TELUS Health is empowering every person to live their healthiest life. Guided by our vision, we are leveraging the power of our leading edge technology and focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create the future of health. As a global-leading health and well-being provider - encompassing physical, mental and financial health - TELUS Health is improving health outcomes for consumers, patients, healthcare professionals, employers and employees.

Join our team and what we'll accomplish together
At TELUS Health, we're not just managing retirement and advantages programs—we're transforming how organizations deliver them. Our Retirement & Benefit Solutions team powers cloud-based platforms that touch millions of lives across North America. Every day, we help our clients modernize systems that matter: pension administration, benefits delivery, health & welfare programs.

What you'll do
Own Large-Scale Client Delivery
Lead end-to-end delivery of complex Defined Benefit, Defined Contribution, and Health & Welfare programs. That means juggling multiple workstreams, coordinating across Product, Development, Configuration, Data, QA, and Operations. You'll manage dependencies, mitigate risks, forecast financial performance, and keep everyone aligned to what actually matters: delivering on commitments.

Be the Strategic Client Partner
You’ll be the senior delivery voice for our most significant clients. Build trusted relationships with executive stakeholders. Lead steering committees. Have the conversations that shape strategy, not just status. Proactively identify where we can modernize, improve, and create value—thinking like a consultant, not just a delivery manager.

Drive Governance & Decision-Making
Establish governance frameworks that don’t slow things down—they accelerate them. Set up escalation paths that work. Deliver clear, data-driven executive reporting that helps clients and internal leaders make confident decisions. Make sure program health, risks, and financial impacts are visible and actionable.

Lead Cross-Functional Teams
Influence without direct authority in matrixed environments. Foster collaboration across diverse teams. Create accountability. Push the organization toward innovative, modern delivery practices—whether that’s leveraging automation, recent tools, or AI-enabled productivity solutions.

Contribute to Continuous Improvement
Help the PMO evolve. Share lessons learned.



Develop best practices and templates that make future programs stronger. Champion modern delivery methodologies and tools that improve how we work.
