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.
- You will implement smart automations: use Smart View, Data Management, Groovy rules, and EPM Automate, and build forms, dashboards, and business rules for dynamic planning processes.
- Own client relationships: manage expectations, facilitate design workshops, deliver training, and guide clients through quarterly patch updates.
What We’re Looking For
- You will be a seasoned Oracle Planning Cloud specialist with a minimum of two full lifecycle planning projects.
- 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.

Join a Fast-Growing Practice: Be part of Version 1’s rapidly expanding Oracle EPM and Cloud team, delivering impactful projects across finance, public sector, healthcare, and manufacturing.
In essence: Build robust, driver-based planning solutions, grow your influence, be rigorously rewarded—and do it all in a top-tier consultancy built on innovation and integrity.
