Company Profile

Ocuco Limited is a leading software solutions provider in the eyecare industry, dedicated to helping eyecare professionals streamline their operations and provide exceptional patient care. With a global presence and a focus on innovation, Ocuco has built a reputation for delivering cutting-edge technology and outstanding customer service.

The Senior Project Manager leads Enterprise Project Delivery end-to-end. Working from the Statement of Work, the role manages iterative SDLC cycles with the customer through to warranty close, owning scope, schedule, change control, customer relationship and Ocuco margin. The role is also accountable for internal projects that require delivery oversight: capturing the business case, tracking progress against goals, and supporting ROI / value-realization feasibility throughout.

Where complexity is bounded, a Senior Project Manager may lead a small Enterprise Program in lieu of a Program Manager. Reporting to the PMO Director, this role is based in Ocuco’s Burnaby office and operates on a hybrid working model, with three days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities

1.

Enterprise Project

Delivery (SOW to Warranty)

Build and run the project plan across all SDLC phases, including discovery, design, build, test, release, and warranty

Manage iterative cycles with the customer, keeping them continuously close to delivered increments

Own the customer relationship through the entire engagement; reset expectations honestly when scope or schedule shifts

Manage the warranty handover so the customer is set up for steady-state success without surprises

- Scope, Change Control & Commercial Discipline

Maintain the SOW baseline; proactively manage scope changes

Run the change-control process; produce full impact analyses (commercial, schedule, risk) before customer agreement

Balance customer outcomes with sound commercial management





Coordinate with Sales and Commercial on change orders and scoping for follow-on work

3.

Internal Project

Delivery & Value Realization

Support the business case for internal initiatives: cost, benefit, payback, key assumptions, and keep it live as facts change with Product

Track progress against goals; surface when ROI feasibility is degrading and adjust

Report outcomes back to sponsors, not just outputs — was the change worth doing?

- Risk, Issues & Stakeholders

Own the risk register at project level, including commercial, customer-relationship and SDLC risks

Drive issue resolution across customer and internal teams; manage customer expectations clearly when scope or schedule is at risk

Align Product, Engineering, QA, Architecture and Operations around the plan; broker compromises that protect customer outcomes and Ocuco margin simultaneously

- Governance & Reporting

Design and run project governance, including steering cadence, decision forums, status reporting, calibrated to project size

Establish the project-level Communication Plan: sponsors, customer counterparts, internal functions, cadence and format

Mentor Project Managers in adjacent pods; bring practices and lessons across pods

What Good Looks Like

Customer relationships remain strong during challenging phases of delivery

Project margin is protected; change requests are fair and predictable, not contentious

Internal projects ship outcomes, not just outputs; sponsors get a benefits report at closeout

Tough customer conversations are handled with appropriate autonomy and escalation judgment





Project plan reflects reality; iterations are tight and customer engagement is healthy
