About the Role

We're looking for a Senior, Bilingual (EN/FR) Project Manager to step into a complex, quick-moving workstream mid-flight within a large post-merger integration program in the Financial Services sector. This is a high-visibility contract role for a seasoned PM who can hit the ground running, influence at the C-suite level, and bring structure and momentum to a demanding, dynamic environment.

If you're an adaptable leader — a strong listener, influencer, negotiator, and facilitator with superior communication skills — we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

- Own the workstream plan, tracking, and reporting; lean into key ad-hoc deliverables as priorities shift.
- Manage all aspects of the project lifecycle — scoping, resource assignment, planning, tracking, monitoring, and reporting.
- Develop and maintain key project artifacts: project plan, RAID log, issue/action logs, risk management, communication plan, and status reports.
- Facilitate project team and steering committee discussions, influencing stakeholders at all levels — including firm leadership and C-suite.
- Coordinate and manage activities across the broader program, driving results across cross-functional teams without direct reporting authority.
- Maintain the PMO library and lessons-learned database,



applying insights to strengthen delivery.
- Contribute to continuous improvement through templates, procedures, and process enhancements.

What You Bring

Must-haves:

- 7+ years of project management experience delivering complex project solutions.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Hands-on experience with Agile methodology.
- Expert-level MS Suite, including Microsoft Project.
- Intermediate Google Suite proficiency.
- Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills, including experience engaging firm leadership and C-suite audiences.
- Bilingual — English & French (oral and written).

Nice-to-haves:

- RPA / UiPath experience.
- Reporting tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
- Experience with Workday and/or Salesforce.
- Project Management designation (e.g., PMP) — an asset, but not required.

What Sets You Apart

- Strong business acumen and experience on business-driven initiatives.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for quality, compliance, and accuracy.
- Ability to anticipate stakeholder reactions and navigate them with sensitivity and directness.
- A self-starter who thrives with minimal supervision, sets priorities, and consistently meets deadlines.
- Strong relationship-builder, internally and externally, grounded in ethical, values-aligned behaviour.
