On behalf of our client, Affinity is seeking a treasury-savvy Project Manager to lead the delivery of a complex Treasury Management System (TMS) implementation supporting a multi‑billion‑dollar debt portfolio. This is a highly visible, hands-on engagement partnering directly with senior Treasury & Finance leadership and coordinating across a system integrator (SI), the TMS software vendor, and multiple upstream/downstream enterprise platforms.
The successful consultant will bring deep familiarity with treasury and debt operations, confidently bridge business and technology teams, and drive end-to-end execution across integrations, data conversion, testing, and go‑live readiness. This is a part-time contract role based in Toronto, Canada, aligned to the program timeline.
Responsibilities
- Lead day-to-day delivery of the TMS implementation technology workstream, partnering closely with the VP, Treasury & Capital Markets and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Establish and run workstream governance: operating cadence, status reporting, RAID (risks/issues/actions/decisions), escalation paths, and executive-ready communications.
- Own and maintain an integrated project plan spanning treasury domains (liquidity, debt operations, payments, risk/hedging) and all system integrations, dependencies, and critical path.
- Serve as the primary coordination point with the system integrator and TMS vendor, tracking deliverables, timelines, scope alignment, and quality of outputs.
- Manage SOW deliverables and change control with SI/vendor partners, including intake, impact assessment, approvals, and documentation of changes.
- Facilitate cross-functional requirements and solution alignment—translating treasury and banking needs into actionable delivery tasks for technical teams.
- Coordinate end-to-end integration activities across key enterprise platforms (e.g., property/accounting, corporate ERP, deal management, planning/forecasting, and document workflow tools).
- Drive integration planning and execution: interface design, mapping specifications, security/access requirements, and testing coordination with Enterprise Architecture and integration SMEs.
- Plan and coordinate data readiness activities: profiling, cleansing, extraction, transformation, validation, and load across multiple source systems.
- Coordinate and manage UAT execution: test planning, test case readiness, environment coordination, defect triage, prioritization, and remediation tracking.
- Oversee cutover planning and execution: runbooks, reconciliation steps, fallback planning, go/no-go criteria, and production readiness checkpoints.
- Maintain continuous visibility into how property-level cash flows, debt facilities, and capital structures drive treasury reporting and integration requirements.
- Identify and remove roadblocks across teams—especially where business process design intersects with system configuration and data constraints.
- Monitor resource demand and capacity across SMEs, ensuring timely engagement and minimizing bottlenecks in delivery.
- Stand up the post–go-live support model: hypercare approach, ownership transitions, knowledge transfer, and operational handover to BAU teams.
- Support change management and training coordination to drive adoption across Treasury and Finance users.
- Build repeatable operating tools (templates, trackers, checklists) that improve delivery quality and accelerate future enhancements.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of project management experience delivering enterprise finance, treasury, or accounting technology programs with multiple stakeholders and complex dependencies.
- Demonstrated delivery of at least one TMS or debt/loan management implementation (e.g., Kyriba, ION/Wallstreet Suite, FIS, or comparable platforms); related implementations (planning/forecasting, loan management) considered.
- Strong working knowledge of treasury operations, including cash & liquidity management, banking connectivity, and payment processes.
- Hands-on understanding of debt portfolio operations (facilities/tranches, drawdowns/repayments, compliance tracking, covenant monitoring, and reporting).
- Familiarity with interest rate risk, hedging concepts, and financial instrument/accounting considerations (e.g., hedge documentation and effectiveness considerations).
- Experience coordinating multi-system integrations in finance environments, including data mapping, reconciliation, and end-to-end testing across interfaces.
- Practical exposure to enterprise platforms commonly found in real estate and corporate finance stacks (e.g., property/accounting systems, ERP/GL, deal management, planning tools, and e-signature/document workflows).
- Proven ability to run UAT cycles and defect management processes, including triage, prioritization, and vendor accountability.
- Strong competency in data conversion and migration activities (extraction, transformation, load, validation, and control totals).
- Comfortable partnering with Enterprise Architecture / Integration teams on patterns, security, access, and data governance requirements.
- Strong vendor/SI management skills: deliverable tracking, issue escalation, negotiation of commitments, and scope/change discipline.
- Exceptional communication skills—able to produce clear written updates and facilitate discussions with audiences ranging from SMEs to executive leadership.
- A “bridge-builder” mindset: able to translate business needs into delivery-ready work packages and align technical outcomes to operational reality.
- High ownership and adaptability—comfortable operating in ambiguity as program details evolve, while still driving structure and momentum.
- Experience in real estate or asset management environments supporting multi-currency operations and geographically distributed stakeholders is a strong asset.
- PMP or equivalent credential preferred (or demonstrated equivalent project delivery rigor); domain expertise in treasury/debt operations is weighted most heavily.
Top Skills Necessary
- 5+ years leading enterprise finance/treasury implementations with end-to-end ownership of integrated plans, RAID, governance, and executive reporting.
- Delivery experience on 1+ TMS or debt/loan management system implementations, including configuration oversight, UAT leadership, cutover readiness, and hypercare transition.
- Proven capability coordinating multi-platform integrations and data conversion (mapping, ETL coordination, reconciliation/control totals) across 3+ interconnected systems in a finance environment.
- Strong SI/vendor management: SOW deliverable tracking, change control, issue escalation, and measurable accountability to timelines and quality.
- Demonstrated treasury domain depth across liquidity, debt operations, and risk/hedging sufficient to translate functional needs into technical delivery tasks without heavy supervision.
