  • You will execute projects according to approved project plans using Agile principles and values and Scrum methodology (team scrums, daily standups, PI planning).
  • You will ensure proper risk management by documenting all risks and employing effective mitigation strategies.
  • You will prepare and coordinate system changes for release, organizing product demo sessions to gather feedback from stakeholders to ensure continuous improvement.
  • You will provide post-implementation support: monitoring and addressing post-go live issues to ensure continuous improvement of the system.
System Configuration and Integration

  • You will validate system performance, conduct user acceptance testing, and address any issues or discrepancies.
Requirements
  • You have a Bachelor's degree or post-secondary education in Information Technology, Business or a related field.
  • You have 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager/Product Owner, with experience working on complex, large scale system implementation.
