Project Program Mgmt. Senior Specialist

IT Project Manager

Lead multiple simultaneous enterprise IT projects supporting a large-scale transformation, with accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, stakeholder alignment, and successful delivery. The role requires strong matrix leadership, executive communication, vendor management, and hands-on project governance across complex legacy-to-SAP implementations.

Initiate, plan, execute, control, and close multiple concurrent IT projects, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to agreed quality and performance targets. Develop and maintain detailed project scope, schedules, critical-path plans, budgets, forecasts, resource plans, and delivery milestones; track progress and drive corrective actions when required.

Lead greenfield non-SAP-to-SAP conversion initiatives within a complex legacy application ecosystem, including coordination of a high volume of RICEFW objects, integrations, dependencies, and implementation activities. Create, execute, and manage cutover and deployment planning for 50+ integrations and broader digital transformation / ERP implementation activities.

Lead cross-functional technical and functional teams in a matrixed environment, including internal resources, business stakeholders, and external System Integrator partners, often without direct authority. Manage project governance activities including risk and issue management, feasibility and impact assessments, change control, SDLC documentation, implementation readiness, training coordination, and interdepartmental communications.

Manage project financials, including month-over-month forecast versus actuals, budget controls, vendor financials, scope management, and adherence to applicable SOW and contractual terms. Provide clear program status reporting and executive-level presentations; facilitate stakeholder decisions, escalate risks, and drive timely actions to remove or materially reduce delivery risk. Use Agile delivery practices and Azure DevOps (ADO) to support planning, tracking, collaboration, and delivery governance. Act as a change champion and problem solver, making sound decisions in a fast-moving environment where complete information may not always be available.
