I'm interviewing with them for another s&o role, and this is exactly my concern: that I get bored. I would specifically ask them about "program manager" activities. I personally dont like any PMO stuff to be my only 9-5 tasks! PMO comes with all activities when u r in a manager role.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
