This is a delivery-focused project management role.

• Coordinate the transition from Adaptive Planning to Oracle EPM Planning, including data migration, integrations, and reporting dependencies
• Track technical and functional deliverables and ensure design decisions and requirements receive appropriate stakeholder approval
• Lead cross-functional coordination and communication, including:
• Coordinate activities across Finance, FP&A, Accounting, IT, ERP, Data Warehouse, and reporting teams
• Facilitate project meetings, requirements discussions, status reviews, and issue-resolution sessions
• Ensure clear ownership, accountability, and timely completion of assigned tasks
• Prepare project status reports and communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and key decisions to leadership
• Escalate critical issues, resource constraints, and schedule risks as needed
• Ensure SOX compliance and control readiness, including:
• Coordinate with Finance, IT, and Compliance on SOX compliance, audit readiness, security controls, and role-based access
• Maintain appropriate documentation and approvals throughout the implementation
• Manage testing, UAT, and go-live, including:
• Coordinate system integration testing, data validation, and user acceptance testing
• Work with Finance and FP&A to establish testing schedules, acceptance criteria, and business sign-offs
• Track defects, testing progress, and issue resolution
• Coordinate cutover planning, production deployment, parallel runs, and post-go-live stabilization
• Ensure project readiness and completion of required approvals before go-live

Qualifications (Required):

• 12+ years of project management experience, preferably in enterprise financial systems implementations
• Prior experience managing at least one Oracle EPM Cloud Planning (PBCS/EPBCS) implementation
• Good understanding of Oracle EPM Planning architecture, application configuration, data integrations, calculations, security, and reporting
• Experience managing cross-functional Finance, FP&A, Accounting, and IT teams
• Experience coordinating ERP integrations, data warehouse dependencies, and financial reporting requirements
• Proven experience coordinating SIT, UAT, data reconciliation, cutover, and production deployment
• Strong project planning, risk management, issue tracking, stakeholder communication, and change management
• Ability to independently drive project execution and hold teams accountable for deliverables
• Proficiency with Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or similar project management tools
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

Experience migrating from Adaptive Planning to Oracle EPM Planning or similar financial planning platforms

Understanding of annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, and financial reporting
