Top Benefits
About the role
Description Join our team and what we'll accomplish together Join the TELUS Data Center of Excellence — the team at the heart of our enterprise data strategy. We are a high-impact group responsible for engineering data pipelines, transforming raw data into enterprise-grade datasets, and building performance metrics that guide decisions across a workforce of over 15,000 employees. We bridge data engineering, business intelligence, and performance analytics — creating scalable data products that power TELUS’ customer experience, operations, and growth.
We’re looking for a strategic leader who understands how to turn data into a competitive advantage. Someone who can envision the future, build the roadmap, sell the vision to executives, and lead cross-functional teams to bring it to life.

- Secure Executive Buy-In: Build compelling business cases, win C-suite and SVP-level support, and secure funding for data transformation initiatives. Build executive-level presentations, communicate program impact, and act as the voice of the data strategy at the highest levels
- Deliver at Scale: Lead the delivery of enterprise-grade data products and BI solutions, leveraging GCP, BigQuery, Snowflake, and tools like Looker and Tableau. Align data engineers, analysts, and business partners around a shared vision and execution strategy.
- Enable Governance & Compliance: Ensure adherence to data governance, privacy, and compliance standards including SOX.
- Support Agile Delivery: Guide teams through modern software and data development lifecycles using agile methods, CI/CD, and change/release management best practices.
- Measure Impact: Define success metrics and track performance against business outcomes.
- Foster Team Growth: Support and elevate fellow program leaders through knowledge-sharing and collaboration.
Qualifications What you bring
- 10+ years in program, product, or strategic delivery roles, ideally in data or analytics environments
- Proven experience leading enterprise BI or data platform transformation programs
- A background working with cloud data platforms (GCP preferred), data lakes, ETL pipelines, and modern BI tools
- Strong understanding of data’s role in driving business performance and organizational transformation
- Executive presence and the ability to communicate clearly C-suite leaders
- Track record of managing multimillion-dollar initiatives, budgets, and cross-functional delivery teams
- Deep understanding of how to turn data products into repeatable, high-value assets
Nice to Have
- Experience in telecommunications or customer-centric industries
- PMP, PgMP, SAFe, or Agile certifications
- Background with data governance and compliance frameworks
- Familiarity with enterprise data products (e.g., customer 360, order data marts, interaction tracking)
- Ability to mentor and inspire technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
- Familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and how they apply to data platforms to ensure data pipelines and products are reliable, scalable, and monitored.
What’s In It For You
- Work at the forefront of TELUS' data transformation journey
- Partner with a skilled technical team that delivers impactful solutions
- Shape how data powers decision-making across a major Canadian enterprise
- Opportunities to influence strategic priorities at the executive level
