Elire LLC is a growing consulting firm that helps organizations modernize and optimize their enterprise systems and business processes. For nearly 20 years, we have partnered with clients across many industries to deliver practical, high-quality solutions spanning PeopleSoft, Oracle Cloud, Treasury, ERP, HCM, EPM, and managed services. Our teams are collaborative, hands-on, and solution-oriented, working as trusted partners throughout implementations, enhancements, support initiatives, and long-term transformation programs.

Elire is seeking an experienced Project Manager / Thread Lead – PeopleSoft Financials to support a large-scale, multi-pillar international PeopleSoft implementation. This is not a traditional project management role — we are looking for a seasoned PeopleSoft Financials professional who has worked their way through the suite as a functional consultant and grown into delivery leadership. 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.

Serve as the primary thread lead and subject matter expert for PeopleSoft Financials across all project phases

Lead the design, configuration, testing, and deployment of Financials modules including General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Asset Management, Project Costing, and related sub-ledgers

Anticipate functional and technical pitfalls within the Financials workstream, proactively address risks, and ensure consistency, quality, and best practices across all deliverables

Drive workstream planning, milestone tracking, and day-to-day execution across the financial thread

Manage the Financials workstream as a dedicated project manager, overseeing scope, schedule, resources, risks, and issues

Coordinate with the Program Manager and other thread leads to maintain alignment across all program pillars

Facilitate workstream planning sessions, status reporting, and client-facing milestone reviews, managing dependencies with other workstreams including HCM, ELM, and EPM

Maintain clear documentation, action tracking, and issue resolution logs throughout the engagement

Serve as the trusted Financials advisor and senior point of contact for client stakeholders on the financial workstream

Lead functional workshops, requirements discussions, and solution review sessions with client finance leadership

Communicate progress, decisions, risks, and escalations clearly and confidently to both client and internal leadership, building credibility through deep functional knowledge and consistent delivery

Lead, mentor, and guide the Financials team through all phases of the implementation, building functional problem-solving, client communication, and delivery accountability

Promote collaboration across threads and support a high-performance team culture throughout the program

10+ years of PeopleSoft Financials consulting and implementation experience

Deep hands-on functional expertise across core Financials modules (GL, AP, AR, AM, PC, or equivalent); broader Oracle or ERP ecosystem familiarity a plus

Proven experience leading a project workstream on a large-scale PeopleSoft implementation, ideally as a Financials functional consultant who has transitioned into delivery leadership

Strong ability to communicate complex financial system topics to both technical teams and business stakeholders

Demonstrated ability to anticipate delivery risks and resolve issues proactively

Experience on complex, multi-pillar enterprise implementations across the full lifecycle — fit-gap, configuration, testing, cutover, and go-live support

Excellent organizational, communication, and client relationship skills

Willingness and ability to travel internationally on a regular basis for extended project durations; experience on international or multi-country programs preferred

Play a central role in a significant international PeopleSoft program.

Work on a high-visibility, multi-year engagement with direct impact on delivery outcomes, collaborating with a senior, experienced leadership team across a complex global program

Competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, Unlimited PTO, 401(k) match, medical, dental, and additional benefits

Opportunity for long-term growth and expanded leadership responsibilities as the program scales

If you are a PeopleSoft Financials expert who has grown into a delivery leader — someone who knows the modules deeply, manages with precision, and builds lasting client confidence — we want to hear from you.
