The Life of an ERP Project Manager

Client success

Our entire practice takes a “client first” approach to everything we do. You will design solutions for what the client needs – scaled to their business – nothing more, nothing less.

You will work as a trusted advisor for the client, delivering with quality, and predictability. You will strive to exceed the client’s expectations and maintain a culture of accountability by continuously soliciting client feedback – and acting on it.

Leadership

You will lead, coach, and mentor junior employees on the Oracle team to confirm all team members are proactively completing tasks at hand. You will participate in shaping our team, recruiting, people development, and programs to engage and develop our people.

You will help imagine the art of the possible, dreaming up what we aren’t thinking about – new assets, better delivery approaches – and help our clients do the same.

At Oracle Consulting, we believe:

• The attributes of modern cloud businesses demand new ways of thinking: more human-centered and experienced-based approaches.
• Cloud technology should free people from bureaucracy and hierarchy and empower them to analyze and solve problems independently.
• Aligning people, processes, and technology to the overall business strategy – with empathy and creativity – transforms industries.
• Celebrating each employee’s contributions – not just their skills on paper, but who they really are – cultivates an environment where our people are engaged, believe in our vision, and are fiercely committed to creating game-changing results for our clients.
• Operating with candor builds trust. We develop long-lasting client relationships and engage as a trusted adviser on whom our clients can depend.
• People are the heart of every business. Developing and coaching the people to excel in their role, achieving great things for an individual’s career, the business, and our clients is paramount to our success.
