Our Burnaby area client is a leader in the support and provision of healthcare services to the British Columbia public.

The client is seeking a Senior Project Manager on a contract basis to support the Bridging Strategy project as part of Provincial Digital Services.

Project Description:

Provincial Digital Services (PDS) delivers provincial digital health strategies and business transformations by relentlessly focusing on the end user and the end-to-end health services journey for everyone in British Columbia. We concentrate on the design and delivery of digital health tools and platforms to support the ongoing evolution of a connected health system and digitally enabled health care. By collaborating with all provincial health sector partners, we ensure an equitable approach to addressing health sector priorities.

PDS is part of the Provincial Digital Health & Information Services (PDHIS) portfolio that was formed in July 2022 to enable the BC health system more effectively digitally and virtually.  PDHIS brings together many organizational units from different parts of PHSA into one portfolio and includes a close partnership with the Ministry of Health to deliver on the BC Digital Health Strategy.

Within PDS, there are numerous initiatives that will require assistance for longer term planning and short-term execution of deliverables, as well as providing business positioning and support for future projects.

The Bridging Strategy project will develop the plan and options to secure the necessary above-allocation funding to achieve HealthLinkBC and Provincial Attachment System deliverables for FY26/27 in the absence of a final operationally sustainable Salesforce Operating Model. The project will establish and manage the FY26/27 Spending Plan (financial planning, budget allocation confirmation, forecasting, tracking actuals, etc.) based on the approved option. The project will also lead the engagement with Ministry of Health, new Connected Services BC, PHSA and the new health authority Shared Services Organization to establish and adjust to the financial and bureaucratic processes of these new organizations which  directly impact the information technology solution and applications of HealthLinkBC and Provincial Attachment system and in turn the services offered to patients and health care providers.
