Senior Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM / Financials Project Auditor

Job Title: Senior Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM / Financials Project Auditor
Start Date: ASAP
Duration: Initial 90 120 day contract with potential extension or conversion to full-time
Location: Remote with periodic onsite work in Florida; initial focus on North and South Florida operations

A Mako client, a large engineering consulting organization, is seeking a senior Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM / Financials Project Auditor to support a post-go-live project stabilization initiative.

The organization recently transitioned from a custom ERP environment to Oracle Fusion Cloud and is working through financial and project-management challenges associated with the new system. The primary objective of this engagement is to identify project financial issues, determine what may be driving them, coordinate the appropriate teams, and drive open items through resolution.

This is not an Oracle implementation Project Manager role and is not intended to replace the Finance or Project Management teams. The consultant will act as a project financial auditor and facilitator, helping Project Managers, Finance, project coordinators, and Oracle resources identify and resolve issues while improving understanding of the new Oracle environment.

The role requires strong Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM and Financials knowledge, a solid understanding of project-based financial management, and the confidence to proactively engage stakeholders and move issues forward.

The organization recently transitioned from a internally developed ERP platform to Oracle Fusion Cloud.

With approximately 8,000 open projects, the company is undertaking a broader stabilization effort to identify financial and operational issues within active projects. A significant portion of the project portfolio may require review, making this a high-visibility initiative focused on improving project financial accuracy and helping Project Managers better understand how their projects are represented within Oracle.

The initial effort will begin as a pilot within Florida, with separate support planned for the North and South regions due to differing Finance teams and operational structures.

Key areas of focus include:

The ideal candidate is a senior Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM / Financials professional who understands both Oracle and the financial mechanics of project-based organizations.

This person should be comfortable reviewing a project in Oracle, recognizing when revenue, billing, margin, cost, or forecasting information does not appear correct, and determining what needs to be investigated further.

Just as importantly, the consultant must be able to work across multiple groups to get issues resolved. The hiring manager is looking for someone who is proactive, assertive, organized, and comfortable following up with Project Managers, Finance teams, project coordinators, and ERP resources until open items are closed.

The consultant is not expected to personally make every system or financial correction. Instead, this person will identify problems, help determine the likely cause, coordinate the appropriate resources, track corrective actions, and confirm that the issue has been resolved.

Candidates whose backgrounds are primarily Oracle implementation Project Management, general accounting with limited Oracle PPM expertise, or purely technical Oracle development would not be the right fit for this position.
