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: general ledger, payables, receivables, procurement and project accounting. This role encompasses both support and delivery. You will keep the live finance service healthy, and you will design and build the changes that improve it.
Requirements
What You Will Actually Do
- Own second and third line ERP incidents and service requests through to fix, with extra attention at month end, quarter end and through the year end peaks
- Assess what each quarterly Oracle release changes across financials and procurement: what to enable, what to test, and what finance teams need to know in advance
- Design and build ERP configuration changes, from small fixes turned around in days to larger pieces delivered in sprints or structured work packages
- Keep a light watch over the supply chain modules, which are in modest use but still need looking after
- Work directly with finance product owners and business leads, turning loose ideas into clear written requirements and impact assessments, and pushing back on scope when the value does not stack up
- Understand the security roles that control access to financial data and functions, and work with our access specialists when changes touch them
- 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
- Strong Fusion ERP functional experience across the financials core: GL, AP and AR, with procurement a welcome bonus
- Experience supporting a live Oracle Cloud service with real users
- An understanding of how finance teams actually work: period close, reconciliations, supplier payment runs, audit trails
- The ability to gather requirements and write them up clearly
- Oracle Risk Management Cloud or financial reporting compliance tooling
- A good understanding of Fusion security concepts: roles, data access, segregation of duties
- Working familiarity of OTBI or BI Publisher for finance reporting
Useful but Not Essential
- Project accounting or project financial management modules
- Tosca, ServiceNow, ConfigSnapshot, Jira
- Public sector finance, including budgeting cycles and government accounting habits
- 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.
