Sr Integrated Project Manager (Creative)

Senior Integrated Project Manager | 2-Year Contract | Hybrid, Downtown Toronto

Swoon is partnering with the in-house creative agency of one of Canada’s Big 5 banks to find a Senior Integrated Project Manager. The agency runs marketing and creative work for the bank’s lines of business. You’d own the bank’s largest programs: enterprise-priority initiatives that span several business lines, have executive visibility, and need someone to set direction, not just keep the schedule.

This role suits a senior PM who works comfortably at both altitudes. You can build the governance and risk framework for a complex program, and you can still get into the detail with creative, marketing and technology teams to keep it moving.

What you’ll do

• Lead planning, execution and delivery of large, high-priority strategic programs across one or more lines of business
• Own the plan end to end: timelines, milestones, budget, resourcing, dependencies and deliverables
• Keep programs aligned to business priorities, and guide senior business stakeholders through trade-offs and decisions
• Coordinate cross-functional partners across creative, marketing, technology and the business
• Identify and mitigate risks early, resolve complex issues on your own, and escalate with a clear recommendation when needed
• Report progress clearly to stakeholders and leadership, run program meetings, and keep accountability across workstreams
• Support integrated advertising campaigns and production projects as needed

What you bring

• Significant senior project management experience leading large, complex, high-priority initiatives in an enterprise or matrixed environment
• A track record of managing senior stakeholders and leading cross-functional teams without direct authority
• A strong grasp of project management methodologies and governance, and the judgment to adapt them to the project
• Strong risk management: you see problems before they land and build real mitigation plans
• Comfort with ambiguity, shifting priorities and competing demands
• Experience with integrated marketing, advertising, creative or production projects is a strong asset
• Experience in banking, insurance or another regulated industry is an asset
• PMP is preferred

The details

• 2-year full-time contract
• Hybrid: 3 days a week onsite in downtown Toronto
• Pay range: $48–$58/hr. That’s up to $48/hr on T4, or up to $58/hr incorporated (C2C)
• This posting is for an existing vacancy
