The City of Minneapolis has embarked on a strategic initiative to modernize key business processes, including human resources, payroll, finance, procurement, asset management, budgeting, and other related functions. As part of this transformation, the City plans to replace its existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, Oracle PeopleSoft, with a new, cloud-based solution from Workday. The new ERP system will be integrated with other third-party applications to provide a comprehensive solution for the City’s operations. This initiative aims to streamline and optimize critical functions across various departments, with the goal of enhancing efficiency, improving service delivery, and providing a more intuitive, user-friendly experience for City employees. This transformation will impact all City departments and employees, as well as the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB), a separate unit of the City. The new system will introduce changes in workflows, processes, and day-to-day operations. Successful implementation will require careful planning, coordination, and oversight to ensure that the projects are completed on time, within budget, and meets the City's expectations for functionality and user adoption. To guide this critical transformation, the City is seeking a qualified Program Manager (Consultant) to lead the development and execution of the ERP Program Management Office (PMO) on behalf of the City. The Consultant will be responsible for managing all aspects of the Program, from project planning and vendor coordination to stakeholder engagement, change management, and post-implementation support. The Consultant will work closely with the City’s project sponsors, project team, implementation partner and other external vendors to ensure a smooth and successful transition to the new system. This individual will also ensure that risks are proactively managed, milestones are achieved, and the Program remains on track to meet the City’s objectives.
