Who we are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton.

Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store.

What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community.

We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Team Lead, Application Support your responsibilities will include:

Motivate team members in methods to improve proficiency within the support processes, while creating a space where they can openly ask questions and voice their concerns.
Encourage the team to be proactive: Always being ahead of the client's needs, trying to identify issues and resolve them before they are detected.
Being transparent with the team about challenges, failures, and successes while providing productive performance feedback.
Assign tasks to team according to priority, while tracking the team's performance and identify ways to increase efficiency.
Facilitate and guide team adoption of firm standards and processes when delivering solutions/releases including unit testing, documentation and change management.
Identifying risks and form contingency plans to ensure projects and software releases/updates are successfully completed.
Writing progress reports and delivering presentations and briefings to the relevant stakeholders.
Other duties as assigned

And when all this comes together, well that's when the magic happens
