What you'll do:
Solution Architecture & Business Partnership

•
Designs and delivers technical solutions, creates detailed solution designs, specific integration points, and selects appropriate tools and frameworks. Collaboration with developers and engineers to implement solutions, conducts technical reviews and resolves design challenges.

•
Documents architectures, provides technical guidance during development, and ensures solutions adhere to performance, security, and interoperability requirements. Prototypes new approaches and evaluates emerging technologies for project suitability.

•
Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for business partners across Controllership, Accounting, FP&A, and Treasury on process design and system capability questions.

•
Act as the lead advocate for Finance stakeholders in all ERP, EPM, and planning-related discussions, ensuring their operational needs, controls requirements, and priorities are represented in solution design.

•
Become the go-to resource for any proposed Finance process change, evaluating impact, feasibility, and fit within the Oracle Fusion Financials data model, chart of accounts, and integration landscape before implementation.

•
Translate business requirements into scalable solution designs that balance standard Oracle Fusion Financials functionality against configuration, extension, or integration needs.

•
Maintain a working command of end-to-end finance and planning flows — record-to-report, procure-to-pay (AP), order-to-cash (AR), and enterprise planning/budgeting — to ensure GL, AP, and AR designs do not create downstream conflicts or gaps.

Hands-On Configuration & Delivery

•
Directly configure Oracle Fusion Financials — General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash Management, and Fixed Assets — for medium-sized projects, enhancements, period-close changes, and break/fix work.

•
Build, test, and deploy configuration changes, including chart of accounts, allocations, subledger accounting rules, approval workflows, tax setup, and data structures related to core financial processes.

•
Configure and support Oracle EPM (planning, consolidation, and close modules) and Anaplan models used for budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.

•
Author functional design documents, configuration workbooks, test scripts, and process/procedure documentation to support changes made in the environment.

•
For large or highly complex initiatives, define solution architecture and requirements, then partner closely with the implementation partner to execute — remaining accountable for solution quality, business fit, and knowledge transfer.

•
Participate in and help lead workshops, fit-gap sessions, and design reviews with Finance stakeholders and implementation partner teams.

Planning & EPM Ownership

•
Own the functional roadmap, configuration governance, and business alignment for enterprise planning and performance management platforms, including:

– Oracle EPM (Planning, Budgeting, Consolidation, Account Reconciliation, and Narrative Reporting as applicable)

– Anaplan (budgeting, forecasting, and workforce/operational planning models)

•
Ensure Oracle Fusion Financials, EPM, and Anaplan remain architecturally aligned, avoiding duplicate data ownership, conflicting chart-of-accounts structures, or reconciliation gaps across systems.

•
Define and maintain the target integration and data-flow model between GL/subledgers, EPM, and Anaplan to support a single source of truth for financial reporting and planning.

Integrations

•
Design and help implement integrations between Oracle Fusion Financials and adjacent systems (Oracle EPM, Anaplan, banking/payment platforms, expense and procurement systems, and others as needed).

•
Define integration requirements, data mappings, and error-handling/reconciliation approaches in partnership with technical/integration teams.

•
Evaluate integration patterns (API, middleware, file-based) and recommend approaches appropriate to data volume, latency, close-calendar timing, and criticality.

•
Support testing, cutover, and hypercare activities for integration-related changes, including month-end and quarter-end close cycles.

Governance & Continuous Improvement

•
Maintain configuration standards, documentation, and change control discipline for the AP, AR, GL, and planning functional areas, in alignment with internal controls and audit requirem
