Our leading Toronto-based bank is growing its Interactive Services portfolio and has two dynamic Project Manager contract positions open - both reporting to the same manager, offering the same rate and focused on hands-on delivery in a fast-paced, agile environment. These roles are perfect for proactive professionals who thrive on tracking progress, managing risks, and driving successful outcomes across technology projects in the financial services sector.
Support the full portfolio by coordinating intake, tracking milestones, managing budgets/forecasts/accruals, preparing performance reports (burn-downs, metrics), and interfacing with executives/stakeholders. You'll participate in Agile ceremonies, handle ad-hoc tasks, and adapt quickly to evolving priorities.
Role 2: Risk-Focused Project Manager / Program Oversight
Oversee multiple large-scale key projects to proactively identify "yellow flags" - potential risks, issues, pending decisions, and watch items. You'll mitigate risks, capture problems, escalate as needed, report findings, probe with targeted questions, and present insights to stakeholders. Knowledge of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) concepts is a strong plus for structured risk prioritization.
Shared Details for Both Roles:
- Contract: 6+ months (high likelihood of extension)
- Rate: $72/hr - $76/Hr
- Team: Interactive Services - technology-driven projects in a collaborative, executive-facing banking environment
Key Skills & Mindset:
- 5-10 years in project coordination, program support, or PM roles (tech and financial services background preferred)
- Strong project tracking, financial management, risk identification/mitigation, stakeholder communication
- JIRA expertise (tracking, reporting, user stories)
- Agile mindset with adaptability to wear multiple hats
- Excellent probing/questioning skills, attention to detail, and proactive attitude
Nice-to-Haves:
- Advanced Excel (formulas, pivots), PowerPoint
