OVERVIEW


Assignment


This assignment serves as a specialized IT contractor to help maintain the technical health, reliability, and automation of the agency's critical Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Cloud platform.

This assignment requires a blend of EPM administration skills and advanced scripting capabilities to enhance system reliability, advise in the streamlining of processes, and reduce manual intervention. The successful candidate will be a problem-solver who can work independently and collaborate effectively with both internal business users and the external implementation partner to maintain and improve this system.
