Roles and responsibilities

The Consulting – Finance Transformation – Oracle team is seeking a manager to join our growing EPM practice.

We are looking for a seasoned consulting leader who can own end-to-end delivery across multiple workstreams, lead senior client stakeholders, shape solution architecture, and build high-performing teams—bringing deep expertise in Oracle EPCM/PCMCS, industry best practices, and end-to-end finance processes.

Key responsibilities include:

1. • Lead end-to-end delivery of Oracle EPCM/PCMCS engagements, owning overall solution outcomes across requirements, design, build, test, deployment, and post go-live stabilization.
2. • Drive solution architecture and governance for profitability and cost allocation models (dimensions, rule-set design, sequencing, performance strategy, controls, and auditability).
3. • Facilitate senior stakeholder workshops; translate business strategy into scalable allocation approaches, operating model decisions, and measurable success criteria.
4. • Own engagement management: delivery plan, dependencies, change control, and financials; provide clear executive status reporting and lead escalations to closure.
5. • Ensure quality through design reviews, build reviews, and testing oversight (SIT/UAT), including reconciliation approach, test coverage, and sign-off readiness.
6. • Lead and mentor project teams; manage performance and development plans, enable upskilling, and contribute to staffing and hiring for the practice.
7. • Contribute to practice growth through pre-sales support (solutioning, estimations, proposals, demos) and development of reusable assets (accelerators, templates, standards).

Requirements

• 10+ years of overall experience in finance transformation / EPM, with strong recent hands-on experience in Oracle EPCM/PCMCS (multiple end-to-end implementations preferred).
• Deep understanding of profitability and cost management concepts (allocations, cost drivers, pools, reconciliation and reporting).
• Proven capability to lead solution architecture and detailed design: dimensional model design, rule sets, custom calculations, and performance optimization.
• Experience owning delivery governance across workstreams: plan, dependencies, change control, executive reporting, and issue/escalation management.
• Hands-on experience with integration patterns for Oracle EPM (Data Management, EPM Automate, REST APIs) and basic understanding of upstream/downstream systems and data flows.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with ability to run senior workshops, drive decisions, and translate business needs into clear functional and technical requirements.
