About the Client
Our client is a global leader in aviation technology, providing innovative solutions that help airlines, airports, aircraft, and governments operate more efficiently, securely, and sustainably. Its technology enables the aviation industry to connect people, processes, and data across the entire passenger and aircraft journey.
From airport operations and passenger processing to communications, data, and enterprise applications, the organization operates at the heart of an industry that never stands still. As part of a major global transformation, the organization is undertaking an enterprise-wide Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP implementation, creating a modern, standardized, and scalable platform across its international operations. We are now looking for an experienced PPM & Project Accounting Domain Lead to play a key role in this transformation.
About the Role
As the PPM & Project Accounting Domain Lead, you will take ownership of the technical product backlog and functional design for the Oracle Fusion Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Project Accounting domain. You will sit at the intersection of business process, Oracle Fusion configuration, project financial control, data, and integration, working closely with Finance, Delivery, Operations, Sales, Contracts & Legal, Enterprise Systems, and the implementation partner.
The role will be responsible for ensuring that project delivery and project finance requirements are translated into a standardized, controlled, and scalable Oracle Fusion design. The scope covers the complete project lifecycle, from project creation, funding, budgeting, and cost capture through to project accounting, billing, revenue recognition, capitalization, reporting, and financial close. A particularly important element of the role will be ensuring effective integration between Oracle Fusion and adjacent platforms, including Salesforce, Icertis, and downstream finance, reporting, and analytics platforms. Beyond the initial implementation, you will also operate as a long-term ERP product owner, helping drive continuous improvement, optimization, automation, and value realization from the Oracle Fusion platform.
Key Responsibilities
PPM & Project Accounting Ownership
- Own and maintain the Oracle Fusion PPM and Project Accounting product backlog across project definition, costing, budgeting, funding, contract linkage, billing, revenue recognition, capitalization, reporting, and close processes.
- Translate approved business process designs into Oracle Fusion configuration requirements, functional specifications, user stories, and testable acceptance criteria.
- Ensure requirements are traceable from process design through configuration, integration, testing, data migration, reconciliation, and deployment.
- Manage scope and change requests across the PPM and Project Accounting domain.
- Prioritize backlog items based on business value, control improvement, automation opportunities, data quality, and programme criticality.
Oracle Fusion PPM Design Authority
- Act as the functional authority for Oracle Fusion Project Portfolio Management and Project Accounting.
- Review and challenge solution designs against Oracle standard functionality, business requirements, financial controls, and programme design principles.
- Drive design decisions covering project templates, classifications, expenditure types, cost collection, burdening, capitalization, project billing, revenue recognition, funding structures, and project financial reporting.
- Ensure alignment with related Oracle Fusion modules including General Ledger, Subledger Accounting, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Procurement, Fixed Assets, Order Management, and Enterprise Contracts where appropriate.
- Promote a standard-first, configuration-over-customization approach to ensure a scalable and upgrade-safe Oracle Fusion solution.
- Ensure designs support auditability, segregation of duties, revenue and cost traceability, billing accuracy, and strong financial control.
