Build trusted relationships with CFOs, Finance Directors and Transformation Sponsors
Lead executive workshops and design sessions, challenging thinking and guiding best-practice outcomes

Translate complex technical solutions into clear, business-focused narratives

You Will:

Lead pre-sales activity including solution shaping, proposals, demos and bid responses
Support pipeline development alongside Sales and Practice Leadership
Contribute to Version 1 accelerators, reusable assets and thought leadership initiatives

Team Leadership & Capability Development

You Will:

Mentor and coach consultants across the Oracle EPM practice
Support capability strategy, recruitment and continuous improvement
Champion Version 1 values, culture and standards of excellence

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

Essential Experience

You will have:

Extensive hands-on experience delivering Oracle Planning Cloud (PBCS / EPBCS), including multiple full-lifecycle implementations
Proven leadership of complex, multi-stream planning transformation programmes
