This is a 6 month contract role based in downtown Toronto under a hybrid work policy, allowing employees the flexibility to work remotely and in-office (approximately two days per week in-office).
The Project Manager is responsible for overseeing and manage the end-to-end execution of small to medium complexity projects with high impact within UPP. They will lead the execution and delivery of projects across the lifecycle, establishing cooperation and alignment between cross-functional teams. Their focus will be on effective planning, obtaining client satisfaction, and achieving business goals. Manage cross-functional stakeholders to collect their inputs and ensure their commitment in your project and its timely delivery.
Support the development of project proposal, charters, plans, schedules, resource plans, business plans, and performance metrics.
Analyze and present data to provide solid recommendations for the project to the senior leadership team.
Deliver high-quality projects that satisfy customer requirements on-time and on-budget.
Oversee the successful completion of project milestones by cross-functional teams.
Manage budgets and resources throughout the lifecycle.
Identify, manage, and resolve risks and issues proactively to enable team delivery.
Balance the needs of the project, the client, and the organization, managing tradeoffs between scope, time, cost, and quality.
Monitor and report on project progress and business value gained.
Clearly and promptly communicate project details and updates to the appropriate teams, stakeholders, and oversight bodies.
Support regular reporting to UPP’s Strategic Initiative’s Management Committee and other leadership forums as required.
Support change management efforts to ensure optimal project impact.
Demonstrated success directing projects across multiple product lines and business units.
Comfortable owning projects across the lifecycle and are excellent at planning, executing, controlling, and reporting on multi-faceted initiatives.
Experience working within a matrix environment, adept at building strong cross-functional relationships and always going the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction.
Experience in preparing and presenting to Steering Committee – Risks, Issues and Financials
Experience with building a business case with overall cost, benefits, project artifacts, detailed plan and obtaining approvals from multiple stakeholders.
Effective collaboration and relationship management skills, including the ability to strengthen relationships with varied stakeholders.
Excellent oral communication skills and professional writing, editing and media skills.
Ability to display a commitment to and advocate for accessibility, diversity, and inclusion.
Organized, resourceful and able to manage multiple projects and processes across departments in a collegial and professional manner.
You believe in delivering quality solutions. You are able to set the tone and direction of the team, but you are also able to actively listen to the team.
A leader who addresses risk before they become issues.
No one at UPP is just a number (even if they are excellent at math) and every win is a shared win.
You’ll have the opportunity to work on unique, once-in-a-career projects that maximize your skill set and probably teach you some new ones—at any stage in your career.
