Project Name:
Procurement System Modernization – Project Manager
Scope:
Reporting to the Director, 1GX Strategic and Operational Excellence, the Senior Project Manager is responsible for the coordination and completion of IT projects. Oversees all aspects of projects. Sets deadlines, assigns responsibilities, takes minutes, records any risks into the register, and monitors and summarizes the progress of projects. Builds and maintains working relationships with team members, vendors, and other departments involved in the projects. Prepares reports for upper management regarding the status of projects.
The position is responsible for facilitating the decision-making process of executive management.
Decisions need to be made based on the evidence of the situation, not based on theory relating to proposed and ongoing initiatives and projects. Most frequently, these situations do not have case examples as reference points and the decision process can be complex and exigent. The position interacts and consults with business clients, internal and external resources, the department's management structure and other stakeholders as required.
The Government of Alberta (GoA) replaced the legacy IMAGIS ERP Solution (MyAGent) with a new system (1GX) that was planned to reduce manual work, duplication, and help support government teams with data and analytics. 1GX is one of the biggest transformations ever undertaken by the Alberta Public Service (APS). 1GX is a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to manage our many business processes. For this position, the 1GX system is looking to deliver a standardized, cross-ministry procurement capability on the 1GX platform, to improve compliance and efficiency, enable data-driven decisions, maximize bulk purchasing power, and deliver long-term value for Albertans. This transformation spans 5 subjects over 12-months across contract-to-pay, procure-to-pay, and source-to-contract processes. The position is also looking to support a complex scheduling and complex pay interpretation solution to lead the delivery on behalf of the business (Public Service Commission) and 1GX.
Duties:
Experience in managing a complex Procurement system project spanning over contract-to-pay, procure-to-pay, and source-to-contract processes.
Experience in managing Complex Human Resources Information System (HRIS) project(s) adhering to the legislated policy and guidelines within Public Sector.
Experience in Budgeting and Forecasting system projects spanning over the Fiscal Year lifecycle of financial activities preferably in an SAP environment.
Experience in documenting briefing notes or similar project status reports to the Executive Steering Committees at Ministerial level.
Proven track record of managing Project Resources efficiently to meet Project goals.
