FP&A Systems Expert

We are looking for a hands-on Oracle EPM Cloud expert to own and evolve the planning platform that powers our budget, re-forecasts, and multi-year plan. You will be the go-to technical partner for FP&A, translating business questions into models, automations, AI-driven insights, and reports that people trust and actually use. This role suits someone who enjoys both building the system and understanding the numbers that flow through it. You will also manage and mentor one team member, setting priorities and reviewing work across the platform. • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience. • 7+ years of experience building and supporting FP&A systems on the Oracle Hyperion / EPM suite, with at least 3 years hands-on in EPBCS or EPM Cloud Planning. • Demonstrated experience delivering AI/ML or generative AI solutions for finance (e.g., Oracle IPM Insights, Python, or LLM-based tools), from use-case definition through user adoption. • Strong command of Essbase (BSO/ASO), calculation scripts, business rules, and Groovy scripting. • Proven experience with data integration, metadata management, user security, and process automation, including scripting (PowerShell, Python, or batch). • Experience building automated reporting solutions (e.g., Oracle Financial Reports or Narrative Reporting, Power BI, or scheduled Smart View reporting). • Expert-level Smart View and Excel skills (lookups, pivots, advanced formulas, template design). • Solid understanding of corporate and business-unit planning, forecasting, and reporting processes. • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical topics to finance users. • Detail-oriented and self-directed; able to manage multiple priorities and hit deadlines with minimal supervision. • Experience mentoring or supervising analysts or developers; formal people-management experience is a plus. • Experience with other Oracle EPM modules (e.g., Narrative Reporting, FCC, Account Reconciliation, PCM) or a Hyperion-to-cloud migration is a plus. How Success Is Measured • Platform reliability: daily loads complete on time, exceptions are resolved within one business day, and there is no unplanned downtime during close or forecast windows. • Data integrity: plan, forecast, and actuals reconcile to source systems every cycle with no unexplained material variances. • Cycle efficiency: budget and forecast cycles get shorter year over year through automation and fewer manual handoffs. • AI impact: at least one AI use case, such as predictive forecasting or automated variance commentary, is in production and actively used by FP&A within the first 12 months. • Cash flow forecasting: a cash flow forecast in EPM Cloud that FP&A relies on, with accuracy tracked against actuals. • Reporting automation: recurring management reports go out on schedule without manual preparation, and hours saved are tracked. • Business partnership: FP&A and Business Unit Finance teams treat the platform as a trusted source of insight, as shown by adoption and user feedback. #LI-ZP1 #LI-Hybrid
