Job description

CompassX is a boutique business and technology consulting firm. We help Fortune 500 and high-growth clients deliver their most strategic initiatives, from enterprise transformations to digital and data-driven projects. With over 15 years of proven results, we’ve expanded across industries including financial services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, consumer products, and quick service restaurants.

We are honored to be recognized as a three-time winner of Consulting Magazine’s Best Boutique Firms to Work For, and previously recognized as a “Best Place to Work” in Southern California and one of INC.’s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

CompassX is partnering with an enterprise client on a broader AI-driven transformation initiative - connecting a growing set of applications into their existing Oracle E-Business Suite environment. We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead this initial phase, coordinating across teams and driving a structured, milestone-based delivery approach.

This will most likely be an independent contractor role (e.g., 1099) and for an initial duration of 5 months that could be extended.

What You'll Do

• Lead project management for a program connecting new and existing applications to Oracle EBS as part of a broader AI-driven transformation initiative, driving planning, scheduling, and milestone tracking through a structured, waterfall-oriented delivery approach
• Own and maintain the project plan, schedule, and RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies), keeping leadership and stakeholders informed of status at every stage
• Coordinate across distributed teams, including counterparts based in Europe, to keep work aligned across regions and time zones
• Manage scope, timeline, budget, and stakeholder communication through the initial :5-month phase of the program, including formal status reporting and steering committee updates
• Facilitate project governance — status meetings, milestone reviews, change control, and sign-offs — keeping the program moving through defined phases and gates
• Work closely with technical leads and client stakeholders to keep delivery on track, resolve blockers, and surface risks early before they threaten scope or timeline
• Manage change requests and scope changes through a formal, documented process appropriate to a waterfall delivery model
• Support resource planning and coordination across workstreams, ensuring the right people are engaged at the right phases of the program

What You'll Bring

• Proven project/program management experience on ERP integration or connectivity programs, ideally involving Oracle EBS
• Strong command of waterfall-style project delivery - structured phases, formal milestones, and disciplined scope, schedule, and budget management
• Solid grounding in core PM fundamentals: project planning, risk and issue management, stakeholder management, status reporting, and change control
• Excellent communication skills - comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and leadership, and translating technical progress into business-relevant updates
• Experience at a senior/experienced level - comfortable owning a program independently rather than needing significant oversight
• Fortune 500 client experience, whether as a career consultant or as an independent contractor
• Based on the East Coast, ideally able to co-locate with the team in the Atlanta area
• PMP certification or equivalent formal project management training is a plus, though not required if experience is strong
• Experience coordinating geographically distributed teams across the US and Europe specifically
• Exposure to programs involving application integration, middleware, or connecting modern applications into legacy/core enterprise systems
• Familiarity with AI-driven transformation initiatives or programs modernizing how enterprise systems interoperate

Our consultants say CompassX is a place where they can truly find their own path. As part of a smaller firm, they see the impact of their work, have an identity, and know their voice matters. They value the freedom to take the reins of their careers, shape their client work, and maintain a direct line to leadership.

With CompassX’s focus on serving local Southern California clients, consultants not only build lasting relationships but also see the results of their work in the communities where they live.

At CompassX, you won’t just follow a path - you’ll create one.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.

The posted compensation range is provided as an annualized equivalent for pay transparency purposes. Final compensation will be structured as an hourly rate or other contract-based arrangement and will be determined based on factors including experience, skills, qualifications, scope of work, engagement type, market conditions, and business needs.

Currently, this role will most likely be as an hourly contractor and will be for an initial 5 months with a view to extending.
