Description

Background Information

The successful candidate will be working on project with the Provincial Common Integration Service team that is responsible for managing and delivering common service product, such as the ONE Access Gateway (OAG) and Transaction HistOry Repository (THOR). OAG is the next generation Gateway solution enabling secure access to provincial Electronic Health Record (EHR) assets for clinicians and patients. THOR is an Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana (ELK) instance, which serves as a centralized log aggregation platform to enable applications monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting. OAG with THOR enable security and auditing capability for EHR data access.
The Senior Project Manager will work with various teams within the Ontario Health and its partners and lead large, complex program/project or operational initiatives, ensuring deliverables are executed within scope, timelines and budget. The Project Manager is expected to manage multiple projects and one of the projects specifically is to migrate the OAG and THOR from on-premise data center to the cloud. 
The project assignments typically have clearly defined goals, but no (or minimal) direction with respect to what action steps to follow. The Project Manager's education, training, and previous experience will help ensure that the goal of the assignment can be clearly defined and understood (even if that means just knowing what relevant questions to ask), but the required/optional approaches to achieving the goal will often remain unclear, undefined and/or untested until the work assignment is well underway.
One specific project that the successful candidate will lead is the development, execution and migration of ONE Access Gateway and THOR solution to the Ontario Health primary Cloud Provider including management of issues, risks, Ontario Health project delivery and change management process and reporting.
