Hybrid - Dallas, TX
Overview
We are seeking an Oracle Fusion Functional Lead to provide hands-on functional leadership across an Oracle Fusion Cloud environment, supporting business process maturity, application optimization, controls, governance, production support, and a growing portfolio of transformation initiatives. The role will serve as a primary functional partner across Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Projects, Operations, Internal Controls/SOX, and Technology.
The ideal candidate combines deep Oracle Fusion functional expertise with strong end-to-end process knowledge and experience in asset-intensive, project-driven organizations. This person must be comfortable stabilizing a live cloud environment while simultaneously leading requirements, design, testing, process improvement, and delivery across multiple initiatives and system integrations.
Current Oracle Environment
- Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP (26B), including General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Cash Management, Fixed Assets, Procurement, and Project Portfolio Management (PPM).
- Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for integrations and Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) supporting integration/data requirements.
- Primavera Unifier integrated with Oracle Fusion for project, procurement/commitment, budget/CBS, and actual-cost related processes.
- Reporting and analytics using Oracle BI Publisher (BIP), OTBI, Oracle analytics/data capabilities, and Power BI.
- A post-go-live environment that continues to mature through stabilization, controls, process standardization, enhancements, and new business capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the functional lead across Oracle Fusion Finance, Procurement, Projects/PPM, Fixed Assets, and related enterprise processes.
- Own or coordinate functional requirements, fit-gap analysis, solution design, configuration decisions, process mapping, testing, deployment readiness, and post-production stabilization.
- Support day-to-day production operations, triage functional issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive sustainable fixes rather than repeated manual workarounds.
- Partner with Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Operations, Construction/Projects, Internal Controls, Cybersecurity, and Technology stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable Oracle solutions.
- Lead workshops and design sessions, document business requirements and process flows, clarify business ownership, and drive decisions to closure.
- Challenge proposed customizations and extensions when Oracle standard capabilities can meet the requirement; ensure exceptions have clear business justification and supportability.
- Lead or support P2P, Supplier Portal, PPM/CBS/POET, Fixed Assets/CIP, finance optimization, inventory/SCM, EPM-readiness, tax-reporting, and related initiatives.
- Work closely with technical resources on OIC integrations, ATP/data requirements, BIP/OTBI reporting, interfaces, conversions, and troubleshooting while retaining functional ownership of business outcomes.
- Support Oracle-Unifier functional alignment, including project structures, budgets/CBS, commitments, actuals, and integration impacts.
- Manage functional aspects of RBAC, segregation of duties, access governance, and privileged-access requirements in partnership with Security and Oracle IT.
- Support SOX/ITGC controls, audit logging, audit evidence, control testing, remediation, and documentation.
- Define and execute SIT/UAT strategies, test scenarios, traceability, defect management, business sign-off, cutover readiness, and post-go-live validation.
- Support quarterly Oracle release impact assessment, regression testing, business readiness, and adoption of relevant new functionality.
- Establish functional governance, design standards, documentation practices, backlog prioritization, and repeatable support processes.
- Coordinate with system integrators and consulting partners; review solution recommendations, estimates, deliverables, and functional quality, and hold partners accountable to agreed scope and outcomes.
- Mentor internal resources and facilitate knowledge transfer to strengthen the long-term Oracle functional capability.

- Strong end-to-end understanding of Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, project accounting/project costing, capital projects/CIP, fixed assets, supplier processes, and financial controls.
- Experience supporting Oracle Fusion Cloud in a live production environment, including enhancements, issue resolution, quarterly updates, testing, and business readiness.
- Experience with Oracle security concepts including RBAC, segregation of duties, least privilege, access governance, and SOX/ITGC requirements.
- Experience with audit/control requirements and the ability to work effectively with Internal Audit, SOX teams, and external auditors.
- Strong knowledge of Oracle Modern Best Practices and the ability to distinguish configuration, extension, integration, reporting, and true product gaps.
- Experience working with integrations and reporting teams; functional understanding of OIC, BIP, OTBI, data extracts/interfaces, and cross-system reconciliation is strongly preferred.
- Experience integrating Oracle Fusion with project/construction or adjacent enterprise platforms; Primavera Unifier experience is highly desirable.
- Strong workshop facilitation, requirements definition, process mapping, fit-gap, testing, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams and work effectively with SIs/vendors while maintaining internal ownership of requirements and solution decisions.

- Experience supporting rapid-growth organizations where governance, processes, controls, and application operating models are still being established.
Success Profile
- Hands-on functional leader who can move comfortably between strategy, business process design, configuration-level discussions, testing, and production support.
