POSITION SUMMARY:

Role Description: Senior IT Project Manager - GOA

Responsibilities:

With the passage of Bill 48, the iGaming Alberta Act, Alberta has established the legislative foundation for a competitive, innovative, and socially responsible iGaming market. Central to this framework is the creation of the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) - a new Crown corporation mandated to conduct, manage, and regulate the province's private iGaming environment. As the designated Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) reporting entity to FINTRAC, AiGC must build a comprehensive AML and anti‑terrorist financing regime to ensure full compliance with federal and provincial regulatory requirements.

To enable this, AiGC requires a Senior Project Manager to work alongside the AML Special Advisor AiGC to lead on the development and implementation of its enterprise-wide AML program. This role is pivotal in shaping the compliance infrastructure that will underpin Alberta's new regulated market.

The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for establishing the full project foundation - developing program charters, roadmaps, Gantt charts, business plans, and risk assessment frameworks - while driving the creation of policies, governance structures, documentation, and operational processes required for FINTRAC oversight. The position demands strong leadership in coordinating across jurisdictions, legal counsel, external consultants, iGaming operators, Government of Alberta representatives, and AiGC's Special Advisor, AML.

Operating in a rapidly evolving and at times ambiguous environment, the Senior Project Manager will provide strategic direction and hands‑on execution to ensure AiGC's AML program meets all legislative, regulatory, and operational expectations. Their work will directly support key activities such as preparing for FINTRAC examinations, developing governance mechanisms, drafting executive briefing materials, and shaping board‑level presentations on the AML framework. This role is essential to enabling AiGC to launch a compliant, secure, and trustworthy iGaming marketplace positioning Alberta as a leader in regulated digital gaming.

The successful candidate will have 10 years of senior project management experience, with the ability to quickly learn and apply knowledge of AML obligations, contractual and regulatory governance, and consumer protection. They will demonstrate strong leadership in building and guiding cross‑functional teams, managing complex stakeholder relationships including operators, regulators, and the public and navigating dynamic, start‑up, and evolving environments. This role offers a unique opportunity to help shape the integrity, accountability, and trust standards that will define Alberta's regulated iGaming market for years to come.
