Join our team and what we'll accomplish togetherAt TELUS Health, we're transforming how organizations manage their most complex benefits challenges. Our Retirement & Benefit Solutions team partners with leading enterprises to modernize and implement Defined Benefit / Defined Contribution pension and Benefits platforms—work that directly impacts thousands of employees and retirees.

As a Senior Project Manager, you won't just oversee implementation timelines. You'll own the complete delivery story—from the first client conversation through successful go-live and transition to operations. You'll lead through complexity, build trusted relationships with C-suite executives, steer multi-million dollar initiatives, and mentor the next generation of delivery leaders. This is leadership that shapes how organizations transform, and it requires someone who can balance strategic vision with meticulous execution.

If you thrive navigating ambiguity, inspiring cross-functional teams, and turning intricate challenges into client wins, this is your role.



What you'll do
Your Week in Focus: You'll divide your time between strategic leadership and hands-on delivery. You'll start your week in governance forums—steering committee calls, executive status reviews, and decision meetings—where you present insights, flag risks, and secure buy-in for critical decisions. Mid-week, you're embedded with your configuration, data, QA, development, and integration teams, ensuring every workstream is aligned and integrated. You're the \"single throat to choke\" for your client—the one they call when they have concerns, when scope shifts, or when they need confidence that their project is on track.

You'll proactively manage risks before they become crises: spotting dependencies early, modeling scenarios, stress-testing timelines, and presenting options with clear recommendations. You're accountable for scope, schedule, budget, and quality—and you're not afraid to have tough conversations about trade-offs.
