We are seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to lead and coordinate multiple concurrent initiatives across our Oracle Cloud platform footprint — spanning Oracle ERP, HCM, EPM, and FAW (Fusion Analytics Warehouse). This role sits at the center of a multi-team ecosystem, working closely with internal technical/functional teams, stakeholders as well as external staff augmentation partners.

The ideal candidate is a strong IT project manager who also brings hands-on experience managing Oracle ERP/HCM implementation and enhancement projects — someone comfortable balancing multiple workstreams, vendor resources, and internal stakeholder priorities against a shared roadmap.

Project Execution and Delivery

• Own end-to-end project management for multiple concurrent workstreams across Oracle Cloud Applications — including planning, scheduling, budgeting, risk management, and status reporting.

• Develop and maintain detailed project plans and work breakdown structures (WBS) for each initiative, ensuring clear task ownership, dependencies, and milestones.

• Build and manage resource allocation plans across internal team members and external staff augmentation resources, balancing capacity against roadmap priorities.

• Track project progress against plan using standard PM tools and provide regular status reports (schedule variance, burn rate, milestone tracking, status dashboards etc.).

• Maintain and actively manage risk and issue registers (RAID logs), driving mitigation plans and escalating proactively where needed.

• Lead change control processes, assessing scope changes for impact to timeline, budget, and resourcing before approval.

Stakeholder Coordination

• Serve as the primary coordination point across multiple internal delivery teams to align priorities, dependencies, and delivery timelines.

• Partner and coordinate with Finance and HR business process owners to facilitate requirement gathering, validate design decisions, and ensure solutions align with business process needs.

• Coordinate with stakeholders from business units across Verisk whose processes or data intersect with the Oracle ERP/HCM/EPM/FAW platform, ensuring cross-functional alignment and minimal disruption to their operations.

• Act as a liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating business requirements into structured project plans and technical teams' progress into business-friendly updates.

• Maintain clear, consistent communication with stakeholders at varying levels, from working teams to executive sponsors, tailoring format and detail appropriately.

• Manage and optimize the use of external staff augmentation resource pool, ensuring the right skills are allocated to the right initiatives at the right time.

• Support annual and quarterly roadmap planning, providing input on sequencing, capacity, and resourcing trade-offs across business and IT stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Business Management, Business Administration, or other related discipline

• 5 years of relevant experience as an IT Project Manager, managing multiple concurrent Oracle Cloud Application projects simultaneously.

• Demonstrated experience managing projects involving Oracle ERP and/or Oracle HCM (implementation, enhancement, and support).

• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining core PM artifacts including project plans, work breakdown structures (WBS), resource allocation plans, status/tracking reports, and risk/issue (RAID) logs.

• Strong command of core project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, risk/issue management, and stakeholder communication.

• Proven experience coordinating with business process owners (e.g., Finance, HR) to gather requirements and validate that technical delivery meets business needs.

• Experience working across multiple business units or functional stakeholder groups within a large or matrixed organization.

• Proven ability to manage cross-functional teams and external vendor/staff augmentation resources.

• Experience working within structured governance frameworks (steering committees, status reporting, change control boards).

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for both technical teams and executive audiences.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and coordinating across multiple internal stakeholder groups with competing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing Oracle EPM and Oracle FAW projects.

• PMP certification.

• Experience managing engagements involving external staff augmentation or managed services partners.

• Familiarity with Agile/hybrid delivery methodologies within an enterprise IT environment.

• Prior experience supporting a shared multi-year platform roadmap across finance, HR, and analytics domains.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Multiple Oracle platform projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with clear stakeholder alignment.

• Project plans, WBS, and tracking artifacts are consistently up to date and used to drive decision-making.

• Finance, HR, and other business unit stakeholders feel heard, informed, and confident in how the platform team is delivering against their needs.

• Internal teams and external staff augmentation resources operate as a cohesive, well-coordinated extended team.

• Roadmap priorities are executed with strong traceability, minimal rework, and proactive risk management.

• Executive stakeholders have consistent visibility into progress, risks, and upcoming decisions.
