Why This Role is a Game-Changer

You will lead flagship Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS/EPBCS) implementations end-to-end: from gathering requirements and designing models through to build, integration, testing, and post-go-live support.

You will deliver business-critical planning solutions: work closely with finance teams on driver-based planning, workforce and CapEx planning, management reporting, and forecast cycles.

You will have:

• Proven ability to design integrated planning solutions that connect to source ERP data and other EPM modules.
• Strong communicator: you build trust with finance stakeholders, run engaging workshops, and deliver clear documentation.
• Highly organised, self-motivated, and comfortable managing multiple planning workstreams in a dynamic cloud environment.

Bonus skills: exposure to Workforce, CapEx, Projects or Strategic Modelling, experience with REST APIs and Groovy scripting, or migrating from Hyperion Planning to EPM Cloud.

Why Join Version 1?

• Award-winning workplace: 10 consecutive years as a Great Place to Work winner
