Overview

The Municipal Government Client of TEKsystems is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the implementation and expansion of customer-facing transit technology solutions involving third-party partners, application integrations, and API-enabled service delivery.

The successful candidate will manage projects that enable external organizations to integrate with OC Transpo technology platforms, including barcode and ticketing-related capabilities. This role requires a combination of project leadership, stakeholder engagement, vendor coordination, technology implementation, and operational readiness expertise.

This is not a traditional infrastructure or PMO role. The ideal candidate will have experience leading technology implementations involving external organizations, digital platforms, application integrations, APIs, payment or transaction-based systems, and customer-facing solutions.

• Manage project scope, budget, schedule, risks, issues, dependencies, and reporting.
• Coordinate technical integration activities between City systems and external partner organizations.
• Facilitate stakeholder engagement across business, technology, operations, procurement, legal, finance, and vendor teams.
• Manage implementation activities involving APIs, application integrations, and third-party technology providers.
• Coordinate vendor and partner onboarding activities.
• Support governance, decision-making, and executive reporting processes.
• Lead pilot programs, testing initiatives, deployment planning, and operational readiness activities.
• Ensure successful transition of implemented solutions into ongoing business operations.
• Develop and maintain project documentation, status reports, RAID logs, and implementation plans.
• Coordinate communications among internal teams, external partners, and solution providers.
• Support contract-related discussions and partner implementation agreements where required.
  
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years of Project Management experience leading complex technology initiatives.
• Proven experience implementing new technology solutions from planning through deployment.
• Demonstrated experience managing enterprise technology projects involving multiple stakeholders and vendors.

• Strong risk management, governance, reporting, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to manage vendor relationships and external partner engagements.

• Customer onboarding programs.
• External partner onboarding initiatives.
• SaaS solution implementations.

• Customer-facing technology solutions.
• Payment processing platforms.
• Transaction processing systems.
• Ticketing systems.
• Barcode-enabled solutions.
• Transportation or transit technology environments.
