Job description

Please note - this is a contractual position. Banking / FSI experience highly preferred.

We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead Corporate Treasury’s Liquidity Enhancement Program - a multi-year, enterprise-wide initiative focused on strengthening liquidity resiliency, improving liquidity metrics and forecasting accuracy, optimizing funding and collateral usage, and enhancing intraday liquidity management and controls.

This is a senior leadership role for a candidate with 10+ years of program/project leadership experience in financial services (Treasury/Capital Markets/Risk/Finance/Technology). The role will manage a team of Program Managers (PMs) and Project Control Officers (PCOs) and will partner directly with executive stakeholders including the CFO, CRO, and CIO (and their delegates) to deliver measurable outcomes under strong governance.

Key Responsibilities

Program Leadership & Delivery

Own end-to-end delivery of the Corporate Treasury Liquidity Enhancement Program, including scope, roadmap, milestones, budget, resourcing, dependencies, and benefits realization.
Establish and maintain a structured delivery approach (hybrid Agile/waterfall as appropriate), ensuring consistent execution across workstreams.
Drive delivery discipline across multiple concurrent initiatives (process, data, technology, governance, and policy enhancements).
Identify and resolve cross-functional issues, escalating decisively when risks threaten timelines, outcomes, or regulatory expectations.

Executive Stakeholder Management & Governance

Serve as the primary program interface to senior executives and governance forums, including CFO/CRO/CIO stakeholder groups, steering committees, and working groups.
Produce executive-ready updates: progress, decisions required, risks/issues, financials, and benefit tracking.
Lead decision-making routines and ensure alignment across Treasury, Risk, Finance, Technology, and key business lines.

Liquidity Strategy Enablement (Business Outcomes)

Translate Treasury liquidity priorities into actionable program deliverables (e.g., improved liquidity forecasting, stress testing capabilities, contingency funding enhancements, intraday liquidity monitoring, collateral optimization).
Partner with Treasury and Risk leaders to ensure deliverables align with internal liquidity risk appetite, policies, and regulatory expectations (e.g., Basel/OSFI-aligned liquidity standards).
Enable improved measurement and management of key liquidity concepts such as LCR/NSFR, funding concentrations, liquidity buffers, and intraday liquidity.

Technology, Data & Change Enablement

Collaborate with the CIO organization and enterprise platforms to deliver enabling capabilities (data pipelines, reporting, analytics, Treasury systems enhancements, controls automation).
Ensure robust data governance and lineage for liquidity metrics, stress scenarios, and management reporting.
Drive change management: operating model changes, training, communications, adoption metrics, and operational readiness.

Program Controls & Team Leadership

Lead and develop PMs and PCOs; set standards for program controls including schedule management, RAID, financial tracking, scope control, and reporting cadence.
Build a high-performance culture: clear accountability, delivery excellence, transparent communication, and continuous improvement.
Manage vendor and partner relationships as required (consulting, systems integrators, software providers).

Qualifications

10+ years of progressively senior experience in program/project management within financial services.
Demonstrated success leading complex, multi-workstream programs involving business + technology + data change.
Proven ability to operate at the executive level, influencing and driving decisions with CFO/CRO/CIO-level stakeholders.
Experience managing teams of PMs/PCOs and working effectively in a matrixed organization.
Strong knowledge of Treasury and liquidity concepts (e.g., liquidity buffers, funding, collateral, liquidity stress testing, intraday liquidity, LCR/NSFR) and the governance/control environment in a regulated bank.
Familiarity with Canadian banking regulatory context and expectations (e.g., OSFI-aligned liquidity practices) is strongly preferred.

Education/Certifications:

Bachelor’s degree required; MBA/graduate degree an asset
PMP strongly preferred; Agile/SAFe certification an asset

Core Competencies

Executive communication: concise, structured, decision-oriented storytelling.
Strong program governance and controls, with a track record of on-time/on-budget delivery.
Strategic thinking with hands-on execution—able to move between “why” and “how.”
Ability to manage ambiguity and drive alignment across competing priorities.
High integrity and sound judgment in a risk-sensitive environment.
