Job description

Our client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead end-to-end delivery of complex enterprise technology initiatives supporting both corporate functions and IT, with a particular emphasis on Oracle and/or PeopleSoft implementations. This individual will own projects from initiation through closure, managing scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks, dependencies, vendors, and business outcomes across initiatives involving enterprise applications, ERP implementations, security, infrastructure, integrations, and other technology areas.

The ideal candidate is a highly accountable project leader with hands-on experience managing Oracle and/or PeopleSoft implementation projects who brings structure to ambiguity, communicates effectively across technical and business audiences, and drives decisions and issues to resolution. They should be comfortable managing multiple concurrent initiatives in a matrixed environment, adapting between Agile, waterfall, and hybrid approaches, and influencing cross-functional teams without relying on direct authority.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with business sponsors and technology leaders to define project objectives, scope, success measures, assumptions, constraints, and expected business outcomes.
• Help shape incoming project requests by assessing business need, value, urgency, risk, dependencies, effort, and resource requirements.
• Develop integrated project plans covering scope, schedules, milestones, critical paths, resources, budgets, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Lead and coordinate Oracle and/or PeopleSoft implementation initiatives, including requirements gathering, system configuration coordination, integrations, data migration, testing, deployment, and post-implementation stabilization.
• Partner with functional stakeholders, technical teams, and implementation vendors to ensure Oracle and/or PeopleSoft solutions align with business requirements, project milestones, and organizational objectives.
• Determine and apply the appropriate delivery methodology, including Agile, waterfall, or hybrid approaches, based on project needs.
• Incorporate security, architecture, infrastructure, data, privacy, legal, operational readiness, and support requirements into project planning.
• Lead day-to-day delivery of multiple concurrent technology initiatives, maintaining accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, and outcomes.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams spanning technology, business functions, product teams, and third-party partners to keep initiatives moving forward.
• Manage project risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAID), including escalation, change control, decision tracking, and recovery planning.
• Identify and resolve delivery impediments involving environments, access, tooling, data, security reviews, procurement, vendors, and cross-team dependencies.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies when appropriate, including planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement.
• Plan and coordinate organizational change, training, communications, cutover activities, and transition to operational support.
• Manage third-party vendors and implementation partners against statements of work, milestones, contractual commitments, and deliverables.
• Partner with appropriate stakeholders on SOWs, change orders, vendor timelines, and project-related financial considerations.
• Track project budgets, forecasts, and actuals, proactively identifying and communicating potential variances.
• Build strong relationships with sponsors and stakeholders, establish clear expectations, and manage changing priorities throughout delivery.
• Facilitate steering committees, working sessions, and decision forums that drive clear outcomes, ownership, and next steps.
• Produce clear and transparent status reporting covering progress, milestones, financials, risks, issues, dependencies, and key decisions for both project teams and executive audiences.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and use delivery metrics to improve visibility, predictability, and decision-making.
• Apply established project-management standards and governance while contributing recommendations for continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5-7 years of experience managing technology projects from initiation through completion.
• Demonstrated experience leading at least one end-to-end Oracle and/or PeopleSoft implementation, including project planning, execution, testing, deployment, and go-live support.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional teams, third-party implementation partners, and business stakeholders throughout enterprise ERP implementation projects.
• Experience delivering technology initiatives supporting corporate functions such as Finance, HR, Procurement, Legal, Marketing, or similar business areas.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects involving enterprise applications such as ERP, HCM, or CRM; cybersecurity; infrastructure/cloud; integrations; or related enterprise technologies.
• Strong project-management discipline across scope, schedule, budget, resource planning, RAID management, dependencies, change control, and status reporting.
• Experience working across Agile, Scrum, Kanban, waterfall, and hybrid delivery models.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities within a matrixed environment.
• Experience managing third-party vendors and implementation partners against statements of work and contractual deliverables.
• Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle and ability to engage effectively with technical specialists.
• Proficiency with project-management and collaboration platforms such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, Aha!, Miro, or similar tools.
• Strong Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, stakeholder-management, presentation, and facilitation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent project-management certification.
• Agile, Scrum, or SAFe certification.
• ITIL or comparable service-management knowledge.
• Experience with Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Financials, PeopleSoft HCM, or related enterprise application modules.
• Experience supporting ERP modernization, system upgrades, migrations, or integrations involving Oracle and/or PeopleSoft environments.
• Experience supporting organizational change management, including communications, training, and adoption planning.
• Experience working with distributed teams within a large, matrixed enterprise environment.
• Familiarity with modern AI and generative AI tools and an interest in applying them to improve project delivery.
• Experience contributing to the development or improvement of project-delivery standards, governance, or PMO practices.
