• Design scalable Planning solutions that can support varying business processes and organizational requirements.
• Optimize application design, calculations, data flows, and overall system performance.
• Support integrations between Oracle EPM applications and complex upstream relational data sources.
• Help translate and transform data from relational structures into multidimensional EPM models .
• Work with Oracle PCM and Enterprise Data Management (EDM) as part of the broader EPM architecture.

• Strong understanding of Planning application design, optimization, and performance tuning.
• Experience working with relational databases, data structures, and complex integrations.

• Budget formulation
