The ideal candidate combines extensive Ellucian ERP implementation expertise with strong consulting, executive communication, people leadership, and stakeholder management capabilities.

Lead complex Ellucian ERP (Banner and/or Colleague) transformation programs, including on-premise to SaaS/cloud migrations, from initiation through stabilization, ensuring alignment with institutional goals and strategic priorities.

Develop and maintain comprehensive program governance frameworks, including steering committees, executive reporting structures, and decision-making processes.

Identify, assess, and proactively manage program-level risks, issues, and dependencies.

Develop and execute program communication strategies, including translating complex technical and program issues into clear, concise summaries for executive and client leadership audiences.

Collaborate with functional and technical leaders to ensure implementation decisions support long-term institutional goals.

Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure program success and realization of benefits.

Ensure project teams maintain high-quality deliverables, documentation, and implementation standards.

Serve as the primary point of contact for client executive sponsors, presenting program status, risks, and recommendations at the executive level in a clear, concise, and actionable manner.

Support business development initiatives through thought leadership, proposal support, and client relationship management as needed.
