Requirements - Demonstrated success leading large, complex initiatives from early concept through delivery. - Strong program leadership, business judgment, systems thinking, and ability to influence without direct authority. - Experience creating and managing roadmaps, milestones, and execution frameworks. - Excellent communication, facilitation, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills. - Analytical problem-solving skills and a data-informed approach to decisions. - Understanding of software development lifecycles, Agile methods, and modern product development. - Bachelor’s degree in business, computer science, engineering, or a related field.
Nice to have - Technical familiarity with AI or generative AI systems, data platforms, cloud architecture, and distributed systems; experience with web applications, Go, Ruby, JavaScript, React, microservices, AWS, or Azure is useful. - Experience with Jira, Confluence, planning and reporting tools, and productivity software; familiarity with generative AI assistants for planning and operations is also useful.
Benefits and work setup - For Ontario residents, the stated base salary range is $150,000–$170,000 annually, with the final amount based on relevant qualifications and business needs.
