BPMA is seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Manager for a major enterprise technology modernization initiative with the County of San Diego's Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk (ARCC).

We are looking for someone who has personally led complex, multimillion-dollar enterprise implementations—not someone whose experience is primarily project coordination, Scrum facilitation, PMO reporting, or managing a small portion of a larger program.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership assignment representing the County's interests, not the software implementation vendor's.

County Government | San Diego, CA | Senior Consultant / Contract Opportunity

Company: BPM Advisors, LLC (BPMA)

Location: San Diego, California — Onsite for key activities; availability during Pacific Time business hours

Engagement: Long-term, anticipated 12-month initial term with potential annual extensions

Start: Anticipated January 2027, subject to contract award

What you will be responsible for

You will help lead the modernization of the County's legacy Property Assessment System and related initiatives, including data-center exit, cloud and infrastructure transitions, enterprise integrations, and operational readiness.

Responsibilities include

• Providing independent, owner-side leadership and oversight of multiple concurrent modernization projects.


• Managing integrated program schedules, budgets, risks, issues, dependencies, and executive reporting.


• Holding implementation vendors accountable for deliverables, milestones, contractual obligations, and corrective actions.


• Coordinating business stakeholders, technical teams, consultants, and executive leadership.


• Overseeing implementation readiness, data migration, integration, testing, training, cutover, go-live, and stabilization.


• Advising executive sponsors and steering committees on program health, major risks, and decisions.

Mandatory qualifications — ALL seven must be satisfied

These are non-negotiable requirements established by the County. Candidates who cannot document every requirement cannot be submitted for consideration.

• 10+ years of progressively responsible professional project and/or management experience, including at least 5 years working within a local government environment (city, county, or comparable local government). Federal, state, and private-sector experience does not substitute for the five local-government years.


• 5+ years leading large-scale, complex enterprise technology implementations or modernization programs with budgets of $10 million or more. An integrated program consisting of related projects may qualify if you personally led it under unified governance and an Integrated Master Schedule.


• Led project or management responsibility for at least three enterprise system implementations, involving implementation, deployment/go-live, and/or post-production stabilization.


• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple concurrent workstreams involving business stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, consultants, and executive leadership.


• Direct experience managing scope, schedules, budgets, risks, issues, decisions, dependencies, vendor performance, and executive reporting.


• Substantial experience across enterprise implementation activities such as requirements, integration, data conversion, testing, organizational readiness, training, cutover, go-live, and stabilization.


• Demonstrated project-management experience in government, public-sector, highly regulated, or comparably complex organizational environments.

Highly desirable

• County assessor, property tax, Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA), land records, or government property-system modernization experience.


• Independent, client-side oversight of major systems integrators and software implementation vendors.


• Experience transitioning mission-critical legacy or mainframe applications.


• PMP, PgMP, Agile, Scrum, or change-management credentials.


• Executive steering committee leadership and experience recovering troubled enterprise implementations.

Availability

You must be available during County business hours and able to attend onsite meetings and activities in San Diego, including executive steering meetings, vendor workshops, UAT, cutover, and go-live. After-hours support may be required during critical transitions.

This is not a remote-only engagement.
