Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Project Manager IV - Implementation Lead based in the United States.

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex, cross-functional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations and strategic IT initiatives. In this role, you will oversee projects throughout their lifecycle, from planning and design through execution, deployment, and closure. You will coordinate internal technical teams, external implementation partners, and senior stakeholders to ensure delivery remains aligned with business objectives, contractual commitments, and technical standards. You will also manage schedules, resources, risks, dependencies, and governance activities while driving accountability and transparency. Working with significant autonomy, you will translate complex technical and operational challenges into actionable decisions. This is an opportunity to contribute to high-profile enterprise modernization initiatives in a structured, quality-focused environment.

Accountabilities

Responsibilities

• Implementation partner and vendor oversight: Monitor external implementors against contractual scope, deliverables, schedules, methodologies, and statements of work. Oversee discovery, design, configuration, testing, training, cutover planning, and knowledge transfer activities. Validate project documentation and elevate performance, scope, delivery, and contractual concerns to the appropriate leadership.
• Internal team and resource coordination: Coordinate technical and business teams, including Technical, DMI, BMS, and IDMS groups, to align activities with project objectives and timelines. Clarify deliverables, dependencies, deadlines, and resource commitments while monitoring workloads and forecasting capacity needs.
• Project planning and controls: Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, scope matrices, RAID logs, action trackers, and resource plans. Review schedule quality, validate task dependencies, produce rolling two-to-six-week forecasts, assess critical‑path impacts, and coordinate corrective actions.
• Governance and risk management: Identify, track, mitigate, and elevate project risks and issues across internal teams and external partners. Facilitate decision‑making forums, monitor decision timelines, and prepare status reports, Steering Committee updates, milestone‑readiness reviews, and program‑level reporting.
• Stakeholder communication: Serve as the primary coordination point between implementation partners, business stakeholders, technical teams, and leadership. Facilitate meetings, document decisions, track action items, and maintain transparent communication about progress, milestones, dependencies, and risks.
• Contractual alignment and quality assurance: Monitor compliance with statements of work, contracts, and RFP commitments. Define and document acceptance criteria, coordinate deliverable review and validation cycles, and elevate contractual, quality, scope, or compliance concerns to the relevant authorities.
• Change management and project closure: Support organizational adoption activities, lessons learned, project documentation, knowledge transfer, handoffs, and formal project closure.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree and at least 8 years of management experience, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience.
• Demonstrated expertise leading large, high‑profile projects or processes with tight deadlines and minimal management oversight.
• Strong organizational, leadership, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to anticipate challenges and resolve issues before they become recurring problems.
• Experience coordinating cross‑functional teams, external vendors, senior stakeholders, and multiple project dependencies.
• Strong knowledge of project planning, scheduling, resource management, risk mitigation, governance, and performance reporting.
• Familiarity with software quality assurance principles; knowledge of ASME Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA‑1) standards is relevant.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical and business issues into clear recommendations and executive‑level decisions.
• The ability to facilitate project meetings, build consensus, encourage collaboration, and maintain accountability across teams.
• Strong self‑motivation, sound judgment, and the ability to manage competing priorities independently.
• The physical ability to perform the essential functions of the role, including extended computer use, occasional bending, kneeling, and reaching, regular handling of objects weighing up to 10 pounds, and occasional lifting of heavier objects. The role also requires the ability to travel by vehicle or aircraft and safely operate a motor vehicle.
• Successful completion of pre‑employment background checks and drug screening.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy HSPD‑12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential, including successful completion of the required federal background investigation.
• REAL ID Act‑compliant documentation at the time of hire and no records that would prevent access to Department of Energy sites.
• Compliance with applicable federal controlled‑substance requirements. Cannabis use, possession, or distribution is prohibited under the federal contract, regardless of state law. Pre‑employment screening includes cannabis testing, and a positive result will disqualify applicants.

Preferred Qualifications

• Current Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
• Experience managing the implementation of PeopleSoft ERP software and the OpenText product suite.
• Experience across software and IT development lifecycles (SDLC), including both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
• At least 3 years of experience working in an Agile development environment.
