Accenture Edge - Oracle Financials Deployment and Cutover Lead

Accenture•Milwaukee, NY

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Accenture Edge is a new business purpose-built to help mid-market companies with annual revenues between $300 million and $3 billion harness AI and technology. These companies face the same technology, data, AI, cybersecurity, and productivity challenges as large enterprises, but need solutions that are faster to deploy, more repeatable, and right-sized for their scale. Accenture Edge integrates seamlessly with Avanade, our joint venture with Microsoft, delivering deep cloud, AI, and security expertise so clients can adopt AI at speed. The Oracle Financials Deployment and Cutover Lead is a senior Oracle Financials deployment authority who has landed complex go-lives and knows exactly what it takes to get an organization across the line safely. This role commands the full cutover lifecycle - cutover planning, mock cutovers, hypercare, and stabilization - and brings the functional depth in Oracle Fusion Financials to anticipate, diagnose, and resolve issues before they become go-live risks. At the Senior Manager level, this role orchestrates program-wide deployment governance, aligns multi-workstream teams to a single cutover clock, and gives client executives the confidence to press go. This role owns end-to-end deployments, not just manages them.

Requirements

Minimum 8 years of Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials implementation experience, with at least 4 years in a deployment lead or cutover lead role on Oracle Cloud ERP programs
Minimum of 5 years of deep functional expertise in Oracle Fusion Financials, sufficient to diagnose and resolve cutover-day issues without functional escalation
Minimum of 4 years coordinating multi-workstream deployment activities across integration, data migration, security, and change management teams under time-critical conditions
Minimum of 4 years building and managing master cutover runbooks with task-level granularity; proven use of critical path analysis and rollback planning in live deployment scenarios
Minimum of 4 years engaging and presenting confidently with client Finance leadership, PMO, and C-suite on deployment readiness, risks, and go/no-go status
Minimum of 3 years leading a cutover command center - directing onshore and offshore teams simultaneously, managing real-time issue triage, and making deployment decisions under pressure
Minimum of 2 Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials go-lives owned end-to-end, including production cutover execution, mock cutovers, and hypercare
Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent (12 years) work experience (If an, Associate’s Degree with 6 years of work experience)

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end deployment strategy for Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials implementations - defining the cutover approach, sequencing, runbook structure, and go-live readiness framework across all workstreams
Develop, maintain, and execute the master cutover plan and runbook, including detailed task sequencing, ownership assignments, duration estimates, critical path analysis, and rollback triggers
Lead two or more mock cutovers - simulate the full go-live sequence end-to-end, identify gaps, refine timing, and incorporate lessons learned into the production cutover plan
Serve as the senior functional voice on Oracle Financials deployment decisions - apply deep knowledge of Oracle Fusion to resolve cutover sequencing, balancing, and reconciliation issues in real time
Coordinate across all workstreams - integrations, data migration, security, testing, change management, and infrastructure - to align dependencies and eliminate deployment-day surprises
Define and govern cutover entry and exit criteria; chair cutover command center during go-live execution and make or escalate go/no-go decisions with full transparency to client and program leadership
Lead data migration cutover activities - validate final data loads, reconcile migrated balances to source systems, and sign off on opening balance integrity for Financials go-live
Produce executive-ready deployment status reporting - milestone burn-down, cutover readiness dashboards, and risk registers updated to the day
Identify, escalate, and resolve deployment risks and cross-stream dependencies proactively; present mitigation options to client leadership and Accenture program management
Contribute to Accenture Edge deployment accelerator development - reusable cutover runbook templates, readiness checklists, and hypercare playbooks for mid-market Oracle Financials deployments
Mentor and develop deployment analysts and functional consultants on cutover planning discipline, Oracle Financials go-live patterns, and structured deployment execution
