What you can expect when joining the team

Do you enjoy taking ownership of complex customer programs, bringing multiple teams together, and turning ambitious commitments into clear, achievable plans?

As a Program Manager, you will lead some of Petal’s most strategic technology deployments for healthcare customers across Canada. These are complex, high-visibility programs involving large enterprise and public-sector clients, multiple internal teams, and solutions that may continue to evolve during delivery.

Reporting directly to the Chief Customer Officer, you will work closely with Professional Services and partner with Product, Customer Success and other teams across Petal. You will be the person who keeps the full program moving: aligning stakeholders, clarifying decisions, managing risks and dependencies, and ensuring that Petal and the customer deliver on their commitments.

In your day to day, you will: 

• Lead several customer deployment programs at different stages, from RFP and planning through delivery, go-live, and adoption;

• Turn contractual commitments and customer requirements into clear program plans, milestones, responsibilities, and success criteria;

• Coordinate internal teams and customer stakeholders, often working closely with a Program Manager or equivalent counterpart on the customer side;

• Lead customer status meetings, internal working sessions, steering committees, and executive updates;

• Maintain a clear view of timelines, scope, resources, dependencies, risks, issues, and decisions across multiple concurrent programs;

• Build trusted relationships with demanding enterprise and public-sector customers and communicate confidently with sponsors and senior leaders;

• Work closely with Product and other internal teams to identify practical ways to close product or delivery gaps while keeping customer commitments on track;

• Anticipate problems, bring forward solutions, manage escalations, and create the sense of urgency needed to keep programs moving;

• Support RFP work by helping assess requirements, plan delivery, and identify dependencies before a program begins;

• Help customers reach value quickly by driving an efficient path to deployment and adoption;

• Contribute to internal initiatives that improve program governance, delivery methods, documentation, and project management practices when capacity allows;

• Provide flexible business-hour coverage for customers across Eastern and Pacific time zones and travel occasionally for high-value workshops or customer meetings.
