FISPAN is seeking a Manager, PMO to lead our Project Management Office through its next phase of growth. This is a leadership role responsible for building a PMO operating model that scales with the business — strong portfolio governance, a well-developed team, and delivery practices that keep pace as FISPAN’s partner base and project volume grow
Why this role matters: the PMO sits at the intersection of every major bank delivery initiative FISPAN runs. Get the operating model right, and the rest of the business scales with confidence. If you’ve owned, managed, and meaningfully transformed a PMO function before — not just run a secure one — this role is for you
Own portfolio governance for FISPAN’s bank-delivery portfolio — establishing intake, prioritization, and resource-allocation practices that scale delivery capacity independently of raw project-volume growth
Lead and develop a multi-tiered PM organization, aligning project complexity to the right level of ownership and maintaining clear escalation and decision-rights frameworks across the team
Own financial governance for the PMO portfolio — revenue forecasting, benefits realization tracking, and the KPIs that give leadership a credible, forward‑looking view of delivery and revenue performance
Partner with Finance on revenue governance and delivery reporting practices that scale as the business grows
Establish the PMO as a center of excellence — converting delivery experience into repeatable playbooks, reusable service offerings, and delivery‑intelligence capabilities that outlast any single project
Build deliberate succession planning and career development across the PM organization, closing single points of failure before they become critical
Define and protect the PMO’s role boundaries across Product, Engineering, Finance, and Partner‑facing functions — providing delivery governance and assurance without encroaching on solution design,



product ownership, commercial authority, or account management
Act as a change management partner for major operating‑model transitions, ensuring new practices are adopted sustainably across the organization rather than imposed top‑down
Benefits 4-Week Vacation
Health & Wellness Coverage
100% Parental Leave Top-Up
Downtown Vancouver Offices & Amenities including fitness centre
Daily Coffee Runs & Weekly Team Lunches
MacBook / Apple equipment
Proven track record transforming or meaningfully rebuilding a PMO’s operating model, ideally through a high-growth or high-volume delivery period
Experience designing or operating tiered or portfolio-based resourcing models — knowing how to scale delivery governance without scaling headcount 1:1 with volume
Excellent executive communication skills; able to present portfolio recommendations and trade-offs directly to leadership
Comfortable being hands‑on in a build/rebuild phase — this is not a role for someone who wants to inherit an already‑mature, steady‑state function
10+ years in program/project management, including at least 4–5 years directly owning a PMO function — not just operating within one
Strong cross‑functional stakeholder management — able to operate at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Finance, and partner‑facing teams without needing to own any of them
Direct experience with revenue recognition, delivery economics, or portfolio‑value modeling — comfortable owning numbers Finance and leadership will scrutinize
Demonstrated people leadership across multiple levels (Senior PM through PM), with a track record of building deliberate succession depth, not just filling seats
Experience leading a PM organization through significant client‑base or revenue growth
Experience in B2B SaaS, fintech, or bank/financial‑integration environments
PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program‑management certification
