• Lead functional validation of integrations between Oracle Cloud EPM Planning and Oracle Federal Financials, EBS, Fusion Cloud ERP, and other federal shared-service systems.
• Lead evaluation of legacy budget formulation processes (Hyperion Planning, PBCS, EPBCS, or spreadsheet-based) and define the functional target-state process for migration, in coordination with the Solution Architect.
• Own functional design documentation and lead functional/UAT testing to confirm the system supports real-world budget formulation and forecasting workflows.
• Lead training and knowledge-transfer sessions for agency budget and finance users, grounded in practitioner-level understanding of their work.
• Serve as the senior functional point of contact for the client; mentor the Functional Consultant on the budgeting/forecasting side of the solution.
