- Deep knowledge of:
- Oracle General Ledger (GL)
- Oracle Accounts Payable (AP)
- Oracle Fixed Assets (FA)
- Full lifecycle Oracle implementation and production support experience.
- Strong understanding of Record-to-Report (R2R) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) processes.
- Experience leading small to medium-sized Oracle support and delivery teams.

Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a hands-on Oracle Finance specialist with strong functional and technical expertise who is comfortable operating between Finance and Technology teams. Candidates whose recent experience has been focused on Oracle Financials delivery, support and solution architecture will be particularly well suited to this opportunity.
Please note: This role is not aimed at senior Enterprise Architects, TOM consultants or transformation leaders whose recent experience has been primarily strategic rather than hands-on Oracle Financials delivery.
