Manage the City project team that consists of functional process experts and other support resources within the City, ensuring work is carried out in a cost-effective manner.

Identify resource requirements and work with the City ERP Steering Committee to ensure the appropriate resources are assigned/allocated to the project.

Maintain a risk registry and issues management log to anticipate conditions that may impact scope, schedule, or budget; escalate risks and issues as appropriate (e.g., consultant(s), senior management, City Steering Committee).

Implement appropriate project management tools to plan and document project activities and progress.

Prepare project activity progress (schedule, quality, scope, and resource) reports in a timely manner and develop a repository for communicating with stakeholders as appropriate.

Manage the budget for the project including tracking and reporting.

Facilitate project management meetings online and in person, document meeting minutes and project deliverables, and regularly report on project status.

Develop stakeholder relationships to ensure expectations are managed, engagement with the organization, and the deliverables meet service area needs.

**Essential Qualifications**:
Undergraduate degree in business, engineering, computer science, information technology, project management or related discipline that matches the skills required to perform the job responsibilities. A graduate level degree with certification in project management would be considered an asset.

Experience managing large, complex projects leading teams and overseeing creation of work products; achieve goals and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Excellent interpersonal and communication (both written and verbal) skills; be able to communicate, negotiate, and motivate effectively at all levels of the organization.

Sound knowledge of business process mapping and project management practices including planning, execution, and control.

Exposure to ERP systems including financial, procurement, supply chain management, human resources, and payroll functions; familiarity with other local government ERP processes is an asset.
