Designs and delivers technical solutions, creates detailed solution designs, specific integration points, and selects appropriate tools and frameworks. Collaboration with developers and engineers to implement solutions, conducts technical reviews and resolves design challenges.
Documents architectures, provides technical guidance during development, and ensures solutions adhere to performance, security, and interoperability requirements. Prototypes new approaches and evaluates emerging technologies for project suitability.
Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for business partners across Controllership, Accounting, FP&A, and Treasury on process design and system capability questions.
Act as the lead advocate for Finance stakeholders in all ERP, EPM, and planning-related discussions, ensuring their operational needs, controls requirements, and priorities are represented in solution design.
Become the go-to resource for any proposed Finance process change, evaluating impact, feasibility, and fit within the Oracle Fusion Financials data model, chart of accounts, and integration landscape before implementation.
Translate business requirements into scalable solution designs that balance standard Oracle Fusion Financials functionality against configuration, extension, or integration needs.
Maintain a working command of end-to-end finance and planning flows — record-to-report, procure-to-pay (AP), order-to-cash (AR), and enterprise planning/budgeting — to ensure GL, AP, and AR designs do not create downstream conflicts or gaps.
Hands-On Configuration & Delivery
Directly configure Oracle Fusion Financials — General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash Management, and Fixed Assets — for medium-sized projects, enhancements, period-close changes, and break/fix work.
Build, test, and deploy configuration changes, including chart of accounts, allocations, subledger accounting rules, approval workflows, tax setup, and data structures related to core financial processes.
Configure and support Oracle EPM (planning, consolidation, and close modules) and Anaplan models used for budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise ERP/EPM systems, with significant depth in General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable functions.
Hands-on experience configuring Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials; comfortable working directly in the application, not solely at a requirements level.
Experience across multiple full-lifecycle ERP implementations (Oracle Fusion required; prior experience with Oracle EBS, SAP, or other major ERP/EPM platforms is a plus).
Working knowledge of enterprise planning and budgeting processes and how they interact with GL, AP, and AR to support forecasting and management reporting.
Demonstrated experience acting as a functional/solution architect — able to design solutions independently, not just execute configuration tasks handed down by others.
Experience partnering with or managing systems integrators/implementation partners on complex delivery efforts.
Strong business partnering and stakeholder management skills; comfortable being the primary escalation point for Finance process questions.
Working understanding of integration concepts and experience partnering on ERP-to-EPM/planning system integrations.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience producing functional design documents, process documentation, and executive-level updates.
Direct experience owning or integrating with Oracle EPM (Planning, Consolidation, Account Reconciliation) and Anaplan platforms.
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated/complex manufacturing environments.
Familiarity with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) or similar middleware/integration platforms.
Oracle Fusion certifications in Financials, or Oracle EPM/Anaplan certifications.
Experience operating in environments with export control, ITAR/CUI, or other regulated data-handling requirements.
AI & Agentic Automation Capabilities:
Shield AI is investing in Agentic AI to accelerate and automate finance operations. This role is expected to actively identify, design, and help implement AI-driven automation across GL, AP, AR, and the planning/close cycle — not simply consume AI tools built by others.
