• Define TSA and transitional-access requirements, and coordinate provisioning and deprovisioning through organizational transitions.
• Build and maintain a reusable M&A security playbook (discovery templates, role mapping approach, Day 1 access model) that scales across acquisitions.

Controls, SoD & Access Governance

• Own the technical design, implementation, and operational effectiveness of Oracle Cloud access controls supporting SOX and ITGC requirements, in partnership with Internal Controls and application control owners.
• Design, maintain, and enhance SoD rules and sensitive-access monitoring in partnership with Internal Controls.
• Perform SoD analysis, drive conflict remediation, and lead mitigating-control decisions where conflicts cannot be eliminated.
• Design access certification and role review processes.
• Partner with Internal Controls, Internal Audit, and external auditors on control design, testing, and evidence.

Identity, Provisioning & Operations

• Define provisioning architecture, including HCM-driven role provisioning rules, auto-provisioning, SSO/IdP integration, and approval workflows.
• Resolve complex provisioning, role inheritance, data access, and authorization issues.
• Own regression testing of security roles for Oracle quarterly updates.

Testing, Cutover & Production Readiness

• Own the security testing strategy across CRP, SIT, and UAT, covering role access, data access, SoD, and end-to-end business processes.
• Lead mock cutovers and production security readiness, and validate Day 1 access.
• Lead hypercare resolution and transition processes to steady-state support.

Leadership & Influence

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to consultants, security analysts, and implementation teams.
• Advise Finance, IT, and Controls leaders on access risk, trade-offs, and remediation priorities.

• Expert knowledge of Oracle Fusion Security Console, RBAC, Job/Duty/Data Roles, privileges, and Data Security Policies.
• Track record of leading security for at least one large Oracle Fusion implementation, M&A integration, or carve-out.

• Strong working knowledge of SOX, ITGC, and access control requirements, including experience working with auditors.
• Experience with security across Oracle Fusion Financials and/or SCM business processes.
• Experience with user provisioning architecture, HCM-driven provisioning, and security troubleshooting.
• Experience leading security testing, cutover, and production stabilization.
• Strong ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and communicate access risk to senior leaders.

Preferred Qualifications

What Success Looks Like
