You are responsible for projects that are an integral part of the program in line with Desjardins's strategic plan. They can have a significant impact on an entire sector or the organization.

• Experience of multi-year project initiatives in large organizations.
• Experience with large-scale modernization projects/programs.
• Recognized project management certification (PMP).
