The position requires practical expertise in HFM, Smart View, and Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio, along with working knowledge of FDMEE, EPMA, Oracle EPM applications, data integrations, metadata management, and security administration. Experience with Oracle ERP/EBS or equivalent ERP platforms is also important for understanding upstream financial data and system dependencies.
Success will be measured by the reliability of the financial systems environment, accuracy and timeliness of consolidation and reporting support, effective resolution of application and data issues, and adherence to internal control and SOX compliance requirements.
Purpose:
Help maintain the financial systems infrastructure that supports accurate enterprise financial consolidation and reporting. Your work will enable finance teams to complete critical reporting activities with confidence while strengthening data integrity, application reliability, and financial controls.
Objectives
1. Maintain a Reliable and Secure Enterprise Oracle HFM Environment. Within the first 30–90 days, assess the existing Oracle Hyperion Financial Management environment, its application configuration, administrative processes, user community, and critical operational dependencies. Take ownership of assigned administration and support activities, including application access, security administration, metadata maintenance, and investigation of system issues. Coordinate with finance and technical stakeholders to address operational problems while maintaining appropriate controls over production changes. Success will be measured by achievement of agreed application availability and support targets, timely resolution of assigned incidents, accurate administrative changes, and compliance with approved access and change-control procedures.
2. Support Accurate and Timely Financial Consolidation and Reporting. Within the first 60–120 days, provide dependable HFM application support for assigned financial consolidation, intercompany accounting, cash flow reporting, and internal or external reporting activities. Collaborate with finance stakeholders to investigate consolidation errors, reporting discrepancies, general ledger mapping issues, and unexpected financial results. Use HFM, Smart View, and Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio to analyze application behavior and support the production of accurate financial information. Success will be measured by timely completion of assigned close and reporting support activities, resolution of identified discrepancies, stakeholder acceptance of corrected results, and achievement of agreed financial reporting deadlines.
3. Improve Financial Data Integration, Metadata Integrity, and Reporting Processes. Within the first 90–150 days, assess assigned financial data flows between Oracle ERP/EBS or equivalent ERP platforms, FDMEE, HFM, and downstream reporting tools. Investigate data loading issues, metadata inconsistencies, mapping problems, and reconciliation exceptions, then implement approved corrections or improvements. Work with finance and technology stakeholders to strengthen the accuracy, maintainability, and traceability of financial data used for consolidation and reporting. Success will be measured by successful execution of assigned data integrations, accurate reconciliations, reduced recurring data exceptions, and documented improvements in data quality or processing reliability.
4. Strengthen Financial Systems Controls, Operational Support, and Continuous Improvement. Within the first 90–180 days, evaluate assigned HFM administration and support practices for opportunities to improve application reliability, reporting efficiency, access governance, and control effectiveness. Support internal control and SOX-related requirements through appropriate security administration, documentation, approval processes, and evidence retention in accordance with organizational policies. Collaborate with finance and IT stakeholders to prioritize improvements, resolve recurring issues, and document repeatable operating procedures. Success will be measured by successful completion of assigned control activities, timely remediation of identified issues, improved support efficiency, and stakeholder confidence in the financial systems environment.

Review requests for administrative changes, confirm required approvals, and implement updates according to established procedures and segregation-of-duties requirements. Validate changes with relevant stakeholders and document their effect on application functionality, access, or financial reporting.
3. Support Financial Close, Consolidation, and Reporting Activities. provide hands-on support for assigned financial consolidation and reporting processes, including general ledger relationships, intercompany activity, and cash flow reporting. Investigate HFM consolidation errors, unexpected account balances, reporting discrepancies, and user issues using available application tools and financial process knowledge. Success will be measured by timely resolution of assigned close-cycle issues, accurate validated results, and successful support of applicable reporting deadlines.
4. Troubleshoot Financial Data Integrations and Metadata Issues. investigate assigned data integration issues involving Oracle ERP/EBS or equivalent source systems, FDMEE, HFM, and related financial applications. Analyze data mappings, metadata structures, load results, and reconciliation differences to identify the source of errors or incomplete financial information. Implement or coordinate approved corrections and verify that affected data loads and reporting processes operate as intended. Success will be measured by successful resolution of assigned integration issues, accurate reconciled data, and reduction of recurring exceptions against an agreed baseline.
5. Maintain Smart View and Financial Reporting Capabilities. support assigned financial reporting activities using Smart View and Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio. Work with finance users to investigate report discrepancies, improve report usability where appropriate, and validate that reports reflect approved HFM data and reporting structures.
