This is where you come in, as a Project Manager, you'll drive a variety of high-impact operational and investment projects across Article, from product commercialization to tech upgrades, to ensure on-time, in-full delivery.

Why We Need You:

In a year, you’ll be proud to say you’ve successfully delivered key cross-functional projects on time and in full, built resilient root-cause prevention pathways, and helped refine PMO governance processes to cut down low-value administrative overhead.

About the PMO team:

You’ll be joining our dynamic PMO team, reporting directly to the Manager. We operate as consultative internal delivery partners across Article, embedding directly with project owners in Product Development, Digital Merchandising, Technology/Engineering, and Operations. Through our structured service model, we guide stakeholders from initial project scoping, cost estimation, and service-level agreements to active replanning, root-cause diagnostics, and workflow automation using tools like Wrike.

Deliver expert consultation on project initiation, scope definition, deliverables, costs, service levels, and feedback mechanisms.
Proactively detect upstream delays early to prevent and mitigate unexpected timeline slippage.
Execute rapid root-cause analyses when issues arise, leading replanning efforts and corrective action plans with internal teams.
Assess and mitigate project risks early, constructively challenging assumptions and managing trade-offs across schedule, scope, and resources.

About this role

Article's PMO team is looking for someone to shepherd high-stakes projects from conception through delivery—whether that's launching new furniture lines, rolling out tech infrastructure, or restructuring internal operations. You'd work across Product, Engineering, Digital Merchandising, and Operations, acting as a trusted delivery partner who brings clarity to ambiguous initiatives, spots risks early, and keeps stakeholders aligned on what's actually happening in real time. The role demands someone equally comfortable with spreadsheets and difficult conversations: you'll need to read variance data, challenge assumptions constructively, and guide teams through replanning when things slip.

This is a fit if you have two to five years managing diverse projects (product launches, tech implementations, operational transformations) and you're genuinely skilled at influencing people across functions without formal authority. You should be analytical enough to spot patterns in project health metrics, systems-minded enough to build structure where none exists, and pragmatic about trade-offs between scope, schedule, and resources. Familiarity with Wrike or similar tools and grounding in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies matters. A degree in business or operations and a PMP or Agile cert would strengthen your candidacy, though they're not deal-breakers.

Article offers $92,000–$107,000 depending on your background, plus a 4% RRSP match, performance bonuses tied to company goals, 15 vacation days, extended health coverage, and hybrid flexibility (three days in Vancouver's office, ability to work remotely globally for up to three weeks). You'd report to the PMO Manager and work in a structured but collaborative environment designed to keep the company scaling without losing its customer focus.
