Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is seeking an Associate Director, Project and Program Delivery in the Enterprise Program and Project Management Office (ePMO) to join its dynamic Corporate Services team.

The Associate Director leads a series of project and program management and strategic execution plan activities associated with the delivery of high visibility projects for CBS.

As an ideal candidate, you bring an undergrad degree in a relevant field (business, engineering, science, etc.) combined with several years of experience managing multiple projects with large teams, budgets, and multiple stakeholders at an executive level. You bring demonstrable skill in navigating multiple competing priorities, executing with urgency, building teams, leading and coaching other project managers for high-performance, and ideally, experience managing and implementing change within a non-unionized and unionized workforce environment. CBS will benefit from your strong focus on outcomes and proven ability to manage a significant project portfolio for a large organization. Previous experience managing new product or process introduction in the regulated environment, or the health sector is an asset, as is experience with Agile teams. You are an outstanding communicator, credible and equally comfortable and effective engaging with the front line as you are presenting to senior leadership. Peers highly value you for your drive, authenticity, detail orientation, analytical skill, and ability to achieve results. Project Management certification such as a PMP or PRINCE 2 is considered an asset.
