  • Drive the development of detailed project plans, including scope, timelines, budgets, resources, and risks, and lead the execution of the project to successful completion.
  • Lead cross-functional teams and collaborate with various internal departments (IT, finance, operations, legal, HR, etc.) to ensure smooth integration of the ERP solution.

Stakeholder Management:

  • Engage and manage relationships with key stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite executives, regional business leaders, and functional teams.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for stakeholders, ensuring clear, consistent, and effective communication.
  • Understand and address stakeholder expectations, managing competing priorities and balancing regional nuances while maintaining global alignment.
  • Facilitate workshops, steering committees, and executive reviews to ensure stakeholder buy-in and alignment throughout the program lifecycle.

Sponsor Engagement & Communication:

  • Work closely with program sponsors to ensure their vision, objectives, and expectations are reflected in the program's deliverables.
  • Regularly provide program updates to sponsors and senior leadership, highlighting key achievements, risks, issues, and mitigation strategies.
  • Ensure that the program is consistently aligned with the strategic direction of the organization and adheres to regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

Risk & Issue Management:

  • Identify, assess, and manage program risks, issues, and changes in scope. Implement effective mitigation strategies to minimize disruption.
  • Lead the resolution of complex problems and navigate challenges involving cross-cultural, regulatory, and technical considerations.

Regulatory Compliance & Industry Standards:

  • Ensure that the ERP implementation adheres to relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards (e.g., SOX, GDPR, financial reporting, etc.).
  • Work with subject matter experts to maintain an understanding of current and evolving regulatory frameworks in the oil and gas and utilities sectors.

Budget & Resource Management:

  • Oversee program budgets, ensuring efficient use of resources and controlling costs.
  • Ensure that program resources are effectively allocated across regions and functional teams to maintain momentum and meet deadlines.

Key Requirements:

Experience:

  • 8+ years of experience in program management, with a focus on large-scale ERP implementations (Oracle preferred) in a global, multi-country environment.
  • Extensive experience in the oil and gas, utilities, or other regulated industries, with deep understanding of industry-specific business processes, regulations, and compliance requirements.
  • Proven track record of managing complex programs involving multiple stakeholders, regions, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Strong experience in managing senior executives, program sponsors, and diverse stakeholder groups.

Skills & Competencies:

  • Ability to navigate regulatory complexities and ensure compliance across multiple geographies.
  • Exceptional organizational and time-management skills, with a high level of attention to detail.
