Job Description

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Program Manager - Enterprise Applications to join the Technology Program Management team within our Global, Digital, and Cybersecurity (GDC) organization.

CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote, which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings.

YOUR TEAM.

This position will support our Technology Program Management (TPM) team. Reporting to the Managing Director, Technology Program Management, TPM brings program management discipline to the firm's most important technology investments - enterprise platform implementations and upgrades, integrations, data, and AI initiatives - so they are planned, governed, and delivered to drive measurable value for our Advisory, Assurance, and Tax practices and enterprise functions.

As the Program Manager - Enterprise Applications, you will lead end-to-end delivery of programs and projects across the firm's enterprise application landscape, including platforms such as SAP, Workday, and other ERP, HCM, finance, CRM, and practice management systems. You are a hands-on leader who brings rigorous planning, coordination, and risk management to complex, cross-functional work; holds teams and vendors accountable to commitments; and communicates status with clarity and candor. You will partner closely with Product Management, who define the "what" and "why," while you own the "how" - turning strategy into on-time, on-budget delivery.

YOUR ROLE.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

Program & Project Delivery

• Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise application programs and projects - new implementations, upgrades, module rollouts, integrations, and platform consolidations - for platforms such as SAP, Workday, and comparable ERP, HCM, and finance systems.
• Define scope, objectives, milestones, and success measures in partnership with business owners, product managers, and technology teams; build integrated plans, resource models, and realistic timelines.
• Manage the full enterprise application lifecycle - requirements, design and configuration, data conversion, integrations, testing (SIT/UAT), cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
• Drive disciplined execution by tracking progress, managing budgets, and resolving blockers to keep work on schedule, in scope, and within budget.

Governance, Risk & Reporting

• Operate within the TPM governance model, including quarterly commitments, status reporting, change control, and decision rights.
• Maintain RAID logs (risks, actions, issues, decisions, dependencies); proactively identify and escalate risks with clear options and recommendations.
• Prepare clear, candid status reports and steering committee materials that translate technical detail into business impact for senior leaders.
• Track program health using portfolio tools and dashboards, and use data to drive decisions and course corrections.

Stakeholder, Vendor & Team Leadership

• Orchestrate cross-functional teams across IT, business units (e.g., HR, Finance, Tax, Assurance, Advisory), Product Management, system integrators, and software vendors.
• Manage system integrator and vendor performance, including SOW deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, and change requests.
• Partner with change management and training teams to drive user readiness, adoption, and successful transition to operations.

YOUR EXPERIENCE.

The successful candidate will have:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, Engineering, or a related field required; advanced degree (e.g., MBA, MS in Technology Management) is a plus.
• 7+ years of progressive project or program management experience, including at least 4 years leading enterprise application implementations, upgrades, or integrations.
• Proven track record delivering at least one full-lifecycle implementation of a major enterprise platform - such as SAP (S/4HANA, SuccessFactors), Workday (HCM, Financials), Oracle, or a comparable ERP/HCM/CRM platform - on time and within budget in a matrixed environment.
• Working knowledge of enterprise application concepts - configuration vs. customization, integrations and APIs, data migration, security roles, testing, and release management - sufficient to engage credibly with architects, functional consultants, and developers.
• Expertise in program and project management best practices, including planning, scheduling, budget management, risk management, change control, and Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies. PMP, PgMP, or similar certification preferred.
• Experience managing system integrators and software vendors, including SOWs, milestone-based deliverables, and change requests.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable presenting to senior leaders and steering committees and building consensus across functions.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with proficiency in project and portfolio tools (e.g., Monday.com, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, Jira) and Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams).
• Detail-oriented and results-driven, with a bias for action, calm under pressure, and a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in a large professional services, consulting, or accounting firm; familiarity with governance in regulated industries is a plus.
• Experience with practice management, time and expense, or professional services automation platforms; SAP, Workday, or Agile certifications are a plus but not required.
• Exposure to AI and automation capabilities within enterprise applications.
