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.

Leading the way in modernizing City of Toronto services via strategic investment, digital transformation and IT systems management, our Technology Services Division partners and collaborates with all City divisions (some with their own in-house IT teams), to deliver innovative IT business solutions and a secure, reliable IT infrastructure in support of City programs and services. As an experienced Project Manager, Technology Services, you\'ll play a key role within the Division by providing direction, leadership and guidance to project teams and managing the design, integration and implementation of solutions that support the organization and system initiatives. At the same time, your \'big picture\' focus will enable you to identify and develop cross-divisional initiatives to produce synergies and economies of scale.

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. This will include determining project requirements, conducting research and evaluations, obtaining all approvals and signoffs, and developing, managing, and reporting on detailed project plans of varying levels of complexity.

This all-encompassing project management role will see you leading, participating in, overseeing, or carrying out the preparation of project budgets and providing financial management such as sole source requests, contract negotiations, leasing agreements, business cases, and feasibility and cost/benefit analyses.

A certified Project Management Professional, you\'ll confidently lead, facilitate, and contribute to the design, creation, development and sustainment of corporate standards for Technology Services, including formalized project management methodology, change management, application development and migration, as well as oversee, participate in, or support project staff recruitment, training and supervision. Your technical expertise will prove equally valuable as you inform and educate senior managers, business users and technology peers on technology trends, and the effective use of business and technology solutions and information management.
