• Lead the Secondary Ledgers workstream end-to-end within an Oracle Fusion deployment (scope, delivery, risks, outcomes).

  • Secondary Ledgers in Oracle Fusion
  • Accounting Methods and SLA setups

To succeed, you'll need to be someone who can design the ledger setup, pressure test it with real-world finance scenarios, and make pragmatic decisions that avoid over-engineering while still meeting control and reporting requirements.

• Strong Oracle FusionFinancials experience, specifically:
  • General Ledger
  • Secondary Ledgers
  • Subledger Accounting (SLA)
• Strong accounting grounding:
  • IFRS
  • Experience working across multiple GAAPs and statutory requirements
  • Comfortable in multi-currency, multi-entity environments

• Exposure to Oracle reporting / FCCS
• Background in PE-backed / scale-up / entrepreneurial organisations

This role require will need someone who is forward thinking, comfortable taking ownership, and able to stay calm under pressure while driving decisions through ambiguity.
