The Enterprise System Project Manager applies advanced technical project management frameworks and methods in conjunction with Campus and UCSF Health objectives to plan and execute projects in the enterprise administrative application domain (ERP and Web Systems). The Project Manager is an experienced technical/functional professional who can resolve highly complex issues in which analyzing situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. The Project Manager determines methods, techniques and evaluation criteria to obtain results, and manages projects of broad and diverse scope, size, impact, budget and/or project team size, with considerable impact to the organization.

The person in this role will be accountable for ensuring the project meets agreed upon scope, cost, schedule, and quality measures.

The position requires extensive Oracle Cloud systems experience, a thorough understanding of the interdependencies among systems and processes, knowledge of higher-education and medical entities' financial and administrative needs, and strong leadership, communication, presentation and project management skills to identify and resolve issues, develop deliverables and timelines, manage stakeholder expectations, and handle post deployment adjustments
