As a result we look to continuously invest in our people as they are a key driver to our success and become thought leaders both locally and internationally.

The Opportunity

Our award winning consulting team delivers solutions at the cutting edge of technology and now seek an astute and driven Oracle Cloud Financial Applications Senior Consultant or Stream Lead to join us in this newly created role in either Auckland or Wellington base locations.

Your role will focus on utilising your skills and experience in Oracle Financials ERP and applying that to Oracle Cloud/SaaS implementations with clients from various industries and sizes nationwide, therefore an ability to travel is a must.

As a Lead Consultant you will act as a Subject Matter Expert in the Accounting, Controlling and Finance work stream, hold key relationships with users and technology teams internally and externally, and mentor other Consultants and Analysts in your team to deliver best practice solutions. In general, you will be expected to;

• Lead the definition of finance process and system requirements to ensure successful deployment and solution.
• Contributing to the end to end development of Oracle Cloud Financials solutions, such as leading the solution design activities - creating functional specifications, configuration, creating documentation, testing and training activities – and ensuring that the solutions are fit for purpose.
• Collaborating with other functional work stream leads and stakeholders both internally and externally.
• Participate in project meetings and status meetings, providing leadership and guidance to a team of functional and technical consultants on and near/off shore.
• Influence the right outcomes whilst engaging with project stakeholders of all levels, and actively identifying risks and issues with appropriate escalation channels to ensure timely project delivery.
• Manage users and stakeholder expectations, owning change management issues and escalating as required to appropriate channels to ensure full user adoption.
• Assist with presales activities and procurement proposals as and when required.

To be successful for this role you will need to have;

• 5+ years’ experience as an Oracle EBS Financials Consultant with hands on configuration skills.

• Delivered on at least 2 full cycle ERP Programmes, ideally Greenfield implementations.
• Previous experience in a consulting environment is a distinct advantage.
• Strong knowledge of best practice Finance and Accounting Business Processes and a willingness to own change management issues.

• Experience as an Accountant and/or Controller with a Chartered Accountant or similar qualification would be highly beneficial.
• Strong leadership qualities, including building and motivating teams and organisational development skills. Project Management experience and qualifications will be helpful but not essential.
