Job description

We are seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud HCM Functional Consultant to support the configuration, enhancement, maintenance, and optimization of Oracle Cloud HCM applications. The consultant will work closely with HR business stakeholders, functional leaders, and HRIS teams to understand business requirements, configure HCM solutions, resolve system issues, and support the delivery of efficient and scalable HR processes.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on experience with Oracle Cloud HCM Core HR and multiple HCM modules, along with a solid understanding of HR business processes, system configuration, testing, production support, and process improvement.

Although the role includes reporting, analytics, and technical activities, this is primarily a functional HRIS position and not a dedicated Oracle HCM Reports or Reporting Team role. The consultant should be capable of independently managing functional requirements and supporting the end‑to‑end lifecycle of Oracle Cloud HCM solutions.

• Conduct requirement analysis sessions and translate business needs into functional specifications.
• Understand HR policies, procedures, and business processes and assess how they can be supported or improved through Oracle Cloud HCM.
• Provide functional guidance and recommendations to stakeholders regarding Oracle Cloud HCM capabilities.
• Collaborate with technical teams, integration teams, and other application owners to ensure effective end‑to‑end solutions.
• Communicate system functionality, configuration decisions, and potential business impacts to nontechnical stakeholders.

Production Support & Functional Troubleshooting

• Provide functional support for Oracle Cloud HCM production issues, system errors, unexpected results, and process gaps.
• Investigate issues by reviewing configurations, business processes, transaction data, and system behavior.
• Perform root‑cause analysis and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
• Coordinate with technical teams when issues require technical investigation or development support.
• Support incident management, issue resolution, and escalation activities.
• Perform functional testing and validation of fixes, enhancements, and system changes.

HR Process Improvement & Optimization

• Review existing HR processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, compliance, and user experience.
• Recommend and implement Oracle Cloud HCM configuration changes to support evolving business requirements.
• Evaluate the impact of process changes across Core HR and other HCM modules.

• Conduct functional audits and validation of HR processes, system configurations, and HCM data.
• Prepare training materials and conduct training sessions for HR users and business stakeholders.
• Support user acceptance testing, change management, and adoption of new Oracle Cloud HCM functionality.
