Head of Finance Transformation â Oracle EPM
A large multinational company with complex global operations is building a dedicated Finance Technology/Transformation capability to accelerate a multi-year modernization of its finance systems. This newly created Head of Finance Transformation â Oracle EPM  role will serve as the enterprise owner for the Oracle EPM roadmap, leading end-to-end implementation, integration, and long-term optimization across planning/forecasting, consolidation/close, and management reporting.
This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to senior finance leadership and close partnership with IT. The roadmap is active and well-supported, with major launches underway and additional releases ahead. The environment is demanding and fast-moving, with strong teams and resources around the role.
What Youâll Own
- Lead the enterprise Oracle EPM strategy and delivery roadmap (planning/forecasting, consolidation/close, reporting), from design through deployment, stabilization, and continuous improvement.
- Drive implementation execution across workstreams: requirements, process design, build/configuration, integration, testing/UAT, cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
- Partner with Finance and IT leadership to align the Oracle EPM architecture with broader finance systems (e.g., ERP platforms, data platforms, workforce planning, reporting/BI, and other auxiliary tools).
- Establish âday-2â operating rigor: release and enhancement governance, issue triage, regression testing approach, user adoption, and ongoing performance improvements.
- Own finance master data governance relevant to EPM (definitions, hierarchies, rules, metadata and change control) to improve consistency and confidence in global reporting and forecasting.
- Drive process standardization and automation to reduce cycle times and improve user experience across close, consolidation, planning, and forecast cadences.
- Support growth initiatives (new entities, acquisitions/divestitures) through scalable EPM design and repeatable deployment playbooks.
- Manage external implementation partners and consultants to ensure timeline, quality, and measurable value delivery.
Leadership Scope
- Lead a high-performing team across finance transformation, EPM delivery, and optimization, with a mix of internal talent and external partners.
- Operate as a cross-functional transformation leader with executive-level influence and accountability.
The Challenge (what to expect)
- Multiple parallel workstreams with real deadlines, high visibility, and complex dependencies across Finance, IT, and business teams.
- Global process variation and data complexity; success depends on governance, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined execution.
- Balancing program delivery with operational stability, adoption, and continuous improvement.
What Success Looks Like (12â18 months)
- Oracle EPM releases delivered predictably with strong stakeholder confidence and measurable adoption.
- Post-go-live environments stabilized quickly with an effective enhancement cadence and clear governance.
- Measurable improvements in close and planning cycle time, forecast quality, reporting consistency, and data governance.
- A scalable EPM operating model and deployment playbook that can absorb growth and complexity.
Ideal Background
- Extensive experience in progressive finance leadership roles with significant ownership of finance systems and finance transformation.
- Proven track record leading large-company Oracle EPM programs (implementation and/or major modernization), ideally spanning both planning/forecasting and consolidation/close.
- Experience integrating Oracle EPM with ERPs and adjacent systems (workforce planning, data platforms, reporting/BI, MDM) and operating effectively in a matrixed Finance/IT environment.
- Strong manufacturing environment experience (cost structures, operational complexity, multi-entity/global considerations).
- Executive presence, strong stakeholder management, and the ability to drive alignment through change.
- Experience building and developing teams; effective partner/vendor manager.
Requirements
- Oracle EPM experience.
- No employment visa sponsorship available for this role.
