IT ERP Project Manager (VA766904)
ABOUT THE ROLE
TO NOTE: Large scale ERP is the most important, so GOV experience is not a must have.
VITA is initiating a strategic effort to replace its legacy PeopleSoft Financial system with a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. To support this critical initiative, VITA is seeking a senior-level ERP Project Manager to lead the project from initiation through successful implementation.
This initiative has been championed by VITA’s Chief Financial Officer, who secured funding through an approved budget package and clearly outlined the limitations of the agency’s current 24-year-old system. To ensure the successful delivery of this enterprise-scale modernization effort, we are seeking a highly experienced IT consultant to serve as the ERP Project Manager.
The selected professional will be responsible for managing the full project lifecycle—including requirements gathering, planning, vendor coordination, execution, and go-live—while serving as the key point of coordination between internal business and technical teams and the external implementation partner.
The ideal candidate will bring strategic leadership, deep ERP expertise, and a strong background in managing large-scale IT initiatives within the public sector. Experience with financial systems, cross-functional stakeholder engagement, and navigating government procurement and compliance requirements is essential to drive this mission-critical transformation to completion.
