Job Description

Principal Oracle EPM Cloud Consultant

Lead. Influence. Transform.

Are you a recognised Oracle EPM expert ready to operate at the highest level — shaping strategy, influencing senior stakeholders, and leading complex transformation programmes?

At Version 1, the UK & Ireland’s leading Oracle ERP & Cloud transformation partner, we are looking for a Principal Oracle EPM Cloud Planning Consultant to play a pivotal role in delivering some of the most ambitious planning and performance management programmes across government, public sector, and enterprise clients.

This is more than a delivery role — it’s a strategic leadership position for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, finance, and transformation.

Why This Role Matters

As a Principal Consultant, you won’t just implement solutions — you’ll define how organisations plan, forecast, and make decisions.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior finance leaders, shaping enterprise-wide planning strategies, designing future-state operating models, and leading high-value Oracle Planning Cloud transformations that deliver measurable business impact.

What You’ll Own

You will:

  • Act as the design authority across all aspects of Planning Cloud (PBCS/EPBCS)
  • Define best-practice solutions across FP&A, Workforce Planning, CapEx, and operational planning
  • Oversee model design, calculations, integrations, Groovy scripting, REST APIs, and automation frameworks
  • Assure quality and design integrity across delivery teams

Client Leadership & Advisory

You will:

  • Build trusted relationships with CFOs, Finance Directors, and transformation sponsors
  • Lead executive workshops and steer decision-making with confidence and credibility
  • Translate complex technical solutions into clear, commercially focused narratives

Pre-Sales & Growth

You will:

  • Lead high-value pre-sales engagements, proposals, and client presentations
  • Shape compelling solution visions and demonstrations
  • Support pipeline growth alongside Sales and Practice Leadership

Team Leadership & Capability Building

You will:

  • Mentor and develop consultants across the EPM practice
  • Influence recruitment, capability strategy, and ways of working
  • Champion a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

Essential

You will have:

  • Deep expertise in Oracle Planning Cloud (PBCS/EPBCS) with multiple end-to-end implementations
  • Proven leadership of large-scale or multi-stream planning transformation programmes
  • Strong technical capability across:
    • Model design, calculations & allocations
    • Smart View, Data Management & reporting
    • Groovy scripting & REST integrations
  • Exceptional stakeholder management — particularly with senior finance audiences
  • Ability to influence decisions, manage complexity, and deliver under pressure
  • Experience leading teams, mentoring consultants, and driving delivery excellence
  • Commercial awareness with exposure to pre-sales or bid activity

Desirable

You will:

  • Experience with FCCS, ARCS, PCMCS, EDMCS, Narrative or Tax Reporting
  • Background in Finance, Accountancy, or FP&A
  • Experience migrating from Hyperion Planning to Oracle Cloud
