Job description

Join a team focused on delivering enterprise-scale Oracle EPM solutions that enable Finance organizations to improve planning, forecasting, consolidation, reporting, and performance management.

The team partners closely with Finance, IT, enterprise architecture, and implementation stakeholders to design scalable and maintainable Oracle EPM Cloud landscapes. The focus is on applying Oracle-recommended practices, strong architectural governance, automation, integration, and performance optimization to solve complex business challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end architecture and solution design of enterprise-scale Oracle EPM Cloud implementations, with primary expertise in Enterprise Planning/EPBCS and/or FCCS.


• Partner with Finance, IT, enterprise architecture, and business stakeholders to translate planning, forecasting, consolidation, close, and reporting requirements into robust EPM solution architectures.


• Design the broader EPM application ecosystem, covering application and dimensional architecture, calculations, security, reporting, integrations, automation, metadata, and data flows.


• Architect integrations between Oracle EPM Cloud and Oracle Fusion ERP/HCM and other enterprise systems using Data Integration, Integration Agent, Pipelines, REST APIs, EPM Automate, Groovy, and related technologies.


• Drive workload and performance management across calculations, data loads, integrations, job scheduling, concurrency, reporting workloads, and application design.


• Serve as the solution design authority by evaluating requirements, challenging designs when appropriate, explaining architectural trade-offs and risks, and promoting Oracle-recommended practices.


• Lead architecture workshops, solution assessments, design reviews, Proofs of Concept (PoCs), performance reviews, and technical troubleshooting while establishing reusable architecture and implementation standards.


• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to EPM consultants and developers while staying current with Oracle EPM Cloud capabilities, quarterly updates, and evolving implementation practices.

Responsibilities
