Position Overview
Elire is seeking an experienced Project Manager / Thread Lead - PeopleSoft Financials to support a large-scale, multi-pillar international PeopleSoft implementation.

You understand the modules from the inside out and can see pitfalls before they surface.
You will serve as both the functional thread lead and project manager for the Financials workstream on a multi-year international program - accountable for delivery quality, team coordination, client confidence, and keeping the workstream aligned with overall program goals. You will work closely with the Program Manager, client stakeholders, and internal delivery leadership throughout the engagement.
