Clarity PPM - Functional Consultant
• Role:- Senior Business Analyst / Clarity PPM Subject Matter Expert (SME)
• 10+ Years Mandatory
• Location:- Remote
• Role Summary
• We are seeking a senior‑level Clarity PPM Subject Matter Expert who deeply understands the platform and brings a strong point of view on efficient, sustainable usage. This role will partner with finance, delivery, and portfolio leaders to implement and operationalize Clarity PPM in a way that minimizes long‑term overhead, avoids unnecessary customization, and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
• * This individual will act as both a hands‑on analyst and a strategic advisor, ensuring Clarity is used as a standard, scalable system of record rather than a bespoke solution that increases complexity over time.
• Key Responsibilities
• Clarity PPM Implementation & Optimization
• Serve as the functional SME for Clarity PPM, with deep expertise across project setup, financials, forecasting, capacity, and reporting.
• Lead and advise on configuration decisions that favor out‑of‑the‑box capabilities and proven patterns over custom builds.
• Partner with stakeholders to design simple, repeatable workflows that align financial and delivery data without adding tool overhead.
• Actively challenge requirements that introduce long‑term maintenance risk or operational burden, offering simpler alternatives.
• Business Analysis & Advisory
• Translate business, finance, and portfolio requirements into clear Clarity usage patterns, not just technical configurations.
• Provide a clear point of view on how Clarity should be used to drive consistency, adoption, and accuracy.
• Identify opportunities to standardize forecasting, staffing, and financial inputs to reduce variance and manual reconciliation.
• Enablement & Governance
• * Define and document guardrails, standards, and best practices for Clarity usage.
• Support governance forums and key decision discussions with fact‑based recommendations.
• Coach analysts, project managers, and finance partners on efficient, disciplined use of the tool.
• Partner with support and intake processes (e.g., ServiceNow) to ensure requests are handled in a controlled and scalable manner.
• Collaborate with technical Clarity resources as needed, while remaining focused on functional outcomes and delivery efficiency.
• Required Qualifications
• 8+ years of experience as a Senior Business Analyst, Product Analyst, or Portfolio Analyst.
• 4+ years of hands‑on Clarity PPM experience, including implementation and steady‑state operations.
• Demonstrated experience reducing tool complexity, not increasing it.
• Demonstrated ability to balance strategic guidance with hands‑on execution.
• Experience supporting platforms in a steady‑state / run‑and‑improve model.
• Strong understanding of financial forecasting, capitalization, resource planning, and portfolio management.
• Proven ability to influence stakeholders and push back constructively when requirements increase cost or complexity.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience supporting enterprise‑scale Clarity rollouts or migrations.
• Background working closely with Finance, Accounting, and Technology leadership.
• Experience defining operating models, governance, and standards for PPM tools.
• Familiarity with managing Clarity requests and support via centralized intake processes.
• Key Competencies
• Functional expertise in Clarity PPM
• Delivery and implementation best practices
• Hands‑on operational ownership
• Process orientation and standardization
• Problem‑solving and issue resolution
• Stakeholder partnership and influence
• Ability to simplify and operationalize complex requirements
• What Success Looks Like
• Clarity is adopted as a single, trusted source of truth with minimal customization.
• Ongoing support and maintenance costs are flat or reduced, not growing.
• Stakeholders have clear standards and guidance, reducing rework and exceptions.
• The organization gains faster, more confident insight into portfolio, financials, and capacity without adding process friction.
