- Provide structured, constructive feedback and elevate risks or gaps as needed.
Solicitation & Procurement Support
- Assist in drafting RFPs/RFIs, evaluation criteria, and procurement documentation.
- Support evaluation and selection activities with scoring support, facilitation, and documentation.
Implementation Readiness & Oversight
- Monitor implementation progress from the client perspective using an IV&V-style approach.
- Track milestones, identify risks, and contribute to structured reporting on performance and readiness.
Reporting & Communication

- 5+ years of experience in public sector operations, consulting, ERP implementation, or large-scale IT project environments.
- Experience working directly with government agencies and familiarity with state/local policies, structures, and procurement processes.
- Understanding of ERP platforms (e.g., Oracle, Workday, SAP, CGI, Infor) and their role in financial, HR, payroll, or procurement operations.
- Hands-on experience coordinating testing, UAT, or QA processes within structured projects.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, such as the ability to synthesize complex topics, engage stakeholders, and drive alignment.
- Strong initiative, problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage day-to-day tasks with limited oversight.
