We are partnering with a leading Canadian bank to hire a Senior Project Manager to support a portfolio of high-impact Online Business Banking (OBB) initiatives. This role sits within the Commercial Banking technology team and will focus on delivering fast-paced, customer-facing digital and payments projects. This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility portfolio, supporting multiple concurrent initiatives including platform enhancements, cross-border rollouts, and new product features for business banking clients.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple technology initiatives within the OBB portfolio
- Manage parallel workstreams across 4–5+ cross-functional teams (engineering, product, QA, architecture)
- Drive delivery in a fast-paced, Agile/Waterfall hybrid environment with frequent releases and tight timelines
- Partner with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure alignment and execution
- Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and escalation points before they impact delivery
- Support initiatives related to payments, reporting, and digital banking platform enhancements
- Contribute to F26 planning, helping shape delivery roadmaps and execution strategy
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years of experience as a Technology Project Manager (not a Scrum Master or purely PMO/governance)
- Proven experience delivering digital banking, payments, or commercial banking technology projects
- Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives in complex, fast-moving environments
- Experience working across large, matrixed teams with multiple delivery partners
- Demonstrated ability to anticipate risks, think critically, and problem-solve quickly
- Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, and Agile delivery practices
- Prior experience within a banking or financial services environment is required
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Experience with Online Business Banking (OBB) or similar digital banking platforms
- Exposure to payments (ACH, EFT, wires, cross-border) or transaction-based systems
- Experience supporting multi-region or cross-border launches (Canada/U.S.)
- A reputation for being a calm, confident delivery lead who can navigate ambiguity and drive results
Why This Role?
Opportunity to lead complex, multi-stream initiatives with strong executive visibility in a fast-paced environment ideal for senior PMs who thrive in delivery-focused roles.
