Project Manager – Business Development

The Administration and Compensation role at Industrial Alliance is seeking a business-oriented project manager capable of coordinating deliverables within a specific business area (contract administration, advisor compensation) without requiring training on the intricacies of the insurance sector. The client wants someone operational from day one, ready to deliver results, with a natural understanding of an insurer's back-office processes. The unspoken requirement: the candidate must already be fluent in the terminology of the AI ​​business teams and require no learning curve.

Main Responsibilities

• Coordinate all deliveries in conjunction with internal teams, business stakeholders, and involved suppliers.
  


• Monitor dependencies, timelines, and deliverables throughout the delivery cycle.
  


• Maintain seamless communication between business teams and other project stakeholders.
  


• Proactively manage risks and issues, escalating roadblocks at the appropriate time.
  


• Produce progress reports and keep stakeholders informed of project status.
  

Requirements

Desired Profile

• 8 to 10 years of project management experience, with a strong focus on business rather than technical roles.
  


• Experience in the insurance or financial sector, ideally in administration, compensation, or back-office operations.
  


• Understanding of insurer-specific processes: contract management, representative compensation, and administration of life or group products.
  


• Demonstrated ability to deliver in a context of system or administrative process transformation or modernization.
  


• PMP, MGP, or ACP certification is an asset.
  


• Bilingualism (French-English) is an asset.
