Join us as we change healthcare for the better.
Ocean by CognisantMD is the leading provider of EMR-integrated Patient Engagement and eReferral tools in Canada, playing a critical role in millions of patient visits and thousands of referrals every week. Our digital healthcare solutions empower patients and physicians to overcome the barriers preventing the timely delivery of healthcare services. By replacing paper forms with digital tools we give patients and providers secure ways to connect, share health information, and update patient records. Our tools:
- Empower patients to share health information with their physician before, during, and after visits, helping to ensure health records are up to date and accurate while improving patient care.
- Meet the growing demand for virtual care solutions via an online booking system and secure messaging that brings significant benefits to patients while improving clinic efficiency and reducing the need for unnecessary phone calls.
- Improve access to care by replacing faxes, calculating wait times, and reducing the time to process and access specialist referrals.
Who we need
We are hiring a Program Lead to join our Government Program Services team, working alongside business analysts and reporting directly to the VP, Business Operations.
In this role, you will work closely with key clients on new provincial roll-outs of the Ocean Platform, with a focus on Ocean eReferrals and eConsults. You will be responsible for managing these multi-stakeholder programs including performing detailed requirements analysis, documenting processes, and developing supporting materials including training content (for our Learning Management System), knowledge base articles, and job guides. You will also work very closely with the Product Management team to help inform product decisions to meet the needs of new jurisdictions.
Who you are
You are passionate about the opportunity to improve the healthcare industry. You are looking for that rare opportunity that combines digital or e-health, bridges the private and public sectors, and impacts the clinical and patient care level.

Immediate professional and emotional satisfaction. You will immerse yourself in learning about what we do, gaining an understanding of the impact we make on the lives of Canadians - established and new, young and old - as we bring an empowering service to them. Our clients have patients facing physical, mental, communication, and geographical barriers - the platform features you offer will quite literally be the difference between access to care and being left behind.

Our culture, our team
We’re a scaling company, past the startup stage and on the cusp of the next stage. We are incredibly passionate about our ability to make a difference in the lives of Canadians through our technology and we firmly believe that we can do our best work with realistic deadlines and transparent communication about where we are and what’s next for us as an organization. We understand the time it takes to revolutionize a paper-based industry and develop and release high-quality resilient, compliant, and responsive technology that is easy to use so we ensure that pace is factored into our projects and deliverables across the organization.
Our focus is your growth and professional satisfaction, resulting in clear opportunities to help us scale and be better through your ideas, and the chance to be part of projects, and try new things. We are dedicated to our team, and we strongly believe that family comes first. To that end, we strive to find opportunities to support balance in the workplace and between work and home. As part of this, we have flexible hours, lunch socials (virtual for now but some physically-distanced small gatherings too), and meeting-free Friday afternoons.
Everyone here is deeply committed to what we can do - and the potential we have to do more. As a result, we provide an opportunity for CognisantCauses, our name for passion projects in healthcare where no funding is available and a little technical expertise and time is needed to make a big difference. It’s a way to give back and to add further meaning to what you do here.
