CAPPS Technical Oversight Analyst (Contractor) 304FM202713

RESPEC is seeking a seasoned CAPPS Technical Oversight Analyst to support one of Texas's most critical statewide enterprise resource planning programs. This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership, vendor accountability, and executive communication — serving as a senior technical advisor on the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS), which supports financial and HR/payroll operations for over 100 Texas state agencies.

This is not a development role. This is a strategic technical oversight position for a professional who has spent their career inside Texas state government ERP ecosystems and understands the complexity of managing a statewide PeopleSoft platform at scale. If you have deep CAPPS Central experience, a track record of holding managed services vendors accountable, and the executive presence to brief agency leadership — this role was built for someone like you.

Core Responsibilities:

In this role, you will serve as the primary technical oversight resource for a statewide ERP program, providing strategic guidance and hands-on analytical support across a broad range of technical and operational functions.

You will develop and manage strategic roadmaps, translate complex technical concepts for executive audiences, and prepare and deliver high-quality briefings and status presentations to senior agency leadership. Your ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders will be essential to the success of this engagement.

On the vendor accountability side, you will interpret contractual requirements, monitor managed services vendor performance, and ensure deliverables meet established technical and procedural standards. You will be expected to identify gaps, escalate risks, and drive resolution — not just observe and report.

From a systems perspective, you will provide technical oversight of PeopleSoft FSCM and HCM 9.2 environments, support CAPPS Central production and deployment activities across 100+ agencies and multiple Hub instances, and apply your knowledge of SDLC methodologies, data integration practices, and data quality standards to ensure platform stability and compliance.

You will also oversee IT service desk operations aligned to ITIL framework principles, support the administration of a BOSSDesk or comparable ITIL-compliant service management platform, and contribute to accessibility compliance efforts under WCAG 2.1 standards.
