Uplifting Your Career at Ornge

Ready to lead projects that make a real difference?

Ornge is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Project Manager to join our growing Enterprise Project Management Office (PMO). This role is ideal for a project professional with experience leading cross-functional business, operational, healthcare, and organizational initiatives in a PMO environment.

Reporting through the PMO, you will lead complex, high-impact projects that support the evolution of Ontario's critical care transport system. These initiatives may include operational improvement, service delivery enhancement, strategic planning, healthcare partnerships, organizational effectiveness, and change management efforts that advance Ornge's mission and long-term objectives.

As a trusted project leader, you will collaborate with stakeholders across all areas of the organization to deliver enterprise-wide projects that drive measurable business outcomes. Success in this role requires strong project governance, stakeholder engagement, facilitation, and change management skills, along with the ability to navigate complex organizational environments and align diverse groups toward a common goal.

This position is best suited for a Project Manager with experience leading business and operational projects through a PMO framework, rather than managing primarily technical or software development initiatives. You will have the opportunity to influence key organizational decisions, support strategic priorities, and help shape the future of emergency medical transportation in Ontario.

If you are an agile thinker, skilled relationship builder, and confident project professional who thrives on turning strategy into action, this is your opportunity to make an impact where it truly matters.
