Senior Project Manager — Backbase

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with deep expertise in leading Backbase digital banking platform initiatives for credit unions. This is a hybrid "Player-Coach" role that bridges the gap between Executive Strategy and Agile Execution.

Operating across Aequilibrium’s Four Lenses model (Strategy, Experience, Technology, and Delivery), you will be responsible for both the "What" (Product Vision & Requirements) and the "How" (Program Governance & Execution). This role is for a transformation leader who has led large-scale Backbase implementations within the credit union sector.

Who You Are

You are a rare talent who combines the analytical precision of a Senior Business Analyst with the strategic authority of a Project Manager. You understand:

The Ecosystem: Core banking integrations, middleware, digital platforms, and member-facing mobile/web workflows.
The Business: Credit union operating models, regulatory constraints (OSFI, BCFSA), and the unique "Member-First" philosophy.
The Future: You are an early adopter of AI collaboration tools to accelerate delivery, synthesize complex workstreams, and drive data-driven personalization in banking products.
The Leadership: You are a master negotiator, capable of resolving high-stakes conflicts between internal teams, external vendors, and CU executives (CIOs, COOs, CEOs).

Qualification Requirements Must-Have:

Experience: 10+ years of technology leadership in financial services, with at least 5 years specifically in Digital Banking.
CU Expertise: Direct experience working within Credit Unions or Community Banking environments is mandatory.
Platform Knowledge: Proven track record leading implementations on the Backbase digital platform.
Hybrid Skillset: Demonstrated ability to perform deep-dive Business Analysis (user stories, functional specs) while simultaneously managing high-level Program Governance.
Agile Mastery: Expert in Scrum/Kanban/SAFe and hybrid delivery models.
AI Proficiency: Active use of AI productivity tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to enhance project documentation and delivery speed.
Communication: Exceptional executive-level communication and stakeholder facilitation skills.
Education: University degree in Computer Science, Business Administration, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Compensation

The salary range for this high-impact role is CAD $120,000 – $140,000 annually, depending on the depth of leadership experience and expertise in digital banking platforms.
