Technical Project Manager – ERP

About the role

The Technical Project Manager – ERP will lead the cross-functional delivery of Oracle ERP-related technology initiatives, including enhancements, integrations, process improvements, and modernization efforts. This role will play a key part in work associated with our transition from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) toward ERP SaaS / Cloud solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead ERP and adjacent technology projects from initiation through deployment, including planning, discovery, execution, cutover, and post-go-live hypercare.
• Partner with Functional and Technical Leads to define scope, outcomes, and measurable success criteria aligned to core business processes.
• Build and manage detailed project plans, including milestones, dependencies, resources, budgets, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Cook up multi-workstream delivery across functional, technical, integration, data, QA, and business teams.
• Serve as a critical bridge between business process owners, technical teams, and leadership.
• Facilitate decision-making with clarity around trade-offs, risks, and business impacts.
• Drive consistent project governance: weekly working meetings, status updates, RAID management, and executive steering forums.
• Apply waterfall-style planning for ERP lifecycle components where appropriate (e.g., configuration, data migration, cutover).
• Apply Agile principles (sprints, stand-ups, backlog planning) for iterative work, enhancements, and integration development.
• Coach teams on adapting delivery methodology to optimize speed, clarity, and quality.
• Act as a change agent within the PMO, helping evolve project management practices through the thoughtful use of AI and automation.
• Apply AI-enabled tools to improve planning accuracy, delivery forecasting, status reporting, risk identification, dependency tracking, and stakeholder communications.
• Experiment, standardize, and scale new ways of working that reduce manual overhead and improve signal-to-noise for delivery teams and leaders.
• Ensure readiness across testing cycles, defect triage, training, communications, and user adoption.
• Partner closely with Change and Process Owners to ensure solutions are embraced and embedded.
• Follow up with business leads post-go-live to connect improvements to measurable business value.

• Experience supporting Finance, Inventory, and/or Order Management business domains.
• Demonstrated success coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, including engineers, architects, data teams, QA, SMEs, and vendors.
• Strong discipline in planning, dependency management, RAID tracking, and executive-level communication.
• Ability to simplify complex topics, influence without authority, and move teams from ambiguity to clarity.
• Experience working effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience using AI-enabled tools to support project and program management activities (e.g., planning, analysis, reporting, risk management, or communications).

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience supporting or delivering migrations from Oracle EBS to Oracle Fusion Cloud modules.
• Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns (APIs, middleware, iPaaS), release management, and data concepts.
• Understanding of business process mapping and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Experience helping teams or PMOs adopt new tools, automation, or AI-driven ways of working.
