• Ensure solutions comply with federal financial regulations and standards, including OMB, GAAP, and FASAB.

• Oversee testing, validation, audit readiness, risk mitigation, and quality assurance activities throughout the project lifecycle.

• Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams, providing direction, mentorship, and fostering a collaborative, high-performance delivery environment.

• Produce and maintain project documentation such as charters, status reports, risk logs, and post-implementation reviews.

• Track project KPIs and delivery metrics, providing insights and recommendations to support continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience serving as a Project Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite implementations, including Oracle Federal Financials.

• Excellent analytical, organizational, communication, and client-facing skills.

• Ability to attend in-person client meetings as needed; local candidates required.
