Introduction:
Brunel is currently seeking a Project Manager/Business Analyst to support Project Fusion by enabling effective coordination across the Procure to Pay Business Workstream.

This role acts as an execution partner to the Procure to Pay Lead, supporting day-to-day organization, coordination, and follow-through across the workstream. The role does not own functional decisions but ensures the team is aligned, accountable, and progressing against commitments.
This is a coordination‑focused role suited for a professional with enterprise experience who is comfortable working in the procurement, payables, inventory and other financial business domains and collaborating with system integrators. The role plays a critical role in ensuring momentum, clarity, and follow-through - so that completes its commitments, and nothing falls through the cracks.

- Support the Procure to Pay team by providing visibility and tracking of upcoming tasks
- Engage project team members to identify business resources needed to complete tasks and reach objectives
- Support maintenance of the P2P schedule by tracking detailed task progress and highlighting gaps
- Provide project updates on a consistent basis to various stakeholders about progress
- Capture decisions, actions, and commitments, and maintain accurate follow-up records
- Work collaboratively with the system implementor to ensure tasks are assigned and completed
- Work with the project team to effectively communicate expectations related to deliverables
- Follow Project Fusion standards, governance practices, and delivery frameworks, while recommending improvements where gaps are identified.
- Monitor task execution progress and make adjustments as needed
- Measure project performance to identify areas for improvement
- Guide and advise the project team in corrective steps to enhance project performance
- Evaluate project processes, anticipating requirements, uncovering areas for improvement, and developing and implementing solutions
- Work closely with other project workstreams to complete deliverables and achieve project milestones
- Communicate key insights and findings to team members and management
- Identify and resolve project issues
- Gather data and analyze business and user needs
- Coordinate the development of documentation to enable implementation
- Identify risks to delivery early and escalate to the P2P Lead and Program Leadership when progress is off track.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in project management, preferably in software or digital applications.
- Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience with procure to pay business processes is an asset.
- Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Azure DevOps).
- PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile certification is an asset.
Preferred Skills:
- Strong organizational and planning skills with attention to detail
- Confident written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work proactively and follow up without formal authority
- Comfortable coordinating across multiple stakeholders and priorities
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced setting.
