Our project team works as a group along with key stakeholders to understand the requirements and develop solutions to determine the best way forward. The team members communicate regularly throughout the process on progress, roadblocks and issues and are able to adapt and quickly adjust as the situation changes.

- You are extremely tech-savvy, with a high degree of technical competence around web and software in general.
- You’ve got a strong sense of UI/UX design principles.
- You interact well with a team, customers and executive stakeholders.
- You are an organized and tenacious problem solver.
- You have outstanding oral and written communication skills.
- You have a good understanding of the Canadian financial industry i.e. RRSP, TFSA, Tax (or are ready to learn at a blistering pace).
- Familiarity with Agile or Lean project management techniques is highly valued but not required.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- This is a full-time position based remotely in Canada. If you are not based in Canada, please do NOT apply.
