• The role is responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing delivery activities across defined work streams and blended teams of internal and vendor resources. This includes managing schedules, dependencies, risks, and issues, as well as coordinating and optimizing the use of assigned resources to ensure successful execution in alignment with approved scope, timelines, and governance.

Accountability is limited to delivery execution within the assigned scope and does not include ownership of funding approvals, procurement authority, or responsibilities associated with initial solution delivery.

• 8+ years of experience managing complex digital or I⁢ delivery initiatives, preferably within large or highly governed enterprise environments.
• Proven experience delivering projects using agile, waterfall, and hybrid delivery methodologies.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating delivery across blended teams of internal staff and external vendors.
• Proven ability to manage delivery risks, dependencies, and issues across multiple work streams.
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) and/or Finance & Operations (F&O;) environments and Azure Dev Ops-supported delivery is considered an asset.
• Robust organizational, analytical, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to communicate clearly, lead delivery discussions, and maintain momentum in complex environments.

• Develop and maintain a detailed, integrated delivery plan for assigned work streams, including tasks, milestones, dependencies, and resource considerations.
• Ensure plans remain responsive to iterative or agile delivery approaches while supporting day to day tracking of activities and progress.

• Coordinate delivery across internal teams and external vendors, including tracking activities and milestones associated with vendor deliverables.
• Support execution of system integration, testing, deployment, and stabilization activities to ensure delivery continuity and readiness.

• Prepare regular (e.g., weekly, bi weekly, and ad hoc) delivery status reports covering progress, risks, issues, and dependencies.
• Present delivery status, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders and governance forums as required.

• Proactively identify, assess, and manage delivery risks and issues across assigned work streams.
• Escalate high impact risks and issues with recommended mitigation strategies in a timely and structured manner.

• Support transition planning and handover activities to operational teams to enable sustainable post implementation support and continuity.
