tessera-labs - Oracle Technical Project Manager — E-Business Suite and Fusion

Remote in the U.S. - Hybrid3d ago

Requirements

• Employment type: Long-term contract, engaged directly or through a staffing partner. • 12+ years in project or program management, including at least three full-lifecycle Oracle ERP implementations as project manager — covering both Oracle E-Business Suite (R12.x) and Oracle Fusion Cloud, at least one of each. • At least one engagement where the customer moved to Oracle from a different ERP, such as SAP ECC, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft or Infor. • Hands-on experience managing technical deliverables on Oracle implementations: RICEFW inventories, functional and technical specifications, configuration migration, data conversion mock cycles, integrations, test cycles and cutover runbooks. • Working knowledge of Oracle delivery methods — Oracle Unified Method (OUM) for EBS and Oracle’s cloud implementation approach for Fusion — and of the Fusion quarterly update cycle and Oracle Support service request management. • Practical, everyday fluency with AI: using generative AI and agentic tools in your own work, and experience — or a clear point of view — on planning and governing delivery where AI produces part of the work. • Strong commercial and governance discipline: budgets, burn and forecast, change control, RAID management and steering committees. • Senior client-facing presence: able to hold a steering committee, deliver bad news early and keep the relationship. • Proven ability to run several engagements at once without losing control of any of them. • Proven ability to learn a new AI platform quickly and become the person others ask. You will be expected to reach real fluency in the Tessera platform within your first months. • Excellent verbal and written business English, with strong presentation ability to both business and technical audiences. • Experience leading distributed (onshore, nearshore and offshore) delivery teams, with strong asynchronous communication discipline. • Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • Who This Role Is Not For • If your project management stops at the plan and the status report, this is not the role — you will be expected to understand and manage the technical deliverables themselves. If you have run ERP programs but never an Oracle implementation through cutover, you will find the learning curve steep on our timelines. If you are sceptical of AI or prefer to keep it at arm’s length, you will struggle in a delivery model where AI agents produce a large share of the work. And if you want one long program with a scope someone else agreed, you will find several short, high-pressure engagements uncomfortable. • A technical or functional background in Oracle before moving into project management — for example as a developer, DBA, data conversion lead or module consultant. • Experience running proofs of value or pilot engagements with defined success criteria and measured outcomes. • Experience with AI or automation tooling in ERP delivery — code generation, test automation, data quality or documentation tools — and with measuring its impact. • Agile or hybrid delivery experience, and tooling such as Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project or Confluence. • PMP, PRINCE2, PgMP or SAFe certification. • Oracle Fusion Cloud implementation certification or Oracle Cloud Success Navigator experience. • Experience with large multi-country or multi-entity Oracle rollouts, and with system integrator and staffing partner management. • Experience running engagements for US or European customers from a near-shore or offshore location, with strong ownership despite the time-zone gap. • Spanish, Portuguese or German is a plus but not a must-have. • First-Year Measures of Success • Month 1: Fluent in the Tessera platform. Running at least one Oracle engagement with plan, governance, RAID log and success criteria agreed with the customer. • Month 3: Running at least two engagements on plan, with technical deliverables, AI review gates and value metrics tracked and reported, and a first set of Tessera Oracle delivery templates in use across the team. • No third party may recruit, solicit candidates, publish job opportunities, use Tessera Labs’ name or branding, or represent that they are acting on behalf of Tessera Labs without prior written authorization. Any such activity conducted without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.

Responsibilities

• 1. Engagement Planning and Governance (25%) • Own the plan on several concurrent Oracle engagements: scope, phases, milestones, dependencies, resourcing and the critical path — from discovery and fit-gap through build, testing, data conversion, cutover and hypercare. • Set up and run governance: weekly checkpoints, daily syncs during execution, steering committees, RAID logs and clear escalation paths — and report status the customer’s executives can trust. • Manage scope, budget and commercial terms: burn and forecast against fixed-fee and time-and-materials engagements, change requests and change orders, with no surprises for the client partner or the customer. • Agree success criteria for proofs of value up front and track them through to an evidence-based close-out. • 2. Management of Technical Deliverables (35%) • Own the RICEFW inventory (reports, interfaces, conversions, extensions, forms and workflows) and drive each item through specification, build, review, test and sign-off. • Manage functional and technical specifications, code and configuration as deliverables — with review gates, quality criteria and traceability from requirement to test. • Plan and control environments and configuration movement: EBS instance strategy, cloning and patch windows (including R12.2 online patching); Fusion environment refreshes, Functional Setup Manager migrations and the quarterly update cycle. • Run data conversion as a managed workstream: mock conversion cycles, reconciliation sign-off, defect tracking and readiness criteria for each load. • Coordinate integration builds and third-party dependencies — banks, tax engines, payroll, EDI and legacy systems — and the testing between them. • Lead test management (CRPs, SIT, UAT, regression for Fusion quarterly updates) with entry and exit criteria, defect triage cadence and go/no-go evidence. • Plan and run cutover: an hour-by-hour runbook, rehearsals, go/no-go criteria, rollback and contingency plans, and hypercare. • 3. AI-Enabled Delivery (20%) • Plan engagements around AI-generated work: where the Tessera platform produces analysis, specifications, configuration, code and test scripts, and where human review and approval gates sit in the schedule. • Work with Tessera’s Forward Deployed Engineers and domain SMEs to keep AI output grounded and validated, and escalate early when a deliverable needs expert attention. • Measure and report the value AI delivers — time and effort saved against the manual baseline, quality of output, and adoption by the customer’s team. • Use AI tools in your own work every day: drafting plans, status reports and meeting summaries, analysing risks and dependencies, and preparing steering committee material. • Apply sound judgment on data privacy and security when AI is used on customer data, in line with the customer’s policies and our agreements. • 4. Client Leadership, Standards and Pre-Sales (20%) • Be the primary delivery counterpart for the customer’s program office and IT leadership, and build the trust that turns a proof of value into a follow-on engagement. • Manage organisational change and readiness with the customer: training, communication and business sign-offs, so go-live is adopted, not just executed. • Contribute to Tessera’s Oracle delivery standards — plan templates, RACI, governance packs, cutover runbooks and lessons learned — and feed field input to the platform team. • Support pre-sales with delivery plans, staffing models, timelines and risk assessments for proposals and statements of work.
