- Coordinate across workstreams (functional configuration, data conversion, integrations, reporting, training, testing) to identify interdependencies and remove roadblocks
- Partner with the Yardi SME/process lead and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into project deliverables and timelines
- Own the project schedule for key implementation phases: discovery/business process review, solution design, configuration, data conversion, conference room pilot (CRP), user acceptance testing (UAT), go-live, and post-go-live stabilization
- Manage change control, scope changes, and their impact on timeline and budget
- Drive organizational change management activities, including training schedules, communication plans, and go-live readiness assessments
- Proactively identify and mitigate project risks; escalate issues appropriately and drive resolution
- Track and report on project financials, resource utilization, and vendor/consultant deliverables
- Maintain thorough project documentation and ensure knowledge transfer to operational teams post-implementation

- PMP certification or equivalent project management training preferred
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical detail into business-friendly updates for executive stakeholders
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple workstreams and competing priorities simultaneously
- Experience in real estate, property management, or related industries is a strong plus
Core Competencies
- Structured, detail-oriented project planning and execution
- Skilled facilitator who can align cross-functional teams and drive accountability
- Comfortable balancing business needs against technical/system constraints
- Calm under pressure during go-live and cutover periods
- High degree of self-motivation and independent judgment
