Technical Lead - Finance Systems Programme (Oracle Fusion)

Overview

We're looking for a seasoned Technical Lead to guide the design, integration, and delivery of a major Finance Systems transformation powered by Oracle Fusion. This isn't a hands-on consulting role - it's about shaping the technical strategy, leading teams, and ensuring the programme lands successfully across a complex organisation.

What you'll be doing

• Define and own the technical architecture and integration approach, ensuring alignment with business and delivery goals.
• Oversee integration, data migration, and middleware strategy (OIC, AIS, APIs, or other enterprise platforms).
• Provide technical governance across multiple workstreams, ensuring consistency in standards, documentation, and design decisions.
• Lead and mentor a cross-functional technical team, balancing vendor contributions with internal capabilities.
• Work closely with project leadership to plan delivery, manage dependencies, and mitigate risks.
• Act as the senior technical liaison with suppliers, third-party vendors, and business stakeholders, driving clarity and resolution when challenges arise.
• Oversee technical quality assurance - from unit testing through SIT and into production readiness.

Who we're looking for

• Proven experience as a Technical Lead or Solution Architect on large-scale ERP/Finance transformation programmes.
• Strong track record in Oracle Fusion environments, with working knowledge of integration platforms (OIC, AIS, Azure, or APIs).
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and bring structure where governance or process may be unclear.
• Excellent stakeholder skills - able to influence system integrators, business leads, and technical teams alike.
• Strong delivery focus, with the ability to balance technical depth and programme outcomes.
• Experience overseeing documentation and governance frameworks (e.g., design authority, RAID logs, approvals for third-party tools).

Desirable

• Educated to degree level or equivalent vocational qualification.
• Experience in large-scale finance or ERP transformations, ideally with integration to multiple enterprise systems.
• Background in both architecture and delivery leadership.
