Oversee project planning, execution, milestones, and risk management
Manage budgets, forecasts, and financial tracking for the program
Coordinate with systems integrators and internal teams to ensure delivery alignment
Provide clear, polished communication to executive and leadership audiences
Act as a hands-on, go-getter PM who can dig into details while maintaining a strategic view
Help refine and validate the current project plan and implementation approach
Requirements:
Extensive experience as a Project or Program Manager on large enterprise software implementations
Prior experience in higher education, ideally supporting Financial Aid or student systems
Strong budgeting and financial management experience on complex programs
Proven ability to work directly with manager-level and executive stakeholders
Executive presence with strong written and verbal communication skills
Experience managing in-flight projects and stepping into partially completed implementations
