Project / Position Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to provide leadership across this lab transformation effort. The PM will focus on orchestrating the work required to move the organization toward its future lab state, aligning stakeholders, managing interdependencies, and ensuring that legacy solution transitions are delivered in a way that supports broader strategic outcomes rather than being treated as isolated technical activities. Work closely with Client leadership, clinical and operational partners, regional health authorities, vendors, and Ministry of Health stakeholders to plan and manage timelines, risks, and decision points across the lab services landscape.

• Coordinate with business, clinical, and technical stakeholders across BC Health Organizations to validate scope, readiness, and cutover activities.
• Oversee delivery of decommissioning workstreams (e.g., application retirement, data retention/archiving, interface and integration changes, access removal, vendor offboarding, infrastructure teardown, and operational handover).
• Manage risks and continuity planning to ensure no unintended disruption to downstream systems, reporting, or patient/clinical workflows.
• Support procurement/vendor management activities as required (RFP and SOW coordination, deliverable acceptance, and invoice validation).
• Develop and execute stakeholder communications, including change impacts, timelines, and readiness requirements.
• Governance cadence, meeting materials, and weekly/bi-weekly executive status reports.
• Data disposition and retention plan aligned with applicable policies (including records management, privacy, and security requirements).
• Operational transition/handover package and closure report (lessons learned, final budget/schedule variance, and sign-offs).

• Education/credentials: Relevant post-secondary degree/diploma and project management certification (e.g., PMP) or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• BC Health sector experience: Demonstrated familiarity and experience delivering initiatives within the British Columbia health sector (e.g., PHSA, FHA, regional Health Authorities, Ministry of Health, Shared Services…etc).
• Project leadership: Minimum 10+ years’ experience leading large-scale, complex projects/programs, including senior stakeholder reporting and executive-level governance.
• Decommissioning / transition experience: Proven experience planning and executing application/system decommissioning, service transitions, or major technology retirements.
