Senior Project Manager, Finance Transformation (R5545)

Job Description:

What you'll do:

• Lead end-to-end project management for Oracle Fusion ERP implementations, enhancements, migrations, and transformation programs from charter through go-live and hypercare.
• Manage multiple concurrent workstreams and maintain an integrated project plan covering business, functional, technical, data, testing, and deployment activities.
• Build and maintain core project management deliverables including schedules, milestone plans, RAID logs, dependency trackers, RACI matrices, and executive status reporting.  
• Coordinate closely with business stakeholders, IT teams, systems integrators, and vendor partners to align scope, timing, deliverables, and decisions.
• Facilitate planning, requirements, fit-gap, and workstream checkpoint sessions with functional leads and business process owners.
• Drive governance routines, executive updates, decision forums, and escalation paths, while clearly communicating risks, issues, dependencies, and required actions.  
• Actively manage the project schedule, critical path, overdue actions, and cross-workstream blockers to keep delivery on track.
• Coordinate delivery activities across integrations, reporting, data migration, testing, cutover, and deployment without acting as the technical authority for solution design.
• Partner with program leadership and finance stakeholders on budget tracking, forecast updates, variance reporting, and go-live readiness activities.
• Manage vendor and systems integrator performance against plans, milestones, and contractual commitments.

Required qualifications:

• 6+ years of project management experience, including 5+ years leading ERP programs or large enterprise transformation initiatives in mid-to-large organizations.
• Demonstrated experience leading Oracle Fusion ERP projects or closely related Oracle ERP transformation programs.
• Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously while maintaining a tightly controlled integrated schedule and clear accountability across teams.
• Strong understanding of ERP delivery lifecycles, including planning, design, build, test, data migration, cutover, go-live, and stabilization.
• Ability to understand technical concepts, integration dependencies, environment readiness, data migration risks, and testing implications sufficiently to coordinate teams and drive delivery, without being the primary technical resource.
• Strong command of project management fundamentals including scope, schedule, RAID management, dependency tracking, status reporting, and governance.
• Experience working with executive sponsors, business process owners, IT leaders, vendors, and third-party systems integrators.
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and organizational skills, with the ability to drive action and elevate issues clearly and promptly.
• PMP certification or equivalent is preferred.
• We are ONLY seeking candidates local to the Bay Area (and willing to commute to San Mateo, CA). At this time, we will not be relocating candidates.

Preferred qualifications:

Experience in a PMO or enterprise transformation office supporting large cross-functional programs is preferred. Experience with Oracle Fusion workstreams such as Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Projects, HCM, or Reporting/Analytics is helpful. Additional value comes from cloud ERP transformation experience, enterprise governance exposure, and prior experience as a business analyst, functional lead, or ERP power user.
