Description
Overview
We are seeking an experienced Program and Project Manager to lead and deliver complex projects to completion. The ideal candidate will drive project success through effective planning, execution, and stakeholder management and comply with governance framework, including security and resiliency.
The Program Manager will manage the replatforming of a critical application across three key tracks: Infrastructure track for building new technology stacks in the Government Data Centre, Application track for refactoring the application for the new technology environment, and Cybersecurity track for conducting threat risk assessment of the new setup.
The role requires strong competency in three critical areas: identifying and mitigating program execution risks, monitoring progress and managing dependencies across tracks, and providing consolidated status updates to stakeholders. Working closely with Project Managers from each track, the Program Manager will gather detailed updates, coordinate cross-track activities, and ensure alignment of deliverables. The Program Manager will be responsible for developing comprehensive risk management strategies, ensuring synchronized delivery across tracks, and driving key decisions through effective stakeholder management.
The Project Manager will manage the project to replatform another critical application, taking end-to-end responsibility for its successful delivery. Working closely with Solution Architects, they will design the target architecture aligned with enterprise technology standards, plan necessary application modifications, and develop comprehensive testing and migration strategies. The role involves extensive coordination with infrastructure teams to ensure platform requirements are met and proper implementation of the technical solution. Given the application's critical nature, the Project Manager will establish robust project governance, actively manage risks and dependencies, and provide regular updates to senior stakeholders. They will oversee all aspects of project delivery including timelines, resources, and change management processes. This position requires strong technical understanding, stakeholder management skills, and experience in managing complex system migrations.
While the Program Manager and Project Manager are assigned to different applications, there are synergies between their work streams. They will collaborate closely to ensure alignment and consistency in execution approaches while maintaining focus on their primary responsibilities. During periods of extended leave, they will provide coverage for each other's roles, ensuring continuous oversight and progress of both applications.
