Job Description

Senior Oracle EPM Cloud (Planning) Functional Consultant (Outside IR35 Contract)

YOU MUST BE SC CLEARED OR ELIGIBLE FOR CTC CLEARANCE. TO BE ELIGIBLE YOU MUST HAVE LIVED IN THE UK FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS.

Deliver. Own. Lead.

This role is for an Oracle EPM Planning expert who takes ownership.

We’re looking for a Senior Oracle EPM Cloud Planning Consultant with deep functional expertise and strong hands-on technical capability — someone who has personally delivered multiple end-to-end Oracle Planning Cloud implementations and is comfortable being accountable for the outcome.

This is not a design-only or oversight role. You’ll be hands-on throughout the lifecycle, building high-quality, scalable planning solutions that Finance teams genuinely rely on.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Oracle EPM Cloud Planning Consultant, you’ll deliver Oracle Planning Cloud (PBCS / EPBCS) solutions from initial requirements through design, build, integration, testing, and post-go-live support.

You’ll work directly with Finance and FP&A stakeholders, translating business needs into robust technical solutions — and then building them yourself.

While you may mentor or guide others when appropriate, the expectation is clear: you can independently deliver complete Planning Cloud solutions end to end.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading and delivering full lifecycle Oracle Planning Cloud implementations
• Designing and building planning models, metadata, forms, dashboards, and user experiences
• Developing and optimising complex business rules, allocations, calculations, and Groovy scripts
• Building and managing integrations using Data Management, EPM Automate, and automation tooling
• Working closely with Finance and FP&A teams to design driver-based planning, forecasting, and reporting processes
• Running workshops, gathering requirements, and communicating clearly with senior stakeholders
• Producing high-quality documentation and supporting testing and go-live activities
• Supporting quarterly Oracle updates, regression testing, and ongoing enhancements

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• A minimum of 3 end-to-end Oracle Planning Cloud implementations delivered
• Strong hands-on experience across configuration, calculations, integrations, and automation
• Proven capability with:
  • Oracle Planning Cloud (PBCS / EPBCS)
  • Smart View
  • Data Management
  • EPM Automate
  • Groovy scripting (highly desirable)
• Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating effectively within delivery teams
• Highly organised, proactive, and confident managing multiple priorities

Desirable Experience

You will have:

• Finance or accountancy background and/or qualification
• Exposure to other Oracle EPM Cloud modules, including FCCS, ARCS, EDMCS, PCMCS, Narrative Reporting, or Tax Reporting
• Experience migrating from Hyperion Planning to Oracle EPM Cloud

Why Join?

This is a true delivery role for experienced Oracle EPM Planning consultants who want responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to work on meaningful, complex programmes.

If you’re someone who enjoys owning solutions, solving real FP&A problems, and seeing your work go live and deliver value, this role offers exactly that.
