Here’s your opportunity to work directly with the Head of Strategic Partnerships on Terrion’s partnership with TELUS. As the analytical and operational expert on a lean, strategic team, you'll have outsized impact: your dashboards will inform C-suite decisions, your process designs will become company standards, and your coordination will keep both Terrion and TELUS leadership aligned. This isn't a large team where you're one of many. You'll be the go-to expert.

 

Here’s the impact you’ll make and what we’ll accomplish together

 

  • Drive commercial excellence: Ensure the anchor partnership delivers maximum value through accurate billing, milestone tracking, and proactive issue resolution
  • Become a strategic partnership expert: Gain rare exposure to how complex telecom partnerships work, building skills that accelerate your career in commercial operations or strategic program leadership
  • Shape how we work: As part of a lean, high-impact team reporting to the Head of Strategic Partnerships, your analytical insights and process improvements will directly influence how Terrion operates and scales
  • Build cross-company influence: Develop a powerful network across Terrion and TELUS while mastering the art of stakeholder coordination in ambiguous, high-stakes environments

  • Monitor and analyze billing triggers, contract milestones, and performance metrics tied to the anchor agreement
  • Validate data, assumptions, escalations, and contractual obligations to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Build and maintain dashboards and analytical tools that answer leadership’s most important questions
  • Identify trends, risks, and opportunities that improve partnership performance

 

Program & Stakeholder Management:

 

  • Coordinate cross-functional activities across Terrion and TELUS teams to meet contractual commitments on time
  • Design and improve processes for contract execution, reporting, and operational delivery (many don't exist yet; you'll build them)
  • Track KPIs, SLA performance, and milestone completion, escalating issues before they become problems

 

Reporting & Governance

 

  • Maintain accurate, auditable records of billing triggers, approvals, and milestone completions
  • Prepare executive-ready materials for monthly Joint Management Committees between Terrion and TELUS leadership
  • Translate complex partnership data into actionable insights that inform strategic decisions
  • Support governance forums and executive reporting by preparing executive-ready reporting, insights, and briefing materials for governance forums and strategic reviews

What you bring

 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Economics or a related field required
  • 8+ years of experience in program management ideally within telecom, infrastructure or related sectors
  • Advanced data analysis skills, experience building dashboards and trackers

  • Strong problem-solving skills to clear roadblocks and resolve issues, especially in pressured situations
  • Proven ability to handle complex interdependencies and competing priorities while keeping teams focused and on track
  • Strong communication skills, with proven ability to translate technical information for various stakeholder audiences

  • PMP, PgMP or Agile certifications
  • Change management certification (CCMP, etc.)
