We are seeking an experienced Oracle Fusion Financials EMEA Lead to drive enhancements, process improvements, and operational efficiencies across Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. This role focuses on continuous improvement, optimisation of existing solutions, and delivery of enhancements. 

 You will act as the primary regional subject-matter expert for Oracle Fusion Financials, ensuring the platform is used effectively, processes are streamlined, and enhancements deliver measurable efficiency and control benefits while remaining aligned to global design principles. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead and prioritise the backlog of Oracle Fusion Financials enhancements and continuous improvement initiatives across EMEA (GL, AP, AR, FA, Cash Management, Expenses, Tax, Subledger Accounting, Period Close, and related modules). 
• Identify, analyse, and drive process improvements and efficiency opportunities within Finance processes supported by Fusion Financials. 
• Act as the primary EMEA point of contact for Finance, Controllership, Shared Services, Tax, and IT stakeholders on Fusion Financials enhancements, issues, and optimisation. 
• Design, configure, test, and deliver enhancements and process changes, ensuring alignment with the global template while addressing legitimate local statutory, regulatory, and business requirements (IFRS, local GAAP, VAT/GST, e-invoicing, etc.). 
• Manage regional change control, testing (SIT, UAT), deployment, hypercare, and post-implementation support for enhancements and improvements. 
• Collaborate closely with global design teams, Oracle, system integrators, and internal centres of excellence to implement best-practice solutions. 
• Monitor system usage, process performance, data quality, and key controls; proactively identify and drive remediation of inefficiencies, control gaps, and audit findings. 
• Support training, knowledge transfer, and capability building so regional Finance and support teams can fully leverage Fusion Financials capabilities. 
• Track and report on the benefits of delivered enhancements and process improvements (e.g., reduced cycle times, lower manual effort, improved accuracy). 
• Ensure all changes comply with internal controls, SOX (where applicable), and data privacy requirements. 
• 8–12+ years of experience in Oracle Financials, with at least 4–6 years hands-on with **Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials** (not just E-Business Suite). 
• Proven experience delivering enhancements, process optimisation, and continuous improvement initiatives in a multi-country or multi-entity Fusion Financials environment in EMEA. 
• Deep functional knowledge across core Fusion Financials modules (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Cash Management, Expenses, Tax, and related reporting/analytics).

• Strong understanding of EMEA statutory and tax requirements and experience configuring or advising on localisation needs within an existing global template.

• Demonstrated ability to analyse end-to-end Finance processes, identify inefficiencies, and drive practical, system-enabled improvements.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills; able to influence Finance and IT stakeholders across different cultures and countries.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and process-improvement mindset.

• Experience with change management, testing, and deployment of ERP enhancements.
