Toronto is home to more than 2.9 million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada's leading economic engine and one of the world's most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture, and innovation, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.

Having managed all aspects of transformational enterprise-wide IT projects in complex, multi-departmental environments, you're well prepared to develop, design and implement functional policies and programs for major business transformation and performance improvement projects based on the City's strategic directions and business long-term needs.

Your strengths as a manager of people and resources will be evident as you lead teams of technical staff, client representatives, contractors, consultants, vendors and other intra/interdivisional stakeholders to implement projects effectively.

We'll rely on you to lead and manage the development of detailed scope requirements, budgeting, resource management, planning and scheduling, progress monitoring and reporting, manage and mitigate issues and risks, and review, prepare and execute change requests.
