Experience must be in Program Management - not looking for Product Manager, Project Manager but a Program Manager 2. Must have delivered projects/programs in the Business Intelligence Platforms space-Must have managed programs start to finish in either Migration/Upgrades/Integration 3. Must have working knowledge of BI Tools/Platforms- We use Power BI 4. The landscape of our ecosystem is data warehousing, infrastructure, data sourcing( so things like WebMethods, Any ETL Tool, PowerBI) IMPORTANT MUST HAVES - From a finance perspective for this role- Must have handled RFP process from Budget, Invoicing/Scope/Scale/Reporting out. Must have experience managing financials AND BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO - what that means is: must have managed like it is your check book - check invoices, month over month, where is spend coming from, follow up on payments, accruals, what is going out, what is budgeted, what is left of the budget- Need to know and track burn down, did we receive invoices- are they outstanding, have our vendors completed milestones and deliverables and we can approve to make payments- THIS IS A MUST- PLEASE GRILL YOUR CANDIDATES ON THIS AND IF THEY HAVEN'T HANDLED- DO NOT SUBMIT THEM- Basic Qualifications 10 years of technology program management experience managing middleware integrations, large financial transformational programs in a large-scale matrix organization; responsible for schedule, budget, and scope; oversight of multiple project managers and vendors 8+ years experience working with Agile (SCRUM) methodologies and continuous integrations and delivery; with solid experience using agile delivery tools Technical Depth: Proven experience as a Project/Program Manager leading enhancements, migrations, or integrations with delivery teams and platforms. PM should have experience managing Data Integration/ Data Warehousing projects and the ability to understand one or more of the following application development tools and techniques: Data Integration/ Data Warehousing projects Databases like Snowflake, DB2 or SQL Server ETL tools like I ntelligent Data Management Cloud, Informatica PowerCenter 9.x (Informatica is NO LONGER REQUIRED, can be any ETL Tool) Exposure to Cloud technologies like AWS or Azure Preferred Qualifications Required Education BS Preferred Education The most important aspect is solid Program Management - execution of services in an Agile environment. This person should understand the scope and scale of an enterprise Vendor selection (why were these particular vendors specifically chosen), ideation, initiation, estimating (understand the SOW perspective for Vendors, milestone payments vs time/material vs fixed payments), understand the monitoring of burndown. The program team will prob have many vendors, FTEs, IQN consultants, all will have billback. This person understands the entire financial gamut as it will be month over month. They're pulling SAP actuals for the particular project and then side/by/side with the project plan. We see in resumes that they manage a project but they're not able to articulate accountability. This is the LEAD program manager with a lot of financial scrutiny with core competencies. Capex (capital expenditures) vs OpEx (Operating Expenses) --what is the implication from a financial perspective. This is a phased billing structure. If the vendors do not deliver invoices on times, it's the PM responsibility to tap those vendors. They will have to accrue those dollars to the next month. We have yet to hear a Program Manager walk through how they managed the financial treatment. Some have the tech acumen, while that's important (and REQUIRED), it's weighted heavily that they're able to lead from a Program Manager perspective. They are solely responsible for the project being paid on time. Must be proactive. This is NOT a generalist role. They should have a working knowledge of this specific type of role so they can call developers' bluffs, etc when it comes to resource amounts, etc. We're upgrading Power BI from x to x.1 and adding reporting functionality. Multiple sprints. We def need the PM to have the agile exp. and lead projects from idea to closeout in the HR Power BI space (upgrade, migrations, integration, etc.). As long as they have familiarity in something similar to Informatica, ETL, DB2, snowflake and understand the dataflow, they should know where the gotchas are. They're not the previous architect, dev, product owner or members of the delivery team, but DID it as the Program Management from inception to full delivery, that lead the projects within this platform. For my question, I asked if Big4 background would be a plus or a minus. She said that she doesn't care where they come from as long as they are bringing the value that this team needs. When interviewing, the candidates need to answer the specific the questions and not veer into a day in the life of how their company worked. Linda wants to only know what they did that relates to the question. The PMs they have today are generalists, not to the degree that they need HERE. Most of the employees would not get the job here today. The most important aspect is solid Program Management - execution of services IN an Agile environment. This person should understand the scope and scale of an enterprise Vendor selection (why were these particular vendors specifically chosen), ideation, initiation, estimating (understand the SOW perspective for Vendors, milestone payments vs time/material vs fixed payments), understand the monitoring of burndown.

Most of the employees would not get the job here today. Linda explained that what she is NOT seeing in all the candidates who have interviewed for her roles is someone who is the lead (end all be all) of the Informatica/ETL projects. They have to have been a major stakeholder from inception, through budgeting, through vendor approval, and to final delivery. Disney has a 3% allowance on going over budget so its essential that there are zero surprises on budgets. If there are FTEs assigned to the project, their costs must be considered as the budget is being eaten, same with all the vendors, and contractors. If any payments were deferred, all that has to be known, so that at the end of the project, they paid as much as they promised. The manager is not seeing people who have not only the full life cycle but also specifically to the projects at hand. This person must be confident and secure in their ability to own the enterprise projects as well as to have vast experience in the Agile framework. Anyone who has done dev or BA on these types of projects but NOT Prog Management of these types of projects will NOT be a fit. Thanks & Regards Sushmita Soni Sr. Technical Recruiter| SoniTalent Corp.
