About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Business Analyst with recent, hands-on Oracle EPM implementation experience to support a client currently progressing through an Oracle implementation and moving into the next phase of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and reporting. This role will sit at the intersection of business stakeholders, functional teams, implementation partners, and technology teams. The ideal candidate is a strong functional Business Analyst who can bring structure to an evolving implementation by leading requirements discovery, defining scope, documenting future-state processes, and translating business needs into clear functional requirements. This is more of a BA role than a PM role. The client needs someone who can step into the functional side of the implementation, ask the right questions, organize complex needs, and help drive Oracle EPM and reporting work forward.
