THE WORK:
You'll act as the client’s owner’s representative, embedded alongside and managing the SaaS vendor (Octave) through the design and build stage – detailed discovery, configuration design, integration configuration and build, test, and data migration for the pilot projects.
You'll manage the vendor relationship end to end – governing scope, schedule, quality, commercial terms, and product roadmap dependencies, and holding the vendor to the statement of work as a demanding but constructive client.
You'll review, challenge, and sign off on the vendor’s configuration design and solution architecture to ensure fit with the client’s established capital projects controls practices, standards, and program objectives.
You'll oversee integration design and build across scheduling (e.g., Primavera P6), finance/ERP (e.g., SAP), and reporting/analytics data feeds (e.g., a data warehouse via API), ensuring cost and schedule data integrate cleanly and consistently across systems.
You'll hold the vendor to scope, schedule, quality, and acceptance criteria against the statement of work; track, document, and drive issues, risks, and change requests through to resolution, escalating where required.
You'll govern the data migration approach and validate migrated data for the pilot projects prior to stage-gate acceptance.
You'll assure the vendor’s test strategy, execution, and results; confirm defined acceptance criteria are met before progressing each stage gate.
You'll coordinate stakeholder engagement across scheduling, finance, IT and enterprise architecture, and controls leadership, keeping delivery aligned to program priorities.
You'll develop the implementation and rollout approach for scaling the solution beyond the pilot, including a wave-based rollout structure, sequencing, resourcing, and governance model.
You'll provide hands-on technical project management across parallel workstreams – planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control – in a complex, multi-project operating environment.
You'll lead the client-side implementation team through rollout, managing the transition from vendor-led delivery to owner-led implementation and embedding in-house delivery capability.
You'll establish and enforce data and controls standards to ensure consistency across projects and systems as the platform scales.
You'll formulate program controls processes to monitor scope, cost, schedule, contract, risk, quality, and performance across the rolled-out portfolio.
You'll lead organizational change management (OCM) across a complex operating environment – stakeholder and impact analysis, process redesign, training, communications, and adoption tracking – to embed new ways of working and realize the intended benefits.
You'll prepare and present progress, risk, and stage-gate reports to program and executive leadership, supporting recommendations and decisions on delivery.
You'll identify delivery risks and implement mitigation and contingency strategies across both the vendor-led and owner-led phases.
Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours.

Demonstrated organizational change management (OCM) experience leading the adoption of new systems and processes across a large, complex operating environment
