• Metadata Management: Execute metadata updates based on kickout reports and business requirements; manage shared metadata for alternate hierarchies.
2. Technical Support & Troubleshooting
• Data Integrity: Investigate data flow errors and troubleshoot disconnects using SQL queries in RS&W and IMPRS staging tables.
• User Support: Respond to ad-hoc business requests, troubleshoot user-specific issues, and manage user provisioning/access rights in compliance with audit documentation.
• Testing: Perform thorough Quality Assurance (QA) testing on structural changes and updates to ensure system stability.
3. Reporting & Development
• Report Generation: Develop and maintain reports and forms to support business analysis.
• Data Transfer: Monitor and validate data transfers (inbound/outbound) between Planisware and Hyperion, correcting disconnects in the staging environment.
4. Process Execution
• Internal Controls: Support Internal Control requests and initiatives by providing required documentation and system evidence.
• Backup Capability: Maintain full knowledge of the Lead Business Owner’s duties to serve as a capable backup during absences, ensuring business continuity.
Education & Experience
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on experience administering Oracle Hyperion EPM applications (Planning and Essbase) in a corporate environment.
Database Experience: Proven experience with SQL (Structured Query Language), including the ability to write complex queries to investigate data flow errors and validate staging tables.
Technical Proficiency
Hyperion Administration: Deep understanding of Hyperion Planning and Essbase, including metadata management, application tuning, and managing dimensions/hierarchies.
Scripting & Calculation: Experience maintaining and modifying calculation scripts, business rules, and member formulas to support financial logic (e.g., labor rate calculations).
Reporting Tools: Advanced proficiency in Oracle Smart View and Hyperion Financial Reporting (HFR) for creating forms and ad-hoc analysis.
Integrations: Experience managing data integration and data movement between systems (ETL processes). Experience specifically with Planisware-to-Hyperion integration is a strong plus.
Functional & Operational Knowledge
Financial Acumen: Solid understanding of financial cycles (Month-End/Year-End Close, Budgeting, Forecasting) and accounting concepts (Currency Conversion/FX rates, General Ledger alignment).
Process Management: Demonstrated ability to manage strict operational timelines (e.g., "12+0 Close") and ensure system availability during critical windows.
Compliance & Security: Experience managing user provisioning (Shared Services), security groups, and maintaining documentation for Internal Controls/SOX compliance.
Soft Skills & Competencies
Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills to troubleshoot data integrity issues ("kickouts") and resolve technical disconnects between staging environments.
Communication: Ability to translate technical system issues into business language for stakeholders and provide high-quality user support.
Adaptability: Capability to act as a reciprocal backup to the Business Owner, requiring a holistic understanding of both the technical system and the business strategy it supports.
