Senior Project Manager
Top Benefits
About the role
YOUR PROJECT IS TO manage TIME, COST, RESOURCES AND quality . The Opportunity Like Dilbert, do you find yourself sitting in your cubicle thinking, “I need to think ‘outside the box”? Do you love having overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning, developing, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure of a project? If so, this may just be the role you were meant for. You also have a whole lot of experience and proof to show that you know how to get things done and how to motivate staff to help you do it. When it comes to working with a team, you’re the whole package – team player, supportive coach and always the enthusiastic cheerleader. As a Senior Project Manager, you will assist or lead the process to identify and document business goals and objectives as part of the initiation phase for a business case and develop a project to finalize scope, schedule, and resources. To put it simply, you are the champion of a project.
The Team You’ve Been Looking For AMA is more than a workplace; it’s a family. Together, we help protect the things that matter most to our more than one-million members—everything from roadside safety to retail savings, food security to childhood well-being. And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless!

- Free travel medical insurance for you and your immediate family
- Ongoing professional development

About AMA - Alberta Motor Association
AMA is a multi-service organization representing 1 million Albertans. While most often known for our roadside assistance program, we also offer travel, registries and insurance services, Alberta’s largest driver education school, a member rewards program and member events in our communities. Part of the CAA and AAA family, we’re focused on our member’s needs and guided by their values to provide products, services and advocacy to help them live confidently.
Anyone here will tell you that we’re a different kind of employer, and it all comes down to how we treat our members - and each other. We've boiled it down to just two words: Practically Family. That’s not just a catchy phrase, we live it every day through simple gestures.
Practically Family is the web developer heading off shift who stops to help a team member carry items in the door, the insurance advisor who uses their break to pick up an extra coffee for a co-worker who’s having a bad day, or the registries agent who takes the time to help a member put their new licence plate on their vehicle. Not to mention all the birthday parties, free food days and wedding showers we throw for each other!
Taking care of one another, encouraging one another. It’s what family does, and what being Practically Family is all about. If you can picture yourself answering yes to the question, “Am I treating this member or colleague like a close family member or friend?” with every interaction, you’re our kind of people!
