We are seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud Financials Business Analyst to join a well-established, growing organization in the Fort Worth, Texas area.

This position will serve as a key liaison between Finance and IT, supporting and optimizing the organization's Oracle Cloud Financials environment. The ideal candidate brings strong hands‑on functional expertise across General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and enterprise structures/Business Units and is comfortable working directly with Finance stakeholders to translate business needs into effective Oracle solutions. This is a highly collaborative role combining business analysis, functional Oracle expertise, reporting, troubleshooting, testing, data management, and ongoing process improvement.

We are looking for someone who combines strong Oracle Cloud Financials knowledge with the ability to understand how Finance actually operates. The ideal candidate can move comfortably between Finance stakeholders and technical teams, ask the right questions, translate requirements into practical solutions, troubleshoot complex functional issues, and communicate clearly with both leadership and end users. Strong candidates will bring a combination of Oracle functional depth, accounting/process knowledge, business analysis skills, testing discipline, and strong stakeholder management.

• Experience supporting financial close cycles, approvals, workflows, and operational Finance processes.
• Experience gathering requirements, conducting fit‑gap analysis, mapping business processes, and developing functional specifications.
• Experience coordinating and executing unit, regression, and User Acceptance Testing.
• Strong troubleshooting and defect‑triage capabilities.

• OTBI
• BI Publisher
• FBDI
• ADFdi
• Financial reporting and reconciliation to GL
• File‑based integrations and interfaces
• REST/SOAP concepts

The successful candidate does not need to function as a developer but should be technically comfortable enough to effectively partner with integration and development teams.

Responsibilities:

• Partner directly with Finance and business stakeholders to gather, document, validate, and translate requirements into functional Oracle Cloud solutions.
• Support Oracle Cloud Financials across General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Procure-to-Pay, Business Units, and enterprise structures.
• Configure and maintain Oracle Cloud Financials functionality using Functional Setup Manager (FSM) while adhering to established governance and change‑management practices.
• Analyze functional issues, identify root causes, and coordinate resolutions with internal technical teams, integration resources, third‑party partners, and Oracle Support.
• Provide functional support during month‑end and quarter‑end close, including issue triage, reconciliation assistance, and process improvement.
• Develop, modify, and maintain financial reports and extracts using OTBI and BI Publisher, ensuring results reconcile accurately to the General Ledger.
• Support financial data imports, conversions, and mass‑maintenance activities using FBDI, ADFdi, and spreadsheet loaders.
• Troubleshoot data‑load errors, validation issues, and downstream impacts.
• Partner with technical and integration teams supporting inbound and outbound interfaces, including banking/payment files, procurement systems, reporting platforms, and data warehouses.
• Evaluate quarterly Oracle Cloud releases, identify potential business impacts, support regression testing, and coordinate User Acceptance Testing with Finance stakeholders.
• Participate in scheduling and regression testing associated with Production‑to‑Test (P2T) environment refreshes.
