We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead internal project coordination for a long-term contract opportunity based in San Jose, California. This role will guide cross-functional planning, governance, and execution throughout a multi-month enterprise implementation of Coupa, ensuring teams stay aligned and delivery remains on track. The position works closely with internal stakeholders, external implementation partners, and connected platform teams to support a successful rollout and post-launch stabilization.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and manage the internal project roadmap, tracking timelines, dependencies, and key milestones across the full implementation lifecycle of Coupa.

• Establish clear ownership across business and technical teams, confirming resource commitments and keeping stakeholders accountable for deliverables.

• Monitor project risks, open issues, and key decisions, driving early resolution and escalating matters with practical recommendations when needed.

• Coordinate activities across Procurement, Finance, IT, Operations, Legal, and external partners to keep workstreams synchronized.

• Prepare executive-ready updates for leadership forums and governance groups, presenting status, progress, and critical actions in a concise format.

• Support alignment between parallel platform initiatives, including integration points involving Coupa, contract lifecycle management, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.

• Partner with internal project management team members to strengthen delivery practices, contribute to reusable standards, and capture lessons learned.

• Help maintain delivery discipline through go-live and hypercare, ensuring internal teams are prepared for launch and stabilization activities.

• 8+ years of enterprise project management experience, including ownership of at least one end-to-end implementation in procure-to-pay, spend management, or a related enterprise platform environment.

• Experience with Coupa implementations is preferred.

• Proven ability to manage consulting firms or system integrators effectively, with experience driving accountability for scope, schedule, and budget.

• Hands-on experience with integration-focused project workstreams; exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is strongly preferred.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to build trust across field-based operations and corporate business functions.

• Project management certification such as PMP, or equivalent experience demonstrating structured delivery leadership.

• Ability to work on-site in San Jose, California within a hybrid working model.

• Background in waste management, logistics, industrial services, or other operations-heavy industries is a plus.
