Manager (Yardi)

Job Summary

The Yardi Implementation Project Manager leads the planning, execution, and delivery of Yardi software implementation projects, including new deployments, module rollouts, upgrades, and data conversions.

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
