About the Job:

The Principal Business Analyst - ERP (Finance) will partner with both business and technology groups to deliver and maintain Accounts Receivable (AR), Collections, and Cash Application solutions for the Vulcan enterprise.

This role is a hybrid functional/technical architect position. You will not only serve as a functional expert in Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion Cloud but also own the integration architecture, designing data flows between Order Management, AR, GL, and Cash Management. You will be responsible for the "plumbing" of the financial systems-understanding APIs, flat-file interfaces, and the debits/credits underlying every transaction.

Technical Architecture & Integration Design

• End-to-End Data Flow:
  Architect and support the technical integration points for the entire lifecycle, specifically:

• Order Management to Receivables:
  Ensure seamless transaction flow from booked orders to invoices.

• Collections to Cash Apps:
  Manage the flow where Collections activity drives cash receipts, ensuring that applied cash immediately updates customer delinquency status in Collections.

• AR/Collections to GL:
  Own the Subledger Accounting (SLA) rules that sweep data (Write-offs, Adjustments, Invoices) into the General Ledger.

• Cash Management:
  Ensure AR Receipts and AP Payments properly interface with Cash Management for accurate bank reconciliation.

• Interface Management:
  Design, manage, and troubleshoot complex inbound and outbound interfaces. You must understand the technical nuances of how data moves via APIs (REST/SOAP), flat-file interfaces, and FBDI across the enterprise ecosystem.

• Custom Software Oversight:
  Manage the architecture for any custom software or third-party applications that touch the AR, Collections, or Cash modules.

Financial Operations & Accounting Logic

• Invoicing & Re-billing:
  Manage the technical and functional processes for invoicing and re-billing, ensuring accurate processing of credit memos and new invoices.

• Accounting Integrity:
  Deep understanding of the underlying debits and credits for all transactions (e.g., Invoices, Receipts, Adjustments). You must be able to trace a transaction from subledger to the final GL journal entry.

• Close Process Support:
  Lead support for month-end close processes, specifically diagnosing technical failures in subledger accounting and AR close.

Strategic Transformation & QA

• Fusion Migration:
  Participate as a core technical member in the Finance digital transformation and future migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud.

• Technical QA:
  Lead the functional design, quality assurance (QA), and testing for approved application changes. This includes rigorous testing of inbound and outbound interfaces to ensure payload accuracy and data integrity.

Business Partnership

• Stakeholder Support:
  Serve as the primary point of contact for Accounting Services, Billing, and Collections.

• M&A Integration:
  Analyze and understand the technical impact of M&A, divestitures, and Chart of Accounts (COA) changes on the AR subledger and interface logic.

Education & Core Experience

• Experience:
  
  Bachelor's Degree (MIS, CS, Business, or related) and 5+ years of experience supporting Finance, Accounting, AR, and Cash Application users with application design, development, and implementation.

• Broad Footprint:
  Experience must include a strong understanding of Accounts Payable (AP) and how it fits into the overall Cash Management and General Ledger architecture.

Functional & Technical Expertise

• ERP Systems:
  Required problem-solving skills on Oracle EBS R12 and Oracle Fusion Cloud.

• Architecture & APIs:
  Ability to manage and design interfaces native to Oracle, as well as custom integrations. Must understand APIs, flat-file interfaces, and integration patterns (Inbound/Outbound).

  Deep knowledge of Order-to-Cash, Billing, Re-billing, Collections, and month-end close processes.
