive alignment, resolve technical bottlenecks, and maintain team momentum.

Working knowledge of the Salesforce platform ecosystem.

Superior interpersonal, communication, and cross-functional influencing skills.

Demonstrated ability to prioritize effectively and navigate complex team dynamics without direct line authority.

Full bilingualism in French and English (spoken and written).

Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties. Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.
