Ascension is seeking a results-driven Project Manager (IT Integration) to lead a high-visibility Proof of Concept (POC) focused on modernizing WSSC’s document and workflow ecosystem. This role is critical to successfully replacing legacy FileNet and DataCap systems with a modern Microsoft-based architecture leveraging SharePoint Embedded, Azure Document Intelligence, and Oracle EBS integrations.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, delivery-focused leader who thrives in fast-paced, time-bound engagements and can manage cross-functional technical teams, stakeholder expectations, and complex system integrations within a 6-month POC timeline. This individual will play a central role in ensuring that all solution components including web applications, scanning workflows, document management, and approval processes are delivered cohesively and meet defined success criteria.

This role is essential to ensuring the POC demonstrates end-to-end workflows (submission, approval, scanning, retrieval, batch monitoring) and validates the feasibility of WSSC’s future-state architecture.

Position Summary

The Project Manager will provide end-to-end leadership, coordination, and delivery oversight for the POC initiative, ensuring alignment across technical, functional, and business stakeholders.

This role requires a structured yet adaptive leader who can manage ambiguity, proactively identify risks, and drive execution across multiple integrated solution components. The Project Manager will oversee planning, execution, reporting, and stakeholder engagement while ensuring that all deliverables align with defined scope constraints (POC-focused, no long-term production deployment).

The ideal candidate will be:

• Highly organized and detail-oriented with strong execution discipline
• Skilled in managing enterprise system integrations (ERP + document management + web apps)
• Able to translate business requirements into actionable delivery plans
• Proactive in identifying risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies
• Comfortable operating in a hybrid Agile delivery environment

The Project Manager will also ensure that all POC use cases are successfully demonstrated, including:

• Workflow automation (submission, approval, resubmission)
• Document ingestion, classification, and metadata extraction
• Integration with Oracle EBS and SharePoint Embedded
• Batch monitoring and document retrieval capabilities
