The Opportunity

Arup’s Finance Strategic Transformation Programme is a major global initiative supporting our Finance Vision through the implementation of Oracle Fusion ERP and EPM. By creating a modern, cloud-based finance platform, we will simplify processes, strengthen data and reporting, improve decision-making and deliver a better user experience across the organisation.

As a Finance Reporting Business Analyst, you will play a key role in shaping our future finance reporting and analytics capabilities. Working with Finance stakeholders, functional and technical teams, and our implementation partner, you will translate business requirements into consistent, trusted and user-focused reporting solutions across Oracle Fusion ERP, EPM and associated reporting tools.

You will help establish a controlled reporting framework, maximise the use of standard Oracle functionality and support the journey from legacy reporting to a streamlined, future-focused reporting landscape.

What you’ll do:

• Lead workshops with Finance stakeholders to understand and define operational, management, statutory and regulatory reporting requirements.
• Translate business needs into clear reporting specifications covering KPIs, measures, hierarchies, filters, security and data requirements.
• Develop and maintain the finance reporting catalogue, establishing clear ownership, purpose and reporting standards.
• Assess Oracle Fusion ERP and EPM reporting capabilities, promoting standard solutions and identifying genuine gaps.
• Support the design and delivery of reports, dashboards and analytics using OTBI, BI Publisher, Oracle EPM and other agreed reporting solutions.
• Help rationalise legacy reporting and establish consistent finance KPIs, definitions and reporting hierarchies.
• Work with finance, data and technology teams to resolve reporting, reconciliation and data-quality issues.
• Support prototyping, system and user acceptance testing, business sign-off, training and adoption.

Is this role right for you?

We’re looking for a Business Analyst with strong finance reporting and analytical experience, ideally gained within a large-scale Oracle Fusion ERP or EPM transformation.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in finance reporting, analytics or performance-management transformation.
• Strong knowledge of operational, management, statutory and regulatory finance reporting.
• Experience with Oracle Fusion reporting, particularly OTBI and BI Publisher, with exposure to Oracle EPM highly desirable.
• The ability to translate business questions into clear reporting, KPI, data and reconciliation requirements.
• A good understanding of financial data structures, chart of accounts and reporting hierarchies.
• Experience rationalising legacy reports and moving towards standardised, controlled reporting solutions.
• Strong analytical, documentation, testing and reconciliation skills.
• Confident communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between Finance and technical teams.
