Business Project Manager

The client is looking for two senior, versatile project managers focused on business projects in the financial domain, even though the role sits within CLIENT technology entity. The person is the central point for all contributors (sponsor, managers, integrator) and is solely accountable for the project plan, deliverables and reporting to the sponsor and steering committee. The role covers one or several cross-functional projects in parallel, which puts planning and coordinating multiple deliveries on the same level as leading a single project. Experience in a financial institution or a risk management context is required, and knowledge of financing approval risk is listed among the competencies. The pool is narrowed by the combined thresholds: over 10 years, bilingualism and two days per week on site in Lévis; certification differentiates candidates without excluding them.

Target candidate: a bilingual project manager with over 10 years of large-scale business project management, who has owned the plan, budget, schedule and closure of cross-functional projects involving business, IT and external vendor teams. Their background is in a financial institution or a risk management context, ideally with exposure to credit or financing approval, and a PMP, MGP or ACP certification is a plus.
