The Work
We run and develop one of the largest Oracle Cloud shared services in UK government. It keeps the books for around 25,000 people working in the UK and overseas. The EPM estate carries the planning and budgeting rounds, and it is a proper build: heavily configured, with a lot of Groovy under the bonnet. This role encompasses both support and delivery. You will keep the live EPM service healthy, and you will design and build the changes that improve it.
Requirements
What You Will Actually Do:
- 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
What You Will Bring
Essential
- 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
Practical Points — Read Before Applying:
Support cover runs 06:00 to 22:00, Monday to Friday, on a rota. Most people work standard days most of the time, but everyone takes a share. All work on the system happens from within the UK. Certain sensitive tasks are done from the office rather than from home.
