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.

Coordinate deliverables between internal teams, stakeholders, and suppliers within the administration and compensation business area. Manage project timelines, dependencies, and risks while providing regular progress reports to stakeholders.
