Senior Oracle EPM Cloud (Planning) Consultant

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Oracle EPM Cloud Planning expert who takes ownership and possesses strong functional expertise and hands-on technical capability.

The Opportunity

• Producing high-quality documentation and supporting testing and go-live activities.
• Supporting quarterly Oracle updates, regression testing, and ongoing enhancements.

Qualifications

• Desirable Experience:
• Finance or accountancy background and/or qualification.
• Exposure to other Oracle EPM Cloud modules (FCCS, ARCS, EDMCS, PCMCS, Narrative Reporting, or Tax Reporting).
