Job Description

The finance system closes the month. You are the reason it closes cleanly.

A multinational defence organisation runs its finance, purchasing and travel processes on Oracle E-Business Suite, and its service team needs a senior functional consultant at third line - someone who understands both the setups and the accounting behind them, and who users trust when a ledger refuses to balance.

What you would be doing

• Resolving second and third line incidents and service requests on the Oracle EBS Financials and Purchasing applications, and keeping every ticket accurate and within service levels
• Analysing new requirements and change requests, then writing the functional design and the documentation that goes with them
• Estimating effort for changes and making sure each one is properly tested end to end before users see it for acceptance
• Escalating the hard cases to the vendor or other teams and staying on them until users are satisfied
• Building up the knowledge base, training users on good practice and running the occasional briefing
• Working alongside the wider team in daily stand-ups and planning sessions

What you would bring

• Deep hands-on knowledge of Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2 Financials and Purchasing: General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Cash Management and Sub-Ledger Accounting
• Solid grasp of E-Business Tax, Purchasing and Fixed Assets flows and what they do to the General Ledger
• Budgetary control, encumbrance and accrual accounting, ideally in a public sector setting
• Month-end and year-end close, reconciliation, consolidation, revaluation, bank reconciliation and electronic payment formats
• Finance approval workflows, travel claim processes and the reporting that sits on top of it all
• Experience of L2/L3 support, basic SQL, configuration management and ITIL 4 with BMC Remedy
• Sustained recent assignments in this space and full professional English

Why this one is worth a look

It is a specialist seat where Oracle Financials depth is the whole point, on a platform used across an entire international organisation, under a standing framework rather than a one-off project.
