Remote Position
Pay Rate: Open
Employment Options: W-2 or Corp-to-Corp
Position Type: Multiyear Contract
Federal Experience: Strongly Preferred

ROLE SUMMARY

eAccounting is seeking a senior, hands-on Oracle EPM Functional Consultant to support the Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI) EPM rollout across approximately 25 DoD agencies. The consultant will work with agency budget, accounting, and financial management stakeholders to translate DoD Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) requirements into scalable Oracle EPM Planning solutions.

The ideal candidate understands the complete DoD budget lifecycle—from budget formulation and annual financial planning through spend-plan development, funds distribution, execution monitoring, forecasting, and comparison of planned amounts to actual obligations and expenditures from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)/DAI.

This is not an entry-level or training role. The selected consultant must be able to lead requirements sessions, recommend solutions, configure EPM applications, and contribute immediately to agency implementations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead requirements-gathering and design sessions with DoD agency budget, accounting, program, and financial management stakeholders.
• Analyze agency-specific PPBE processes and translate them into standardized, scalable EPM application designs.
• Support the full budget lifecycle, including:
  - Budget formulation and justification
  - Annual financial plan development
  - Spend-plan development and phasing
  - Funds distribution and allocation
  - Forecasting and reforecasting
  - Plan-versus-actual execution analysis
  - Year-end projections and closeout
• Configure and maintain EPM Planning components, including dimensions, forms, task lists, dashboards, workflows, approval hierarchies, reports, and user access.
  Develop functional requirements for business rules, calculations, allocations, data integrations, and reporting.
• Define planning models that accommodate agency-specific organizational structures, appropriations, funds, programs, projects, activities, object classes, and other DoD financial dimensions.
• Support integration and reconciliation of budget and execution data between Oracle EPM and DAI/Oracle EBS.
• Design reports and dashboards comparing plans, budgets, commitments, obligations, expenditures, disbursements, and available balances.
• Support metadata mapping, validation rules, data-quality controls, and reconciliation requirements.
• Develop functional design documents, configuration workbooks, process flows, user stories, test scripts, operating procedures, and training materials.
• Lead or support system integration testing, user acceptance testing, regression testing, and production validation.
• Analyze defects and coordinate their resolution with EPM technical, integration, reporting, and DAI functional teams.
• Support organizational change management, end-user demonstrations, training, deployment, and post-production stabilization.
• Identify opportunities to standardize EPM capabilities across participating agencies while accommodating justified agency-specific requirements.
• Communicate project status, risks, dependencies, and decisions to agency stakeholders and program leadership.
