• End-to-End Delivery: Oversee the full implementation lifecycle for complex enterprise customers from initial Planning and Design through Configuration, Testing, Launch, and Hypercare.

• Stakeholder Alignment: Coordinate and align vast, cross-functional enterprise teams, including customer champions, system administrators, business leads (Legal, Security, IT, Procurement), and third-party implementation partners.
• Executive Communication: Establish a rigorous engagement cadence, facilitate steering committee meetings for enterprise clients, and provide regular strategic status updates to project sponsors and corporate executives.

• Testing Quality Control: Define clear entry and exit criteria for testing phases, oversee System Integration Testing (SIT), and support customer teams through structured User Acceptance Testing (UAT) lifecycles.
• Launch & Cutover Management: Architect detailed cutover plans, production readiness checklists, environment data cleanups, and final production sync strategies to guarantee a low-risk, clean go-live.
• Hypercare Stabilizing: Lead post-launch Hypercare operations, actively monitoring adoption, resolving deployment friction points, and managing a healthy, documented transition to steady-state ownership under Customer Success.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience leading enterprise-wide (ideally global) software deployments as a traditional Project Manager, ERP Project Manager, or PMO Lead.
• Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of large-scale enterprise financial, ERP, or P2P system implementations (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Workday, Oracle EBS, Coupa).
• Methodology Mastery: Proven track record of operating with rigorous project management methodologies, corporate governance structures, change control procedures, and risk-mitigation strategies.
• Executive Presence: Exceptional client-facing communication skills with a demonstrated ability to influence decision-making, push back constructively, manage difficult personalities, and establish executive alignment.
