Remote Position
[Remote] Oracle Technical Project Manager — E-Business Suite and Fusion
🌍 Remote · United States
💼 Full-time
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Tessera Labs is hiring an Oracle Technical Project Manager to lead concurrent Oracle E-Business Suite and Fusion Cloud engagements from kickoff through go-live. The role manages technical deliverables, customer governance, AI-enabled delivery, and contributes to delivery standards and pre-sales support.
Responsibilities
- Own the plan on several concurrent Oracle engagements: scope, phases, milestones, dependencies, resourcing and the critical path — from discovery and fit-gap through build, testing, data conversion, cutover and hypercare
- Set up and run governance: weekly checkpoints, daily syncs during execution, steering committees, RAID logs and clear escalation paths — and report status the customer’s executives can trust
- Manage scope, budget and commercial terms: burn and forecast against fixed-fee and time-and-materials engagements, change requests and change orders, with no surprises for the client partner or the customer
- Agree success criteria for proofs of value up front and track them through to an evidence-based close-out
- Own the RICEFW inventory (reports, interfaces, conversions, extensions, forms and workflows) and drive each item through specification, build, review, test and sign-off
- Manage functional and technical specifications, code and configuration as deliverables — with review gates, quality criteria and traceability from requirement to test
- Plan and control environments and configuration movement: EBS instance strategy, cloning and patch windows (including R12.2 online patching); Fusion environment refreshes, Functional Setup Manager migrations and the quarterly update cycle
- Run data conversion as a managed workstream: mock conversion cycles, reconciliation sign-off, defect tracking and readiness criteria for each load
- Coordinate integration builds and third-party dependencies — banks, tax engines, payroll, EDI and legacy systems — and the testing between them
- Lead test management (CRPs, SIT, UAT, regression for Fusion quarterly updates) with entry and exit criteria, defect triage cadence and go/no-go evidence
- Plan and run cutover: an hour-by-hour runbook, rehearsals, go/no-go criteria, rollback and contingency plans, and hypercare
- Plan engagements around AI-generated work: where the Tessera platform produces analysis, specifications, configuration, code and test scripts, and where human review and approval gates sit in the schedule
- Work with Tessera’s Forward Deployed Engineers and domain SMEs to keep AI output grounded and validated, and escalate early when a deliverable needs expert attention
- Measure and report the value AI delivers — time and effort saved against the manual baseline, quality of output, and adoption by the customer’s team
- Use AI tools in your own work every day: drafting plans, status reports and meeting summaries, analysing risks and dependencies, and preparing steering committee material
- Apply sound judgment on data privacy and security when AI is used on customer data, in line with the customer’s policies and our agreements
- Be the primary delivery counterpart for the customer’s program office and IT leadership, and build the trust that turns a proof of value into a follow-on engagement
- Manage organisational change and readiness with the customer: training, communication and business sign-offs, so go-live is adopted, not just executed
- Contribute to Tessera’s Oracle delivery standards — plan templates, RACI, governance packs, cutover runbooks and lessons learned — and feed field input to the platform team
- Support pre-sales with delivery plans, staffing models, timelines and risk assessments for proposals and statements of work
Skills
- 12+ years in project or program management, including at least three full-lifecycle Oracle ERP implementations as project manager — covering both Oracle E-Business Suite (R12.x) and Oracle Fusion Cloud, at least one of each
- At least one engagement where the customer moved to Oracle from a different ERP, such as SAP ECC, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft or Infor
- Hands-on experience managing technical deliverables on Oracle implementations: RICEFW inventories, functional and technical specifications, configuration migration, data conversion mock cycles, integrations, test cycles and cutover runbooks
- Working knowledge of Oracle delivery methods — Oracle Unified Method (OUM) for EBS and Oracle's cloud implementation approach for Fusion — and of the Fusion quarterly update cycle and Oracle Support service request management
- Practical, everyday fluency with AI: using generative AI and agentic tools in your own work, and experience — or a clear point of view — on planning and governing delivery where AI produces part of the work
- Strong commercial and governance discipline: budgets, burn and forecast, change control, RAID management and steering committees
- Senior client-facing presence: able to hold a steering committee, deliver bad news early and keep the relationship
- Proven ability to run several engagements at once without losing control of any of them
- Proven ability to learn a new AI platform quickly and become the person others ask
- Excellent verbal and written business English, with strong presentation ability to both business and technical audiences
- Experience leading distributed (onshore, nearshore and offshore) delivery teams, with strong asynchronous communication discipline
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- A technical or functional background in Oracle before moving into project management — for example as a developer, DBA, data conversion lead or module consultant
- Experience running proofs of value or pilot engagements with defined success criteria and measured outcomes
- Experience with AI or automation tooling in ERP delivery — code generation, test automation, data quality or documentation tools — and with measuring its impact
- Agile or hybrid delivery experience, and tooling such as Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project or Confluence
- PMP, PRINCE2, PgMP or SAFe certification
- Oracle Fusion Cloud implementation certification or Oracle Cloud Success Navigator experience
- Experience with large multi-country or multi-entity Oracle rollouts, and with system integrator and staffing partner management
- Experience running engagements for US or European customers from a near-shore or offshore location, with strong ownership despite the time-zone gap
- Spanish, Portuguese or German is a plus but not a must-have
Benefits
- Remote work, with a daily overlap of US business hours (full overlap for near-shore, at least 3–4 hours for offshore).
