Oracle Cloud PPM Consultant

You will own Oracle Fusion PPM for some of the biggest names in UK end user community. Not a seat on a delivery team. The functional lead, in the room with the CFO and the project directors, deciding how their project financials actually work.

If you know what a CVR is without opening a browser tab, keep reading.

Why this one is different Most Oracle PPM roles are generic. This is not.

Construction is one of the hardest verticals to get right in Fusion PPM. Applications for payment, retentions, variations, WIP, subcontractor management, cost value reconciliation. Standard PPM does not do any of that out of the box, which is exactly why the client needs someone who has already solved it rather than someone learning on their programme.

You will be the person who has been there before.
