We are seeking a highly skilled and dynamic Oracle FCCS & ARCS Solution Architect to join our team. This multi-faceted role is critical to our success, encompassing pre-sales activities, solution design leadership, and project delivery management specifically for Oracle's Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS) and Account Reconciliation Cloud Service (ARCS).

• Oversee the end-to-end architecture, including data models, integrations with ERP systems (like Oracle Cloud ERP or SAP), and financial reporting strategies using tools like Management Reporting or Smart View.

3. Project Delivery and Management

• Serve as the lead architect throughout the project lifecycle, from initial design to go-live and support.
• Manage project scope, deliverables, and timelines, ensuring solutions are delivered on-time and within budget.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to the project team, including functional and technical consultants.
• Collaborate with client teams to manage change, ensure adoption, and provide ongoing support.
• Act as a key liaison between the client, internal delivery teams, and Oracle product support to resolve complex issues.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in a technology and functional role, with at least 4+ years as a Solution Architect on Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) or, specifically, Oracle FCCS and ARCS projects.
• Deep functional and technical knowledge of all aspects of Oracle FCCS (e.g., Consolidations, Intercompany Eliminations, Currency Translation) and ARCS (e.g., Reconciliation Compliance, Transaction Matching).
• Proven track record of leading full-cycle implementations and managing complex projects.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills with the ability to articulate complex financial and technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong understanding of the financial close process including consolidations, intercompany reconciliation, and account substantiation.
