The Business Systems Project Manager partners with business owners, subject matter experts, technical teams, vendors, data and reporting resources, security, Finance, change management, and operational support teams to ensure solutions are practical, well-defined, successfully implemented, and aligned with intended business outcomes.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBusiness Process, Requirements, and Project Definition\nDevelop and maintain a clear project charter establishing project purpose, boundaries, ownership, funding assumptions, major deliverables, initial risks, dependencies, and authority to proceed.\nFacilitate discovery activities to understand current-state processes, pain points, business requirements, system impacts, data needs, integration considerations, and future-state expectations.\nEnsure business requirements are sufficiently documented, prioritized, traceable, and translated into actionable system or delivery requirements.\nFacilitate alignment between business stakeholders and technical teams when requirements, system capabilities, process expectations, or solution approaches require clarification.\nHelp business and technical teams distinguish between business requirements, system requirements, configuration decisions, process changes, reporting needs, and enhancement requests.\nTranslate approved project outcomes into an integrated delivery plan with meaningful milestones, acceptance criteria, owners, dependencies, planned dates, forecast dates, and confidence levels.\nMaintain alignment between project scope, requirements, process design, backlog, milestones, budget, risks, decisions, testing, change activities, and operational readiness.\nBusiness Systems Delivery and Execution\nCoordinate delivery across business functions, systems teams, developers, analysts, data and reporting resources, external vendors, and operational teams.\nEstablish and facilitate an agile, predictive, or hybrid delivery approach appropriate to the initiative and organizational standards.\nEnsure work is sufficiently defined before teams commit to delivery, including clear business requirements, acceptance criteria, priorities, dependencies, assumptions, and ownership.\nMake trade-offs visible when new requirements, enhancement requests, or shifting priorities affect existing commitments.\nMaintain project systems of record and ensure information remains current, consistent, and decision-ready.\nProcess and Solution Alignment\nFacilitate documentation and validation of current-state and future-state business processes affected by system initiatives.\nPartner with business analysts, system owners, technical leads, and business stakeholders to evaluate whether proposed solutions address identified business requirements and process needs.\nHelp prevent unnecessary complexity by challenging unclear requirements, duplicate functionality, and requests that are not sufficiently connected to an identified business need.\nEnsure business-process ownership is established so that new ways of working can be sustained after implementation.\nRisk, Dependency, and Decision Management\nAssign accountable owners, mitigation or resolution actions, target dates, triggers, impacts, and escalation paths.\nAnticipate cross-functional dependencies involving business processes, systems, integrations, data, reporting, security, vendors, infrastructure, and operational teams.\nEscalate risks and issues early enough for leaders to intervene, providing clear context, options, impacts, and recommendations.\nEnsure decisions affecting requirements, process design, scope, budget, timing, priorities, system design, release, or operational ownership are incorporated into the project plan.\nManage scope and requirements changes through a transparent process that identifies their impact on existing delivery commitments.\nProtect the integrity of project commitments by ensuring significant risks, dependencies, decisions, and changes are not privately absorbed or left without ownership.\nTesting, Data, and Business Validation\nCoordinate business participation in system, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing as applicable.\nEnsure test scenarios reflect meaningful end-to-end business processes, including important exceptions and downstream impacts.\nEstablish clear ownership for test execution, defect resolution, retesting, and business acceptance.\nMaintain visibility into defects, unresolved requirements, known limitations, and business acceptance risks prior to release.\nEnsure appropriate business owners formally validate that the implemented solution supports agreed requirements and is ready for operational use.\nStakeholder Communication and Governance\nDevelop stakeholder and communication plans defining what each audience needs to know, what the project needs from them, how they will participate, and who owns each communication.\nProvide concise, accurate, audience-appropriate reporting on project health and delivery confidence.\nTranslate business requirements and operational concerns into language that technical teams can effectively evaluate and execute.\nCreate transparency across business and technical teams without introducing unnecessary administrative burden.\nChange, Adoption, and Benefits Realization\nPartner with business owners and change, communications, training, and user-experience resources to prepare stakeholders for new systems, processes, responsibilities, and ways of working.\nDistinguish between system delivery, user adoption, operational outcomes, and business benefits.\nCoordinate feedback before and after implementation and incorporate relevant findings into delivery, training, or stabilization plans.\nEnsure ownership for ongoing adoption and benefit measurement is established before project transition.\nCommunicate value using observable business, user, operational, quality, risk, or financial outcomes rather than implementation status alone.\nRelease and Operational Readiness\nPartner with business, technical, security, data, compliance, infrastructure, support, and operational stakeholders to establish readiness criteria.\nEnsure known defects, workarounds, limitations, support needs, and residual risks are documented and accepted by the appropriate owners.\nClose projects with an accurate record of delivered scope, requirements, decisions, remaining risks, operational ownership, measurement responsibilities, and lessons learned.\nTeam Contribution and Continuous Improvement\nApply common delivery standards while scaling process and documentation to the needs, complexity, and risk of each project.\nShare practices, templates, lessons learned, and reusable approaches with project managers, business analysts, system professionals, and other delivery partners.\nSupport continuous improvement of project management, requirements management, testing, implementation, and business-system practices.\nDemonstrate flexibility as business priorities, systems, technologies, and delivery conditions evolve.\nWhat We Expect from You\nBachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Project Management, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.\n8+ years of progressive experience managing business systems implementations, enterprise applications, technology-enabled process improvements, or complex cross-functional projects.\nExperience facilitating business-process and requirements discussions and translating business needs into structured project or system deliverables.\nExperience working with enterprise business systems such as ERP, CRM, financial systems, HRIS, project systems, workflow platforms, reporting/data solutions, or comparable applications.\nExperience coordinating work in a matrixed environment where business owners, system owners, technical contributors, vendors, and decision-makers report to different leaders.\nWorking knowledge of agile, predictive, and hybrid project delivery approaches.\nExperience facilitating requirements workshops, sprint ceremonies, testing cycles, project governance, decision forums, and milestone reviews.\nDemonstrated ability to manage scope, schedules, requirements, milestones, risks, dependencies, decisions, budgets, vendors, testing, and stakeholder communications.\nAbility to translate technical constraints and system decisions into understandable business impacts.\nStrong facilitation, written communication, presentation, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to bring structure to ambiguous or conflicting business and system requirements.\nStrong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain attention to detail, and follow through on commitments.\nProficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and project or agile delivery tools.\nExperience with Microsoft Project, Azure DevOps, Jira, Planview, or comparable work-management platforms is preferred.\nProject Management Professional (PMP), Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP), or comparable project, agile, or business-analysis certification is preferred.\nDemonstrates openness to innovation by embracing and applying evolving technology and AI tools to enhance workflows, solve problems, and drive continuous improvement.\nMust have authorization to work permanently in the U.S.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nRequirements are sufficiently defined, prioritized, traceable, and connected to business outcomes.\nDelivery commitments are realistic and supported by scope, requirements, capacity, dependencies, and risk information.\nSponsors and stakeholders receive an accurate, defensible view of project health.\nRisks, issues, dependencies, requirements gaps, and decisions are surfaced early and assigned to accountable owners.\nChanges to requirements or priorities result in explicit evaluation and trade-offs rather than invisible additions to the project.\nTesting demonstrates that the solution supports intended end-to-end business processes and agreed requirements.\nBusiness-process owners, system owners, and support teams are prepared to sustain the solution after transition.\nAdoption, operational outcomes, and benefits are measured rather than assuming implementation alone represents success.\nCross-functional teams experience clear coordination, reduced ambiguity, and fewer delivery surprises.\n\nAs you consider
