Oracle EPM Functional Consultant (UK Citizen)

• Own second and third line EPM incidents and service requests through to fix, with particular care around planning and budgeting deadlines
• Handle the steady flow of EPM access requests, the busiest request type on the platform, working hand in hand with our access specialists on the EPM security model
• Assess what each Oracle update changes in EPM: what to adopt, what to test, and what planners need to be told before their forms behave differently
• Design and build EPM configuration changes: forms, dimensions, calculations and Groovy business rules, from quick fixes to sprint-delivered work packages
• Look after the movement of data in and out of EPM, including the feeds that tie planning back to the ledger
• Work with finance and planning product owners, turning loose ideas into clear written requirements and impact assessments
• Build test evidence (regression is automated in Tosca) and capture configuration with ConfigSnapshot
• Hand your changes over properly: documentation, knowledge articles, and contribute to the knowledge management repository

• Deep functional experience of Oracle EPM planning and budgeting (EPBCS or the current Planning module), gained on live services as well as projects
• Genuine Groovy scripting ability: business rules and calculation logic
• Experience managing data loads and mappings between EPM and an ERP
• The ability to gather requirements and write them up clearly
• A good understanding of the EPM security and access model

Useful but Not Essential:

• Fusion ERP financials awareness, enough to understand where the numbers come from
• Financial reporting within the EPM suite
• Tosca, ServiceNow, ConfigSnapshot, Jira
• Public sector planning and budgeting cycles
• Agile delivery experience alongside more traditional methods
