The Work
LACCD operates one of the largest community college systems in the country, managing billions in bond-funded capital projects across nine campuses. They're modernizing from a legacy PMIS platform (Proliance) to Trimble Unity Construct (eBuilder), integrating it with Deltek Costpoint for enterprise accounting and financial controls.
As Technology Project Manager, you're the Owner's Representative leading this transformation end to end — migration planning, system configuration, financial workflow redesign, data validation, testing, training across 800+ users, post-go-live stabilization, and continuous optimization.
This isn't an IT implementation. It's a business transformation where financial accuracy, audit readiness, and operational transparency are non-negotiable. You're the strategic liaison between executive leadership, PMO, IT, Finance, Facilities, consultants, contractors, and nine campuses. You own the plan. You own the risk. You own the outcome.
What You'll Own
- Implementation leadership. Strategic planning, configuration, migration, integration, and optimization of the new PMIS platform across the enterprise
- Data migration and validation. Transitioning historical data, workflows, forms, reports, and accounting processes from Proliance; ensuring data integrity and continuity
- Financial workflow integration. coordinating PMIS and Deltek Costpoint integration; redesigning and testing budgeting, invoicing, cost tracking, and financial reporting workflows
- Testing and readiness. Coordinating UAT and user acceptance across all stakeholder groups; ensuring operational readiness before go-live
- Training and change management. Developing and delivering training to 800+ users across executive leadership, PMO, college administrators, contractors, and accounting teams; driving adoption and long-term utilization
- Post-go-live support. Leading stabilization, managing issue prioritization, coordinating enhancements, monitoring adoption and performance
- Stakeholder alignment. Serving as primary point of contact between IT, Finance, PMO, Facilities, and executive leadership; presenting status, risks, and decisions to board and senior leadership
- Governance and standards. Developing PMIS governance frameworks, workflows, operational procedures, and reporting standards aligned with district objectives
Requirements
What You Bring
- 10+ years in large-scale capital program delivery, PMO systems, or enterprise technology implementation — preferably in public sector: school district, county, airport, port, or utility. You've been in rooms with executive leadership explaining why projects cost what they cost and you've answered those questions credibly
- A specific PMIS implementation or migration you led — not supported, not assisted. You took an organization from legacy to modern platform. You have a project name, a timeline, a user count, and an outcome. You know what the first 90 days of go-live chaos looks like and you managed it
- Hands-on experience with Trimble Unity Construct (eBuilder) and/or Deltek Costpoint — configured workflows, tested integrations, supported go-live. If not these exact platforms, you've done equivalent work on SAP, Oracle, or Workday with deep financial system integration
- Capital program accounting fluency — you understand budgeting, contract management, change orders, invoice approval workflows, payment applications, cost forecasting, and financial reporting. You've sat in meetings where the finance controller was asking hard questions about data integrity and you had answers
- Proven cross-functional coordination without direct authority — PMO, IT, Finance, Facilities, Vendors — different agendas, one outcome. You facilitate alignment. You make things happen without being the boss of everyone in the room
- Training and change management at scale — you've delivered training to 500+ users across multiple sites. You have a specific number. You've managed the organizational dynamics of a major system change and driven adoption
- Executive and board communication — you present to senior leadership and governing boards. You explain technical complexity in business terms. You're comfortable with political context and public scrutiny
- Public sector or highly regulated environment experience — you understand change control boards, procurement processes, audit requirements, and the pace of government decision-making. You know why the rules exist and how to work within them
- Agile/SCRUM and software delivery lifecycle knowledge — you understand sprints, backlog prioritization, and iterative delivery. You've managed scope, timeline, and quality under competing pressures
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Engineering, Construction Management, Accounting, Finance, or related field
Preferred
- Owner's Representative experience on PMIS or capital technology implementations
- Direct experience migrating from Proliance into eBuilder
- Data migration, ETL, reporting architecture, and dashboard development
- Familiarity with document management systems, BIM integrations, and asset management platforms
- PMP, Scrum Master, or related certifications
