Oracle EBS Project Manager - Integrated Planning and Delivery
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the Oracle E-Business Suite migration workstream within a large-scale enterprise ERP transformation program. This role requires a highly organized, detail-oriented project leader with demonstrated experience managing complex work breakdown structures containing 5,000 or more activities and closely tracking milestone dependencies across multiple functional workstreams. The Project Manager will own the detailed workstream schedule, maintain alignment with the integrated master program plan, and serve as the primary point of accountability for scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and delivery governance. The ideal candidate will bring strong familiarity with Oracle EBS, advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project and/or Planview, and experience coordinating large cross-functional programs involving Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Human Resources, data migration, testing, cutover, and business readiness teams. This is a project planning and delivery leadership role. It is not a technical project management, solution architecture, or hands-on configuration position. Experience supporting biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or other regulated life sciences organizations is strongly preferred.
