• Reporting to the Program Delivery Executive this role serves as the delivery manager for the Octave Sequence workstream ensuring the successful implementation of the platform while supporting the organizations broader capital project controls transformation.
• During the initial implementation phase the PMIS Implementation Manager oversees the third-party implementation partner responsible for configuring and deploying the solution ensuring delivery remains aligned with business objectives project controls best practices implementation quality and overall program milestones. The role acts as the primary interface between the implementation partner client stakeholders and the internal program leadership team.
• Following successful implementation of the initial pilot the PMIS Implementation Manager transitions into leading the continued rollout and evolution of the platform across the enterprise. This includes onboarding additional business units expanding functionality managing the product roadmap coordinating future releases and driving continuous improvement to establish Octave Sequence as the enterprise Project Management Information System (PMIS) supporting capital project delivery.
• The successful candidate combines strong enterprise implementation leadership with demonstrated experience delivering or overseeing Octave Sequence (EcoSys) implementations and a deep understanding of Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) used to support major capital projects and programs.
• PMIS Implementation Delivery:
  • Lead the day-to-day delivery of the Octave Sequence PMIS implementation.
  • Develop and maintain detailed implementation plans schedules and delivery roadmaps.
  • Coordinate project mobilization and onboarding activities.
  • Manage implementation milestones dependencies and critical path activities.
  • Monitor project progress and proactively manage implementation risks and issues.
  • Coordinate business readiness testing production deployment cutover and hypercare activities.
  • Ensure successful transition from implementation into operational support.
• Implementation Partner Management:
  • Manage the third-party implementation partner responsible for configuring and deploying Octave Sequence.
