Principal Oracle EPM Cloud Consultant

Lead. Influence. Transform.

Are you a recognised Oracle EPM expert ready to operate at the highest level — shaping strategy, influencing senior stakeholders, and leading complex transformation programmes?

At Version 1, the UK & Ireland’s leading Oracle ERP & Cloud transformation partner, we are looking for a Principal Oracle EPM Cloud Planning Consultant to play a pivotal role in delivering some of the most ambitious planning and performance management programmes across government, public sector, and enterprise clients.

This is more than a delivery role — it’s a strategic leadership position for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, finance, and transformation.

• Assure quality and design integrity across delivery teams

Client Leadership & Advisory

You will:

• Build trusted relationships with CFOs, Finance Directors, and transformation sponsors
• Lead executive workshops and steer decision-making with confidence and credibility
• Translate complex technical solutions into clear, commercially focused narratives

Pre-Sales & Growth

You will:

• Lead high-value pre-sales engagements, proposals, and client presentations
• Shape compelling solution visions and demonstrations
• Support pipeline growth alongside Sales and Practice Leadership

Team Leadership & Capability Building

You will:

• Mentor and develop consultants across the EPM practice
• Influence recruitment, capability strategy, and ways of working
• Champion a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Exceptional stakeholder management — particularly with senior finance audiences
