Oracle ERP Project Coordinator​/PM

Our client's Integrated Electronics program runs eight functional tracks through repeated Conference Room Pilot cycles toward a go-live. The tracks are delivering. What has no single owner is the work that sits between them: keeping one plan current, tying open items to dates, tracking interface readiness, preparing the governance gates and publishing one honest status every week.

This role takes that work. It is a coordination role with no authority over delivery. The people doing functional and technical work keep doing it exactly as they do now, and every decision they make today stays with them.
