This must include three years PM experience managing complex Oracle EBS R12 upgrade and implementation projects.

You will have a good range of projects in your work history, and it would be a great advantage if you have worked across Financial Services before, particularly Insurance.

You should be comfortable working in a complex, matrix structure and be able to adapt to change if it arises.
