• Demonstrated ability to perform deep-dive Business Analysis (user stories, functional specs) while simultaneously managing high-level Program Governance.
• Expert in Scrum/Kanban/SAFe and hybrid delivery models.
• Active use of AI productivity tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to enhance project documentation and delivery speed.
• Exceptional executive-level communication and stakeholder facilitation skills.
• University degree in Computer Science, Business Administration, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• Core banking integrations, middleware, digital platforms, and member-facing mobile/web workflows.
• Credit union operating models, regulatory constraints (OSFI, BCFSA), and the unique "Member-First" philosophy.
• Early adopter of AI collaboration tools to accelerate delivery, synthesize complex workstreams, and drive data-driven personalization in banking products.
• Master negotiator, capable of resolving high-stakes conflicts between internal teams, external vendors, and CU executives (CIOs, COOs, CEOs).

Benefits

• The salary range for this high-impact role is CAD $120,000 – $140,000 annually, depending on the depth of leadership experience and expertise in digital banking platforms.
