Job description

The team

The Finance Systems & Planning Governance team sits at the intersection of Finance, Technology, and Data Management, ensuring the integrity, scalability, and effectiveness of the company's planning ecosystem. The team is responsible for Oracle EPM governance, planning processes, master data management, forecasting controls, and continuous systems improvement. Working closely with Accounting, Corporate Systems/IT, HR, Procurement, and FP&A teams, the group enables accurate forecasting, reliable financial reporting, and strong data quality through effective platform stewardship, operational discipline, and cross-functional partnership.

The role

We are seeking a Finance Systems leader to serve as the functional owner of our Oracle EPM platform and enterprise planning processes. This is not a traditional FP&A role focused on financial analysis; instead, it combines Finance expertise with Oracle EPM administration, planning governance, master data stewardship, and systems optimization. You will be responsible for ensuring the planning environment supports scalable forecasting, accurate financial reporting, and strong controls across the organization. Key responsibilities include ownership of planning calendars and processes, forecasting models, business rules, chart of accounts governance, reference data management, security and user access administration, UAT leadership, and Finance-facing system support. Acting as the primary liaison between Finance and IT, you will drive platform enhancements, automation initiatives, and roadmap priorities while leading a small team responsible for system operations, data validation, and reporting support.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 4-6+ years of experience in Oracle EPM administration, financial systems, Enterprise Performance Management, or FP&A systems environments.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle EPM (preferred), Anaplan, or similar enterprise planning platforms.
• Strong knowledge of planning processes, forecasting cycles, and financial reporting requirements.
• Proven experience managing EPM metadata, hierarchies, business rules, workflows, and security frameworks.
• Experience owning Chart of Accounts (COA) structures, master data governance, and reference data management.
• Ability to translate Finance and business requirements into scalable system solutions and process improvements.
• Experience leading user acceptance testing, system enhancements, integrations, and release management activities.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to partner effectively across Finance, Accounting, HR, Procurement, and IT.
• Experience managing, mentoring, or developing junior team members preferred.

This fully remote role is open to applicants residing within the Eastern Time Zone.

As required by the equal pay and transparency acts, the expected base salary for this position is: $145K to $165K. The expected on-target earnings for this position is: $165k to $188k.

The expected pay is determined based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, depth of experience in the practice area. Employees are eligible to participate in Hitachi Vantara's bonus/variable/commission pay programs,

where applicable, and are subject to the program's conditions and restrictions.
