Tessera Labs Oracle Technical Project Manager responsible for managing multiple concurrent Oracle E-Business Suite and Fusion Cloud engagements from kick-off to go-live. Ensures deliverables meet technical requirements and schedules.
Responsibilities
Two outcomes define the job. The first is engagements that land: on the date, inside the scope, with the customer’s sign-off and a reference we can use. The second is that each one makes the next easier to run, because what you learn goes into our delivery standards and the platform rather than staying in your head.
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.
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.

Required
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.
Preferred
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.
