- Serve as a senior product leader for executive stakeholders across Product, Technology, Delivery, Operations, Sales, and Client organizations.
- Support client and market facing product positioning related to roadmap, modernization, and platform direction.
- Communicate complex portfolio topics clearly to senior leadership, enabling informed decision making.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
- Ensure portfolio strategies align with regulatory, audit, privacy, and security requirements across Canada and the US.
- Identify and proactively manage portfolio‑level risks related to scalability, coupling, data integrity, and support models.
- Define and monitor portfolio health metrics, including platform stability, modernization progress, and delivery risk.
What you bring:
Education & Experience
- 10+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Portfolio Management, or Platform Leadership roles.
- Demonstrated experience in Defined Benefit Pension, Group Annuity, insurance, or regulated financial services.
