Our team and what we’ll accomplish together
We are looking for a project management professional who thrives in a fast-paced, complex environment and focuses on delivering exceptional results for clients. Joining our TELUS Security Alarm Monitoring (Smart Security and Automation) team means becoming part of a group that thrives on purpose, collaboration, and impact.
Our Operations unit protects lives and property across Canada, 24/7, delivering operational excellence across all lines of business. You’ll be part of an operations center that oversees enablement, training, change management, reliability, and transformation, while leading large-scale operational improvements, system migrations, and transformative tool deployments to reinforce our security mandate.
You’ll work alongside passionate experts who combine operational depth with forward-thinking creativity. We bring together the stability of a national operation with the agility of a problem-solving hub, where ideas are valued and learning is constant.
The ideal candidate is a trusted project leader with hands-on experience managing operational improvements and transformation programs. You excel at connecting business and technical stakeholders, translating complex requirements into actionable plans, and applying proven change management expertise to ensure end-user success. With a calm, collaborative leadership style, you anticipate risks, defuse resistance, and keep teams focused on delivering results.
What you’ll do
- Lead end-to-end project execution and delivery of a portfolio, ensuring successful outcomes while keeping stakeholders consistently informed.
- Partner with diverse teams across our TELUS team to gather requirements and ensure no detail is overlooked.
- Translate concepts into compelling narratives and visual presentations for diverse audiences, incorporating storytelling to enhance understanding and engagement.
- Drive stakeholder engagement, governance frameworks, and decision-making, balancing competing priorities, making trade-offs, and guiding stakeholders under constraints.
- Proactively manage risks and dependencies, identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential issues to maintain project momentum.
- Coordinate resources and inter-team handoffs, ensuring seamless collaboration across multiple teams and functions.
- Build, maintain, and track project artifacts and performance metrics, including workback schedules, risk & issue logs, action logs, and KPIs, enabling progress tracking, data-driven adjustments, and clear reporting.
- Conduct post-implementation evaluation and lessons learned, capturing insights to improve future projects and processes.
- Handle stakeholder escalations and conflict resolution, facilitating consensus and maintaining alignment on project goals.
- Apply change management expertise to prepare end-users for new technology, working closely with training and change management teams.
- Develop comprehensive project and product launch strategies that drive adoption and reinforce operational success.
- Leverage strong communication and negotiation skills to secure alignment and buy-in on project strategy and execution.
Advanced knowledge of English is required because you will most of the time interact in English with internal parties (colleagues, internal partners, stakeholders, etc.); and work with IT tools whose interface is only accessible in English as part of this position's main responsibilities given its national scope.
