Senior Project Manager

Your Opportunity: If you have ever wanted to make a difference for young cancer patients in Alberta, here is your opportunity. As the Senior Project Manager you will support the design and implementation of a new Oncofertility Preservation Program (OPP). Cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can harm reproductive organs and cause permanent infertility. Saving eggs, sperm, or reproductive tissue before treatment protects future family-building choices and helps survivors have a better quality of life after beating cancer. Currently, the cost of fertility preservation is a significant barrier. In April of 2026, the Government of Alberta announced new funding to mitigate these financial barriers, enabling more cancer patients to participate in fertility preservation. As the Project manager, you will provide project management services and expertise within Cancer Care Alberta (CCA) and across the cancer ecosystem to plan, implement, monitor, and ensure sustainability of the new Oncofertility Preservation Program (OPP). Working with Fertility experts in Alberta and key stakeholders in CCA, Pediatric Oncology, as well as with malignant Hematology programs outside of CCA, the Senior PM will deliver an integrated OPP that: Provides timely fertility and reproductive risk counselling related to predicted cancer treatment toxicity. Facilitates timely referrals to a fertility clinic in Alberta. Mitigates financial barriers to access fertility preservation services, and Provides navigation and emotional support for cancer patients. The Senior PM works with a high degree of independence, with guidance from the provincial Oncofertility Working group and direction from the OPP steering committee. This position requires occasional provincial travel and opportunities to work in-person with collocated teams. Description: The Senior Project Manager, Oncofertility Preservation Program (OPP) will provide project management services and expertise within Cancer Care Alberta (CCA) and across the cancer ecosystem to plan, implement, monitor, and ensure sustainability of a new Oncofertility Preservation Program (OPP) for eligible cancer patients so that they can receive timely, equitable access to fertility risk assessment, counseling, and preservation options prior to cancer treatment initiation.
