• Monitor daily system performance, scheduled batch jobs, backups, and routine Oracle Cloud monthly release updates, assessing impact and performing regression testing.

Model Maintenance & Continuous Improvement

• Design, test, and maintain calculation scripts, business rules, Groovy rules, member formulas, and data forms to support dynamic forecasting and budget processes.
• Partner closely with the FP&A team to translate evolving business requirements into scalable technical configurations, driver-based models, and what-if scenario models.
• Troubleshoot calculation performance, data load discrepancies, and currency translation issues to ensure fast query response times and system stability.

Reporting & End-User Enablement

• Develop, standardize, and maintain management reports and templates using Oracle Smart View, Financial Reporting (FR) Web Studio, and Narrative Reporting/Management Reporting.
• Act as the frontline technical support for finance power users and regional analysts during month-end close, quarterly forecasts, and annual budget cycles.

• Technical Skills:
• Demonstrated proficiency with Oracle EPM Cloud architecture, Data Management (FDMEE), and dimension hierarchy design.
• Strong working knowledge of calculation scripts, business rules, and member formulas; experience with Groovy scripting is a significant plus.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Oracle Smart View (ad-hoc analysis, formulas, connection troubleshooting).
