The Director of Enterprise Delivery, reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, is based in the Sherwood Park location. The role is responsible for establishing and leading the organization’s enterprise execution and delivery governance capability across business and technology functions.

This role exists to improve how work flows through the organization by

strengthening enterprise prioritization, execution governance, delivery coordination, operational cadence, and organizational accountability across strategic initiatives and operational change activities.
