About the Job

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to own program delivery across our ERP/Oracle technology team. This role is accountable for the full lifecycle of ERP initiatives, from initiation through closure ensuring scope, schedules, and stakeholders stay aligned as we move at speed. The ideal candidate turns complexity into clarity and drives outcomes independently. You identify ambiguity, establish structure, and move initiatives forward without waiting for perfect direction. You don't need to be an ERP developer or technical architect, but you're technically fluent enough to coordinate effectively with functional analysts, developers, integration teams, security teams, vendors, and business stakeholders. We're moving fast to deliver software that matters. If you thrive in high-tempo environments and want your work to have real-world impact, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Manage scope, schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, and action items with proactive follow-through and escalation when blockers arise
• Ensure every initiative has clear objectives, an owner, requirements, acceptance criteria, documentation, and completion criteria
• Manage multiple concurrent ERP initiatives with competing priorities

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work closely with Finance, Accounting, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain ERP teams to translate business priorities into organized, executable technical work
• Coordinate across business process owners, ERP functional teams, technical development teams, integration teams, security/access teams, external vendors, and leadership
• Lead working sessions, status meetings, planning sessions, and decision-making forums
• Maintain proactive communication with stakeholders, ensuring they have what they need to make decisions

Work Management and Backlog Ownership

• Maintain the ERP team's work-management system and program backlog, ensuring items have accurate priorities, owners, status, timelines, dependencies, supporting documentation, and next steps
• Support backlog hygiene and prioritization, and produce status reports and executive summaries
• Keep current with project documentation and ensure Jira reflects accurate project status
• Interface with vendors on scheduling, deliverables, and contract alignment (non-budgetary)

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of project or program management experience, including meaningful experience supporting ERP systems, enterprise applications, or technical business systems
• Relevant experience with an enterprise ERP platform -- Oracle Fusion experience preferred; experience with another large-scale platform such as SAP is also relevant
• Understanding of how ERP technology supports Finance, Accounting, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain business functions
• Strong written and verbal communication, including executive-level status reporting
• Strong organization, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate independently
• Ability to identify ambiguity, establish structure, and drive decisions without waiting for perfect direction
• Hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP or comparable project/program-management certification
• Experience in fast-paced technology, manufacturing, aerospace, or defense environments
