Role Summary
The FCCS Technical Administrator supports day-to-day technical administration of Oracle FCCS and related consolidation applications. The role is accountable for application configuration support, close-cycle readiness, data integration monitoring, environment migration support, and production issue resolution. This role also contributes to documentation, process standardization, automation of recurring activities, and support model maturity across the consolidation platform.

Key Responsibilities

1. Operational Support & Stability
• Provide day-to-day support for monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycles, ensuring the application is available, jobs are monitored, and critical close activities are completed on schedule.

• Assist with hierarchy and member maintenance, including entity, account, movement, intercompany, and custom dimensions, ensuring alignment with governance standards and downstream reporting needs.
• Validate configuration changes in lower environments and support deployment readiness checks prior to migration to production.
• Participate in close-cycle readiness activities by confirming key system settings, business rules, data load processes, and job dependencies are in place before period open.

3. Data Integration, Automation & Monitoring
• Support recurring data loads, reconciliations, and validation processes using Data Management, Data Exchange, EPM Automate, REST APIs, and file-based integration patterns as applicable.
• Assist in developing and maintaining scripts and automation routines for common administrative tasks such as backups, imports/exports, file movement, validation reports, and scheduled execution sequences.
• Monitor scheduled jobs and interfaces, investigate failures, rerun processes where appropriate, and escalate issues with clear impact assessment and supporting evidence.

• Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort through targeted automation, improved job sequencing, and stronger exception handling.
4. Environment Management & Migration
• Support controlled migrations across DEV, TEST, and PROD environments using established deployment standards and release procedures.
• Prepare and validate migration artifacts, assist with smoke testing after deployments, and document outcomes, issues, and rollback considerations.
• Help maintain runbooks, environment inventories, and deployment logs to improve traceability and release quality.
• Coordinate with architects, product owners, and other technical resources to ensure configuration changes are sequenced and communicated appropriately.

5. Governance, Documentation & Collaboration
• Maintain administration and support documentation, including SOPs, job schedules, data flow references, and issue resolution notes.
• Support audit and compliance requirements, including evidence retention, access reviews, change documentation, and adherence to SOX-related controls.
