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.
Responsibilities
- 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
- 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
- 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.
