[Remote] Sr. Analyst, Financial Systems: Oracle EPM and FP&A

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Alignment Health is hiring a Senior Analyst to administer, optimize, and support its Oracle EPM environment for financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and strategic modeling. The role partners with Finance teams to maintain reliable data pipelines and reporting, support scenario modeling, and ensure system security, compliance, and continuity.

Responsibilities

• Manage, configure, and continuously improve the Oracle Cloud EPM (Planning & Budgeting / PBCS/EPBCS) or Hyperion Planning/Essbase environment to ensure it remains stable, performant, and aligned with evolving business requirements. Design and maintain complex Business Rules, Calculation Scripts, and Member Formulas that power driver-based planning models, ensuring that Finance users can plan with speed and confidence across all budget and forecast cycles
• Architect and sustain automated data pipelines between Oracle Fusion Cloud GL and EPM Planning cubes using Data Management (FDMEE) or the EPM Integration Agent, ensuring a single, trusted version of financial actuals flows into every planning scenario. Manage the synchronization of key dimensions — including Entity, Cost Center, Product, and Plan Type — across ERP and FP&A systems so that metadata remains consistent and audit-ready at all times
• Build and maintain executive-level dashboards, Web Forms, and Narrative Reports using Oracle EPM Infolets and Financial Reporting Studio, giving Finance leadership real-time visibility into budget versus actuals, rolling forecasts, and long-range plan performance. Support FP&A analysts with Smart View configuration and best practices, enabling deep-dive multidimensional analysis while protecting the integrity of the underlying planning models
• Support the technical configuration of Oracle Predictive Planning and Auto-Predict features to enhance forecast accuracy across medical costs, revenue, and enrollment projections. Assist Finance in building "what-if" technical scenarios for strategic events — including market entry, benefit design changes, or CMS payment rate adjustments — providing the technical infrastructure that transforms financial strategy into actionable model outputs
• Maintain strict cell-level security, security filter design, and data access controls within Oracle EPM to protect sensitive payroll, compensation, and strategic financial data from unauthorized access. Ensure all metadata changes, script modifications, and system configurations are thoroughly documented to satisfy SOX audit requirements and internal governance standards
• Serve as the final technical escalation point for complex incidents involving Oracle EPM — including Essbase cube failures, calculation errors, data load issues, and planning model discrepancies — during critical periods such as the annual budget cycle and quarterly forecast submissions. Drive root-cause analysis, implement preventive controls, and maintain clear runbook documentation to minimize recurrence and protect planning continuity
