Job Description:

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

Grant Thornton’s Business Consulting group consists of Enterprise Applications (EA), Technology, Finance, Operations, Deals and People focus areas. The Enterprise Applications (EA) Practice is responsible for advisory and project implementation services related to Oracle Cloud Applications and Technology in particular, and ERP/HCM applications advisory consultancy more generally.

The EA team is the leading enterprise solutions team within Grant Thornton and your success will be aligned to your ability to build an internal and external brand as an established leader for Oracle Cloud PPM solutions. Your knowledge will be visible and respected internally within the EA and Business Consulting teams and within Oracle UK’s sales and solution consulting teams.

We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

A look into the role

As an Enterprise Applications Oracle Cloud Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Consultant within our Business Consulting practice, you will:

• Undertake the role of a consultant or lead consultant specialising in Oracle Cloud PPM solution definition and implementation.
• Pre-sales and post-sales assignments, with the latter in both advisory and project engagements, but with a focus on project delivery roles.
• You will own the PPM solution definition and delivery (in collaboration with other senior sales and delivery leaders).
• Use your knowledge of Oracle ERP and PPM Cloud functionality to design specific client solutions, and to convince customers of the appropriateness of those solutions.
• Take responsibility for all functional aspects of Oracle Cloud PPM implementation, and engage in technical discussions to support the project technical teams where needed.

Knowing you’re right for us

Joining us as an Enterprise Applications Oracle Cloud Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Consultant, the minimum criteria you’ll need is relevant Oracle certification and experience in similar consulting/project roles, covering both successful project delivery and related sales/practice development activity. It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way.

• Wider Oracle Cloud ERP experience, with Certification and project implementation experience in other Oracle Cloud ERP modules, especially core Cloud Finance modules
• Experience of building lasting relationships with C Level and Senior Solution stakeholders.
• Excellent verbal and written communications – and a demonstrable track record of being able to use those skills to convince customers regarding your solution vision as part of sales and delivery processes
• Experience in Project Delivery roles encompassing project leadership and oversight alongside your individual contributor responsibilities
• While much of our project work is conducted in a hybrid manner, willingness to travel to work on customer sites as needed, mostly in UK, but through Europe & the Middle East by exception, is important.

Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.

Beyond the job 

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our CLEARR values – Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect and Responsibility.
