Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with test automation platforms in Oracle Cloud environments - Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS), Tricentis Tosca, or equivalent.

Experience testing Oracle Financials integrations with third-party platforms (e.g., OIC, middleware, D2C commerce, EDI).
Experience with data migration testing - validating financial data conversion from legacy ERP systems into Oracle Fusion.
Knowledge of AI-assisted test generation and intelligent defect prediction tools applied to Oracle Cloud environments.
Oracle Cloud certification (Financials or Testing-related) and/or ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager.
MBA and/or CPA / CA designation.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end test strategy and quality governance for Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials implementations, covering SIT, UAT, regression, integration, performance, and cutover testing.
Define and enforce testing standards, entry/exit criteria, defect triage protocols, and sign-off thresholds across all workstreams, ensuring alignment with program milestones and go-live readiness.
Lead and coordinate onshore and offshore testing squads, setting priorities, managing capacity, resolving blockers, and driving accountability to test cycle timelines.
Serve as the senior functional voice on Oracle Financials test design, authoring and reviewing test scenarios, scripts, and expected outcomes for Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications.
Partner with integration, data migration, and technical workstream leads to design and execute end-to-end test scenarios spanning Oracle Financials and connected third-party platforms.
Lead UAT preparation and execution with client finance and operations teams, facilitating defect review sessions, driving resolution, and obtaining formal business sign-off.
Define and oversee performance and stress testing for high-volume financial transaction processing, interpreting results and escalating architecture-level risks.
Manage the defect lifecycle end-to-end, from logging and root cause analysis through resolution, regression, and closure, producing executive-ready defect dashboards and test progress reports.
Govern cutover testing and parallel-run validation, owning the go/no-go test readiness assessment presented to program leadership and client executives.
Evaluate and deploy test automation tooling (e.g., Oracle Application Testing Suite, Selenium, Tricentis Tosca) to accelerate regression cycles and improve coverage on repeat deployments.
Contribute to Accenture Edge test accelerator development, including reusable test scripts, scenario libraries, and QA playbooks for Oracle Financials mid-market deployments.
Mentor and develop junior test analysts and functional consultants, building team capability in Oracle Financials testing and structured QA practices.
