Senior Program Manager
Toronto, ON, CA, M5J 2V5 Vancouver, BC, CA
Description
Join Our Team and What We'll Accomplish Together
We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to drive business integration, strategic program execution, and organizational stability across the Employer organization. This is a pivotal moment for our team—we're integrating acquired companies, scaling operations, and building a data-driven operating model. You'll be the architect of clarity and accountability during this period of growth, ensuring our highest-priority initiatives deliver measurable outcomes and the organization operates with focus, speed, and accountability.
This role sits at the center of leadership priorities and execution realities. You'll translate shifting strategic directives into clear, actionable plans; drive consistent execution across cross-functional teams; and help stabilize the organization by bringing structure to ambiguity and reinforcing a culture of accountability and data-driven decision-making.
What You'll Do
Leadership Operating Cadence & Performance Governance
Own end-to-end preparation and execution of the bi-weekly Sales Performance operating cadence (SVP/VP level), consolidating inputs across Sales, Finance, and Operations. Partner with key stakeholders to validate data, identify risks and gaps ahead of each meeting, and translate meeting outputs into actionable initiatives with clear ownership and progress tracking. Serve as the central point of coordination for Employer KPIs, partnering with leaders across Sales, Finance, and Operations to define KPI standards, track performance against targets, and maintain a clear view of organizational health and progress.
Strategic Initiative Leadership & Execution
Directly lead execution of high-priority, cross-functional initiatives including: Fee-for-Service Sales Performance & Compensation (stand up consistent reporting and align compensation structures); Consolidated Reporting Across Employer Acquisitions (partner with BI to create unified reporting across acquired entities); Time-to-Value Acceleration (redesign client implementation processes to reduce onboarding bottlenecks); and Reseller Forecasting Enhancement (improve forecasting accuracy and align inputs across Sales and CSM teams). Manage program-level tracking for all active initiatives—timelines, milestones, risks, dependencies—and proactively identify and remove blockers to maintain momentum.
Driving Focus, Clarity & Accountability
Eliminate organizational "noise" by clarifying priorities and removing low-value or duplicative work. Hold cross-functional stakeholders accountable to commitments and outcomes. Provide regular, structured updates to leadership on progress, risks, and results. Help teams execute without ambiguity or unnecessary friction.
Translating Vision to Action
Translate leadership priorities into actionable plans with defined initiatives, clear timelines, and identified owners. Work with leadership to identify and resolve areas of friction during integrations or organizational change. Bring structure and visibility to fast-moving environments where priorities shift, ensuring teams stay aligned and execution remains consistent.
