Lumentum Canada was awarded the 2022 National Capital Region’s Top Employers for the 6th consecutive year and the 2022 Career Directory Canada’s Best Employers for Recent Graduates for the 5th consecutive year. Are you early in your career but ready to own something big?
Lumentum — an S&P 500 technology leader at the heart of the AI infrastructure revolution — is looking for a driven, detail-obsessed professional to take charge of our Program Portfolio Management System (PDWare Resource First). This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact role where data, strategy, and execution meet — with direct visibility to executive leadership.
What You’ll Own You’ll be the go-to expert for our portfolio management system — ensuring it runs smoothly, delivers insights, and supports critical decision-making across the business.
System Administration:
Own and manage PDWare Resource First — configuration, maintenance, and continuous improvement
Data Integrity:
Keep our portfolio data clean, consistent, and trustworthy (no chaos allowed)
Reporting & Insights:
Build and deliver clear, actionable reports for leadership and program teams
User Enablement:
Support, train, and empower users to get the most out of the system
Process Optimization:
Identify inefficiencies and drive smarter, more scalable ways of working
Cross-Functional Impact:
Collaborate with engineering, program management, and leadership teams
What You Bring2+ years of experience in program management, PMO tools, business operations, or similar
Administrator-level experience with PPM tools such as PDWare Resource First, Planview, or Clarity (configuration, maintenance, and user support)
Experience with reporting and data visualization tools — Tableau and Qlik Sense preferred;
Power BI also valued
Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail (you spot what others miss)
Confidence working with data, reports, and dashboards
Ability to translate technical systems into user-friendly guidance
Proactive attitude — you don’t wait for problems, you prevent them
Why This Role Matters Reporting directly to the VP of Corporate PMO, you’ll operate at the intersection of data, execution, and strategy. At Lumentum, we’re not just building products — we’re enabling the infrastructure behind the world’s most advanced AI systems. Your work will directly influence how resources are planned, programs are executed, and strategic decisions are made.
Why You’ll Love It Here Be part of a fast-growing S&P 500 company at the center of AI innovation
High visibility role with exposure to executive leadership
Take ownership early and make a tangible impact
