Senior Technical Project Manager - Cybersecurity

TELUS Health is empowering every person to live their healthiest life. Guided by our vision, we are leveraging the power of our leading edge technology and focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create the future of health. As a global-leading health and well-being provider – encompassing physical, mental and financial health – TELUS Health is improving health outcomes for consumers, patients, healthcare professionals, employers and employees.

Join Our Team and What We'll Accomplish Together

TELUS Health is on a mission to build a healthier future by combining technology, innovation, and compassion. The Retirement and Benefits Solutions team is transforming how organizations manage the financial well-being of their people—delivering secure, scalable, and user-focused administration platforms that support millions of members across North America.

In this role, you won't just manage a project—you'll lead a transformational compliance program that opens doors. You'll guide a large-scale pension and benefits administration platform through NIST 800-53 Moderate compliance, positioning TELUS Health to serve federal agencies and secure government contracts. This is strategic work that directly impacts the organization's growth trajectory and our ability to serve new markets.

You'll work at the intersection of security, technology, and compliance—translating complex regulatory frameworks (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, CSA STAR) into clear, actionable implementation plans. You'll partner with Engineering, Security, DevSecOps, and Compliance teams to build a compliant cloud environment from the ground up. Your leadership will ensure that security controls aren't just checked boxes—they're embedded into our architecture, our processes, and our culture.

This is hands-on strategic leadership where your expertise shapes both the technical direction and the organizational capability we build to compete in regulated markets.

What You'll Do

Your week will move between big-picture strategy and hands-on execution. Here's what a typical engagement looks like:

• NIST 800-53 Compliance Leadership
• You'll own the NIST 800-53 Moderate program from initial gap assessment through remediation and into continuous monitoring. You'll coordinate cross-functional teams—Engineering, DevSecOps, Security, and Compliance—to implement NIST 800-53 controls. You'll oversee the creation and maintenance of System Security Plans (SSPs), Plans of Actions & Milestones (POA&Ms), and supporting documentation. As the primary liaison with Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs) and federal sponsor agencies, you'll manage remediation efforts based on audit findings and establish continuous monitoring (ConMon) practices that stick.

• Multi-Framework Certification Management
• You'll lead project planning, execution, and reporting across multiple cybersecurity frameworks—with NIST 800-53 Moderate as the primary focus. You'll develop and maintain schedules, milestones, deliverables, and dependencies that keep the team aligned. You'll coordinate with internal teams to ensure controls are documented, tested, and evidenced per relevant frameworks. You'll manage documentation creation (Security Assessment Reports, incident response plans, vulnerability management records) and oversee continuous monitoring programs and periodic compliance reviews.

• Technical Architecture & Implementation
• You'll partner closely with Engineering to ensure technical architecture and security control implementations are aligned with NIST 800-53 baselines. You'll lead the design and validation of identity management, data flows, and API integrations. You'll champion vulnerability management and incident response frameworks, ensuring alignment of data protection mechanisms across the technology stack.

• Stakeholder Management & Communication
• You'll communicate progress, risks, and dependencies to executive leadership and client stakeholders regularly. You'll prepare status reports, dashboards, and presentations for senior leadership. You'll facilitate executive steering committees and governance forums. You'll liaise with external auditors, cloud service providers, and regulatory bodies. And you'll provide technical mentorship and leadership for compliance best practices across the organization.
