Why This Role is a Game-Changer

• You will lead flagship Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS/EPBCS) implementations end-to-end: from gathering requirements and designing models through to build, integration, testing, and post-go-live support.
• You will deliver business-critical planning solutions: work closely with finance teams on driver-based planning, workforce and CapEx planning, management reporting, and forecast cycles.

• Own client relationships: manage expectations, facilitate design workshops, deliver training, and guide clients through quarterly patch updates.

What We’re Looking For

• You will have hands-on expertise in model design, form creation, calculations, allocation logic, Smart View, and Data Management.
• Proven ability to design integrated planning solutions that connect to source ERP data and other EPM modules.
• Strong communicator: you build trust with finance stakeholders, run engaging workshops, and deliver clear documentation.
• Highly organised, self-motivated, and comfortable managing multiple planning workstreams in a dynamic cloud environment.

Bonus skills: exposure to Workforce, CapEx, Projects or Strategic Modelling, experience with REST APIs and Groovy scripting, or migrating from Hyperion Planning to EPM Cloud.
