• Lead enhancing work for the in-scope platforms (e.g. Oracle Financials, supply chain management platform, etc.); identify and resolve risks and roadblocks; rally a team to peak performance.
• Develop technical roadmaps and strategies in partnership with business and other IT stakeholders.
• Act as a liaison between Finance, IT, and other departments to ensure system alignment with business objectives.

What you’ll need to be successful:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent experience preferred.
• 5 – 7 years of software delivery experience in a 24/7 environment, supporting finance operations and procurement teams.
• Expertise in Oracle Financial Modules (GL, AP, PA, FA, ARCS, EDMCS, etc.).
• Experience in security management, preferably in Oracle applications.
• Familiarity with security tools such as Oracle Identity Management, Oracle Risk Management Cloud, or similar platforms.
• Experience with both custom-developed applications (e.g., Java) and legacy package applications (e.g., Siebel).
• Experience with integration tools and middleware solutions.
• Experience in Agile and/or ITIL methodologies.
• Experience with networking and data center infrastructure.
• Experience with incident management processes.
• Excellent communications skills, written and verbal.
• A bias for action and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
