Technical Consultant - OFSAA EPM

Role Overview

Technical Consultant is responsible for designing, developing, configuring, and optimizing technical components across the OFSAA Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) suite, including modules such as Profitability (PFT), Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP), Allocation Engine, Costing, and MIS reporting.
This role demands strong hands-on build expertise, understanding of performance considerations, and the ability to lead module-level technical tasks independently

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Build & Configuration

• Implement end-to-end EPM solutions for PFT/FTP/Allocations under guidance of IC4 leads.
• Configure OFSAA Rule Framework components including:
• Allocation and driver rules
• Transfer pricing pools and pricing rules
• Transformation rules
• Profitability and costing calculation logic
• Configure and maintain metadata (DIM/FCT structures), hierarchies, and mapping rules.

2. SQL/PLSQL Engineering

• Develop SQL/PLSQL scripts, packages, functions, and procedures for:
• Data transformation & enrichment
• Rule logic support
• Batch execution
• Exception handling
• Optimize SQL logic for medium-to-large workloads and improve execution efficiency.

3. Data Integration & ETL Engineering

• Support and enhance data pipelines (STG → FCT → Reporting layer).
• Work with ETL engineers (ODI/Informatica) to implement mapping and ingestion logic.
• Perform data profiling, cleansing, reconciliation, and lineage documentation.

4. Batch Execution & Performance Support

• Run EPM batch cycles including PFT/FTP/Allocations.
• Analyze logs, SQL traces, and performance bottlenecks and apply tuning fixes.
• Understand performance optimization for partitions, indexes, and materialized views.

5. Testing & Quality Assurance

• Write and execute unit tests and SIT test plans.
• Validate profitability/FTP/Allocation rule outputs against functional requirements.
• Assist in defect triage, RCA, and support the UAT cycle.

6. Documentation & Deployment

• Prepare technical design documents, build workbooks, and mapping specifications.
• Support deployment across environments (DEV → SIT → UAT → PROD).
• Maintain version-controlled build scripts and change management documentation.

7. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with functional EPM consultants to translate allocation logic, FTP methods, and profitability calculations into technical builds.
• Collaborate with DBA, infrastructure, and data architecture teams on performance and deployment issues.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to IC1/IC2 developers.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on SQL/PLSQL expertise (complex joins, aggregations, performance tuning).
• Experience configuring OFSAA Rule Framework components (allocation, FTP, PFT).
• Understanding of DIM/FCT metadata models and mapping concepts.
• Familiarity with ETL tools (ODI/Informatica) or PL/SQL-based data ingestion pipelines.

Performance & Architecture Awareness

• Experience working with large data volumes and performance tuning concepts:
• Indexing strategy
• Partitions and subpartitions
• Column statistics and gathering plans
• Query execution plans
• Familiarity with OCI/Exadata environments (preferred).

Domain Understanding (Technical View)

• Understanding of financial/treasury data such as:
• GL & cost center hierarchies
• Product hierarchies
• Driver-based allocations
• Transfer pricing models
• Ability to convert functional logic into scalable technical execution.

Preferred Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in OFSAA EPM implementations.
• Hands-on experience in PFT/FTP/Allocations/Costing/MIS.
• Experience in multi-entity/multi-GL EPM implementations.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent.
