- Month-End Support: Serve as the ultimate escalation point for critical month-end and year-end close issues, swiftly diagnosing data corruption, unposted journals, or workflow bottlenecks.
Required Functional Expertise
- Deep Module Knowledge: Extensive, hands-on configuration experience in Oracle General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Fixed Assets (FA), Cash Management (CE), and Subledger Accounting (SLA).
- Advanced Features: Proven experience with Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS), E-Business Tax (eBTax), and Approvals Management Engine (AME).
- Business Acumen: Strong understanding of GAAP/IFRS accounting principles, financial reporting, and multi-org/multi-currency setups.

- System Tools: Hands-on experience with Oracle Workflow Builder, AME, and Oracle Forms Personalization.
- Integration: Experience designing inbound and outbound interfaces using REST/SOAP web services, concurrent programs, and SQL*Loader.
- Frameworks: Familiarity with Oracle Application Framework (OAF) or Application Development Framework (ADF) is a strong plus.
Qualifications & Experience

- Must have completed at least two full-lifecycle implementations and one R12.2.x upgrade.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
- Preferred: Oracle Certifications in Financials or PL/SQL Development.
What Makes You Stand Out
- You understand the data model of EBS Financials intimately (e.g., you know exactly how XLA_AE_HEADERS links to GL_JE_LINES and the subledger transaction tables).
- You have a proven track record of reducing month-end close times through system automation.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to say "no" to bad customizations and guide the business toward standard functionality.
