This role will serve as a primary point of coordination between internal stakeholders, Oracle, vendors, and the selected System Integrator.

• Manage project scope, schedule, resources, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, and deliverables.

• Coordinate activities across multiple technical, functional, utility, and IT workstreams.

• Facilitate communication among project teams, subject matter experts, vendors, System Integrators, and executive stakeholders.

• Identify cross-team dependencies and proactively resolve issues that could impact project delivery.

• Maintain project risk and issue logs and escalate critical concerns through established governance channels.

• Provide regular project status reporting to stakeholders, steering committees, and senior leadership.

• Develop and maintain project documentation, including project charters, schedules, resource plans, RACI matrices, decision logs, status reports, and governance materials.

• Ensure project artifacts are accurate, complete, and maintained within O365 and SharePoint Online.

• Oversee functional and technical testing, QA activities, defect tracking, and enhancements using Azure DevOps.

• Coordinate organizational change activities and identify potential adoption or implementation blockers.

• Manage System Integrator and vendor performance against contractual milestones, deliverables, schedules, and dependencies.

• Facilitate resolution of issues between internal teams, Oracle, vendors, and the System Integrator.

• Lead cutover and transition planning to ensure operational teams are prepared to support the upgraded environment.

• Coordinate development of a post-upgrade cloud-readiness assessment evaluating considerations for future modernization.
