Senior Project Manager

Location: Montreal (Hybrid – 1–2 days on-site, 3 days remote)

Type: Contract

Rate: $80/hr – $85/hr

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior, Bilingual (EN/FR) Project Manager to step into a complex, fast-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.
