Project Manager ( 1621)

Highstreet is seeking a Project Manager to support and lead delivery of operational and ERP/HCM projects for our public sector clients. This resource must have strong communication skills, love speaking with clients, engineering, partner organizations and our executive team.
The everyday workload includes Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) engagements, PeopleSoft and E-Business Suite (EBS) initiatives, and broader legacy ERP/HCM enhancement and modernization projects. In this role, you'll coordinate project activities, manage client communication, and ensure successful execution across planning, testing, and go-live (or cutover, for on-premises and infrastructure engagements).

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, apply structured PMO processes, and help drive consistent, high-quality delivery across a mix of cloud, on-premises, and infrastructure environments.

Responsibilities:
Project Planning & Coordination
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, milestones, and deliverables across ERP, HCM, and infrastructure (OCI) workstreams.
• Align scope and requirements with Oracle Cloud, PeopleSoft, EBS, and OCI capabilities in partnership with solution architects and technical leads.
• Maintain project documentation, logs, and repository structure (RAID, RTM, agendas, testing, etc.).
• Incorporate process flow validation and transaction lifecycle checkpoints into project plans, including legacy system dependencies.
• Support onboarding, project setup, and adherence to PMO templates and processes, including those specific to public sector engagements.
Client & Stakeholder Management
• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for client communication, including public sector agency stakeholders.
• Manage expectations around timelines, deliverables, risks, and change requests.
• Lead recurring status meetings and ensure agendas and meeting minutes are posted.
Team Leadership & Collaboration
• Coordinate work across functional, technical, infrastructure, and QA team members.
• Support onshore/offshore alignment and help resolve blockers or conflicts.
• Review team progress, documentation, and performance against project expectations.
Budget & Tracking
• Monitor project budgets, burn rate, and staffing updates in partnership with project administrators.
• Support forecasting and financial reporting activities.
• Ensure testing scenarios reflect accurate transaction lifecycles and edge cases across both cloud and on-premises systems.
Risk, Issue & Change Management
• Log and track risks, issues, and action items.
• Facilitate mitigation discussions and escalate items when needed.
• Identify risks related to process breakdowns, incorrect accounting, or integration gaps across transaction flows, including legacy system constraints.
• Support the change control process and ensure proper documentation of out-of-scope work.
Testing, Cutover & Go-Live Support
• Coordinate SIT, UAT, and testing documentation across ERP, HCM, and infrastructure projects.
• Ensure test scenarios validate end-to-end transaction integrity, including accounting, approvals, integrations, and reporting outputs.
• Ensure test cases, logs, and approvals are completed and tracked.
• Support cutover planning, go-live execution, and post-go-live readiness for both cloud implementations and legacy system enhancements.
Governance & Reporting
• Provide regular project status updates using R/Y/G indicators and required client reports, including public sector-specific reporting requirements.
• Ensure compliance with Highstreet's methodology and participate in internal QA/PMO checkpoints.
• Help improve post-go-live handoff processes and lessons learned documentation.

Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, IT, Business, or related field.
• 2–5 years of project management experience, ERP, HCM projects a plus, and infrastructure implementations (cloud or on-premises).
• Experience reviewing or supporting functional design documents (FDDs), process flows, or accounting mappings.
• Strong organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience with project management tools (JIRA, MS Project, etc.).
• Ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage multiple workstreams across cloud and legacy environments.
• Highly detailed, multi-threaded, and high-energy, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Preferred Experience
• Experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), ERP systems, reporting systems, and web applications.
• Experience supporting public sector clients or government agency engagements.
• Ability to “connect the dots” between business operations, system configuration, and downstream reporting impacts.
• Familiarity with PMO governance, RAID management, and change control processes.
• PMP, CAPM, or Agile certification is a plus
