Job Description

You help implement business strategies and develop business solutions for various cross-sector WM/LHI and Desjardins Group initiatives, particularly in the areas of data, digital solutions, platforms and shared capacities. You lead, influence and collaborate with practitioners (promoters, business lines, enterprise architecture) on highly innovative, complex strategic transformation initiatives involving multiple sectors.
