Technical Project Manager — Collibra Data Intelligence Platform 🔥 Top Priority

Project Overview

Supply Ontario is implementing the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform end-to-end, driving it into production at enterprise-grade quality while ensuring responsible technology adoption through architecture artefacts, ARB gates, Threat Risk Assessment, Privacy Impact Assessment, and enterprise standards.

Key Responsibilities

• owning the end-to-end delivery plan and driving the initiative to Iteration 1 production go-live and beyond;
• working backwards from the target production date to sequence development and ETL completion, integration and configuration, UAT/QA, TRA and ARB approvals, cutover and early-life support,
• producing and defending realistic, evidence-based estimates, and challenging optimistic or unsupported timelines wherever they arise;
• driving completion of critical milestones across all parties - internal teams, vendors and partners, not merely reporting on them
• ensuring full technical due diligence for responsible adoption: architecture artefacts, ARB gates, Threat Risk Assessment (TRA), security and privacy assessments, and enterprise production-readiness criteria
• ensuring the solution meets Enterprise Technology standards, policies, architectural decisions and data sensitivity requirements
• supporting the Data and Analytics team as business owners of the platform, while holding the solution to appropriate Security and Technology standards
• establishing and enforcing a single authoritative source of truth for requirements and user stories,
• operationalizing the agreed RACI and guarding accountability boundaries so responsibilities are not silently shifted
• leading vendor and partner engagement, holding them to scope, deliverables and timelines, and catching misalignment early
• reporting status, risk and required decisions honestly and clearly to senior leadership, and
• driving delivery discussions toward facts and ownership, what is missing, who owns it, when it will be resolved.
• ensure core outcome: a governed, production-ready and sustainable Collibra implementation that is delivered through clear technical project management, completed due diligence, validated readiness, and accountable transition to business and operational ownership.
• produce integrated technical project plan, milestone roadmap, sequencing dependencies, critical path, cutover approach, and early-life support plan.
• produce requirements traceability, delivery backlog, acceptance criteria, dependency map, and validated delivery scope aligned to business and technical readiness.
• produce implementation plan, delivery governance, RAID/decision logs, and executive reporting.
• configure Collibra operating model, workflows, roles, responsibilities, and access model.
• deliver metadata ingestion, catalogue, glossary, lineage, data quality, and priority-domain onboarding outputs.
• produce integration specifications, testing approach, release readiness, and production sign-off.
• conduct stakeholder engagement, communications, training coordination, readiness tracking, knowledge transfer, and transition materials to support adoption and operational handover.
• establish operational support model, support procedures, documentation, production handover package, and post-go-live stabilization tracking.
