The Manager - Financial System EPM is a strategic leader responsible for the design, implementation, and ongoing governance of Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (EPBCS) and Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close (FCCS). This role serves as the overall owner of the EPM platform, providing both functional direction and technical oversight while leading a team of developers. The EPM Manager partners closely with Finance, FP&A, and IT leadership to enable and continuously enhance budgeting, forecasting, financial consolidation, and management reporting capabilities.
This role represents a pivotal opportunity to establish and lead a new enterprise capability. As the organization implements Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP as its system of record through a phased 12–18-month program, the EPM Manager will lead the parallel rollout of EPBCS and FCCS. This includes owning the EPM workstream end-to-end—from roadmap and solution design through deployment and hypercare, while ensuring seamless integration with Oracle Fusion Financials. The role is accountable for defining integration architecture, establishing best practices, and delivering scalable planning models that support both the ERP go-live and the organization’s long-term financial planning strategy.
The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in Oracle EPM Cloud with proven leadership experience and a track record of delivering enterprise-scale implementations. This individual will drive cross-functional alignment, translate complex business requirements into scalable solutions, and build a high-performing financial systems capability. This is a highly visible leadership role with significant influence on the organization’s financial transformation and future-state operating model.
