Business Systems Analyst III

Oracle Functional Business Systems Analyst

This is a 60 day assignment. Role is remote. Locations: Pleasanton, CA Boise, ID Chicago, IL Plano, TX.

The contractor will support Project T REX (Oracle conversion) by creating and maintaining finance-facing reporting, end-user training materials, and SOP documentation for new Oracle-based processes that impact Inventory Accounting and Accounts Payable. The role will act as a "translator" between functional accounting needs and day-to-day system execution by documenting standardized procedures, building job aids, and producing clear communications for field/corporate stakeholders as we approach WIRE go live.

Key outcomes include:

• Develop SOPs, quick-reference guides, and training decks for Oracle process changes affecting inventory and AP.
• Produce "what's changing / what's not changing" communications and user-impact summaries, including documentation of workarounds where applicable.
• Build/maintain reporting views and trackers to support readiness, cutover, and early-life support (ELS) needs for finance/accounting stakeholders.
• Support the project team by capturing decisions, updates, and action items in a structured format suitable for broad distribution and audit-ready reference.

Required Role Experience:

• Translating FDDs, test cases, and functional requirements into clear, business-ready documentation
• Oracle Fusion Financials (practical, business-facing usage)
• Inventory and cost accounting, including Costing, Landed Costing, and Perpetual Average Cost (Client)
• AP mismatches and downstream impacts (AP resolution, journal entries, financial outcomes)
• Client cost changes and cost corrections, including understanding root cause vs. system mechanics
• Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) for analysis and operational reporting
• BI Publisher (BIP) for controlled, distributable financial reporting
• Additional reporting resources external to Oracle are expected to be included
• Proven SOP and documentation experience for a business audience, focused on "how finance operates" rather than technical configuration details

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Strong business and finance background, with hands-on accounting experience (as opposed to primarily IT or configuration-focused roles)
• Demonstrated ability to own and explain financial outcomes, not just system behavior

Candidate Requirements:

• 37 years in accounting operations, finance process documentation, or ERP enablement roles with demonstrable SOP/training deliverables.
• Degrees or certifications required Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or equivalent experience.
• Nice-to-have: CPA, CMA, or formal documentation/training certification (not required).

Top Candidate Skills Must have (stack ranked):

• Business writing + communication: ability to convert complex process changes into clear SOPs, job aids, and training material for mixed audiences (finance + operations).
• Oracle UI familiarity / ERP navigation: comfortable capturing steps, screenshots, and exceptions from Oracle screens and workflows to build training and SOPs. (13+ years)
• Inventory + AP accounting knowledge: understands accounting impacts, common failure modes, and control points (e.g., incorrect accounting, invoice processing issues, reconciliation needs). (3+ years)

Like to have (stack ranked):

• Training development experience (quick guides, micro-learning, facilitated training sessions, LMS-friendly content). (13+ years)
• Reporting/analytics proficiency (Excel/Power BI/SQL) to produce readiness trackers and finance support reports. (2+ years)
• Change management / go live support (ELS playbooks, known-issue logs, workaround catalogs, stakeholder comms). (13+ years)
