Oracle Fusion PPM – Project Accounting SME

Role overview

Lead the design and delivery of an Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Portfolio Management solution for capital project and cost accounting, initially supporting a multi-wave retail store development program. You will assess how legacy processes work, identify which business outcomes must carry forward, and design a standard-aligned Oracle configuration rather than reproducing old customizations. The assignment is expected to run 12–18 months, followed by work on another Oracle engagement.

Responsibilities

- Document legacy capital project processes, reports, interfaces, customizations, and data, including in-flight projects, budgets, commitments, and construction-in-progress balances. - Run fit-gap analysis against standard Oracle Fusion PPM functionality, maintain requirements traceability, and recommend whether gaps need configuration, integration, process change, or retirement. - Lead design decisions with accounting, construction, real estate, procurement, and finance stakeholders, covering project budgets and controls, change orders, contingency, capitalized labor, tenant allowances, asset accounting, tax, and security. - Define configuration and conversion approaches, including treatment of active projects and reconciliation of converted costs and balances to the general ledger. - Coordinate with the Oracle financials specialist on integrations with core finance modules and support testing, reporting, training, go-live, and post-launch issue resolution. - Use AI-enabled tools to document processes, draft configuration materials and test scripts, and reconcile conversion results; review their work and contribute domain expertise back into the platform.

Requirements

- At least 12 years of Oracle project accounting experience, including five or more years working with Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM. - Deep knowledge of capital project accounting and the relationship between project accounting and core financial processes. - Ability to analyze legacy systems and undocumented processes, distinguish business requirements from workarounds, and translate findings into Oracle-native designs. - Experience leading requirements, configuration, data conversion, testing, and stakeholder decisions for complex implementations. - Willingness to work US business hours with distributed teams and travel to customer offices and construction sites, up to 30%.

Nice to have

- Oracle Cloud project management certification or migration experience from systems such as SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, or JD Edwards. - Experience in retail or another multi-location business with frequent capital projects and phased regional or entity rollouts. - Familiarity with Oracle integrations for finance, procurement, fixed assets, inventory, leases, or construction management systems.

Benefits and work setup

This is a full-time, permanent US-based role with a hybrid arrangement: remote work, regular customer-site visits, and travel of up to 30%. The initial engagement supports a retail store development program and is expected to last 12–18 months.
