Project Manager

We are seeking a Project Manager for our client in Houston, TX. Must be a local candidate for this onsite role.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordination and Delivery Management
  • Build and maintain integrated project plans with milestones, dependencies, and critical paths (Gantt charts).
  • Track dependencies across D&A and the Project Independence Team; manage RAID logs (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies).
  • Coordinate UAT planning and execution, including test scope, entry/exit criteria, schedules, defect triage, and signoffs.
  • Represent D&A in ERP program meetings and status updates; ensure D&A timelines and dependencies are identified and managed.
  • Collaborate with the PMO on Change Management and convey detailed scope such that D&A have documented evidence of what it will have at go-live and what will be deprecated or excluded.
  • Drive delivery cadence: status reporting, standups, stakeholder readouts, and executive updates; ensure on-time delivery.
• Data and Requirements
  • Lead source-to-target data mapping from ERP modules to the Lakehouse, including lineage and transformation notes.
  • Collaborate with the PMO on RICEFW (Reports, Integrations, Conversions, Enhancements, Forms, and Workflows), specifically to understand what users will use report wise from D&A’s side vs. directly in Oracle.  And for integrations, where D&A’s DE/BI teams are concerned, ensure that D&A gets the data it needs to populate its reports and Lakehouse accordingly, with specifications on the integration points for implementation. 
  • Write detailed user stories and acceptance criteria for data engineers; maintain a prioritized, groomed backlog.
  • Partner with data engineering on integration patterns, sequencing for migration/cutover, and reconciliation plans.
  • Support data quality validations and UAT defect resolution.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of project management experience delivering complex enterprise programs, preferably ERP implementations or integrations.
• Oracle Fusion ERP experience strongly preferred (module familiarity and underlying data structures). Strong experience with another ERP (e.g., SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) considered if data/process fluency is strong.
• Demonstrated success coordinating UAT, managing cross-team dependencies, and driving delivery in cloud/data platform environments under formal change management practices.
• Hands-on experience with data mapping and integration workflows; familiarity with Lakehouse concepts.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management; able to represent D&A in executive and program forums.
• Proficiency with Project Management and collaboration tools (e.g., MS Project or Smartsheet, Jira/Azure DevOps, Confluence, PowerPoint).
• Ability to translate ERP process/data knowledge into clear stories and acceptance criteria for data engineering.
