We are seeking an experienced Oracle EBS Functional Consultant to join our onshore Application Managed Services team. This is a specialist, delivery-focused role providing deep functional expertise across Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for a large manufacturing enterprise running Oracle EBS 12.1.3 across multiple business units in North America.
The environment spans two major EBS instances - covering Financials, Procurement, Order Management, and integrated sub-ledger processing - with high transaction volumes and regulatory-sensitive financial workflows. You will be the primary onshore functional authority, working directly with client Finance stakeholders and coordinating closely with an offshore delivery team.
Functional Scope
This role requires hands-on expertise across the following Oracle EBS modules:
Core Financials (Required)
- Accounts Payable (AP)
- General Ledger (GL)
- Accounts Receivable (AR)
- Cash Management (CE)
- Fixed Assets (FA)
- iExpense
Procurement & Operations (Preferred)
- Purchase Orders (PO)
- iProcurement (iProc)
- Order Management (OM)
- Inventory (INV)
- Oracle IPM / Webcenter (AP imaging)
- EAM / WIP (exposure)
Key Responsibilities
Incident & Problem Management
- Serve as the primary onshore point of escalation for L2/L3 Oracle EBS Financials incidents
- Lead root cause analysis on recurring AP, GL, and sub-ledger issues; drive permanent fixes rather than workarounds
- Coordinate with offshore functional analysts to ensure consistent incident handling, quality triage, and timely resolution
- Own communication with client Finance stakeholders during high-priority incidents - clear, calm, and outcome-focused
- Manage end-to-end delivery of functional change requests: requirements gathering, solution design, UAT support, and deployment coordination
- Review and approve functional design documents produced by offshore team members before client sign-off
- Assess impact of changes on cross-module integrations (AP-GL, PO-AP, AR-CE) and flag downstream risks proactively
- Support period-end and year-end close activities - including journal entries, subledger reconciliation, and AP/AR aging review
Stakeholder Engagement
- Build trusted relationships with client Finance, Accounting, and Procurement teams as the day-to-day functional contact
- Translate business requirements into clear functional specifications; challenge scope where necessary
- Participate in governance and service review forums, presenting delivery status and risk posture in clear business language
- Identify manual, repetitive financial processes within the EBS estate that are candidates for automation or workflow improvement
- Collaborate with technical resources to define and test solutions that reduce manual intervention in AP, PO, and GL workflows
- Document known issues, workarounds, and resolutions to build a living knowledge base for the team
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of Oracle EBS functional experience, with a concentration in Financials (AP, GL, AR, CE, FA, iExpense)
- Demonstrable hands-on experience on Oracle EBS 12.1.x in a production support or AMS context - not just implementation
- Strong understanding of AP-to-GL accounting flows, period-end close processes, and subledger reconciliation
- Experience managing and resolving complex, cross-module EBS issues independently
- Comfortable leading client-facing conversations without escalation - clear communicator with Finance and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience coordinating with offshore teams: reviewing work, setting quality standards, and bridging time-zone gaps
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with Oracle PO, iProcurement, and OM modules - particularly procurement-to-pay cycle end-to-end
- Experience with Oracle IPM / Webcenter for AP invoice imaging and capture workflows
- Exposure to Oracle Apex tools or custom extensions built on EBS data - ability to articulate requirements to developers
- Understanding of Oracle EBS multi-org, multi-currency, and intercompany accounting setups
- Background in manufacturing, industrial, or consumer goods industries - familiarity with WIP, EAM, or inventory accounting a plus
- Oracle EBS certification (any Financials module) is an advantage, not a requirement
What Makes This Role Different
- High-complexity environment: two EBS instances, multi-entity, multi-currency, high transaction volume across Finance and Procurement
- Active improvement agenda - scope includes identifying automation opportunities, not just maintaining the status quo
