Who we need

Reporting to the VP, VAS Strategy & Operations, we are hiring a Senior Manager, VAS Product Innovation & Delivery Operations. As our new Senior Manager, you will act as the operational bridge between Valuation Advisory Services (VAS), Product, and Engineering, translating business priorities into clear requirements and ensuring they move through the delivery lifecycle with structure, visibility, and momentum. You will bring discipline to intake, backlog management, governance, delivery tracking, testing, and release readiness while partnering closely with business leaders, subject matter experts, and Product Managers. You will help establish a scalable, repeatable operating model for how VAS identifies, prioritizes, and delivers new capabilities through the ARGUS Intelligence platform, reducing reliance on individual knowledge and creating greater transparency and consistency across the process.

This is a full-time, permanent hybrid role based in Toronto, Ontario.

What’s in it for you

You will bring greater structure, visibility, and consistency to how requirements are captured, priorities are advanced, and decisions move into execution. Working closely with senior business leaders, subject matter experts, and Product Managers, you will help operationalize what the next generation of CRE Valuation and Insights workflows will look like, with meaningful influence over how new capabilities are shaped and delivered through the ARGUS Intelligence platform.

Broad exposure and collaboration. You will work at the intersection of business, product, and technology, gaining visibility into how priorities are shaped and translated into solutions. You will build relationships across VAS, Product, Engineering, and other enabling teams while developing a broad understanding of the commercial real estate industry, the business needs shaping the market, and the delivery considerations and dependencies behind evolving products and capabilities.

Build and improve how work gets done. VAS is evolving toward a more scalable and repeatable operating model, creating an opportunity for you to help shape the processes that support that transition. You will identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate how work moves from idea through delivery, creating practices that reduce reliance on individual knowledge and make execution more transparent and repeatable.

• Manage the backlog and delivery readiness. You will partner closely with Product Managers to maintain and refine the product backlog, supporting prioritization, identifying dependencies, and ensuring requirements are ready for sprint planning and delivery. You will connect business priorities with solution discussions, timelines, and feedback throughout the delivery lifecycle.

• Drive the operating rhythm. You will facilitate governance meetings, working sessions, prioritization forums, and sprint demos, bringing structure and accountability to how work progresses. You will ensure decisions, actions, risks, dependencies, and blockers are visible, documented, and followed through to resolution.

• Coordinate delivery and release readiness. You will track progress across VAS, Product, Engineering, and other teams, proactively identifying issues and escalating blockers when needed. You will coordinate testing and UAT, prepare business users for new capabilities, and capture post-release feedback to help inform future priorities.

• Build more scalable ways of working. You will identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate how VAS operates, helping turn individual knowledge and practices into repeatable processes. You will document requirements, decisions, delivery outcomes, and lessons learned, using insights from completed
