Principal Consultant-PPM-UAE

Role – Principal Consultant Technology – Oracle Cloud Fusion Location – UAE (Onsite) Business Unit – ORCALL Compensation – Competitive (including bonus) Job Description

Own the end-to-end Oracle Fusion PPM solution across Project Foundation, Project Management, Project Costing and Project Billing, in partnership with Client X's project and finance leadership, with the target solution baselined during the Discovery & Blueprint phase.

Lead requirement gathering, fit-gap analysis and solution design for the PPM workstream — aligning project structures, costing and billing flows to Client X's operating model and integrating cleanly with Finance (GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets) and HCM/Payroll.

Own the PPM configuration workbooks (BR100), key design decisions and process-flow validation, using Infosys accelerators to speed up design and build.

Define and agree PPM scope boundaries — in-scope project types, costing and billing flows, conversions and integrations in scope; historical/closed projects and data archival out of scope — and elevate exceptions to the programme.

The PPM Solution Lead holds solution accountability for the Oracle Fusion PPM workstream — design, build, test, cutover and go-live — within a phased, dual-track Oracle Cloud transformation spanning HCM, Finance, PPM, SCM, WMS, Reporting, AI, Integration and Data Migration. Based onsite, this role is the day-to-day face of the PPM workstream to Client X's project and finance stakeholders and the first point of escalation for PPM design and delivery decisions, delivering the Phase 1 go-live (HCM, Finance, PPM) alongside the Finance and Payroll tracks and supporting stabilization through the Implementation window.

• Serve as the trusted PPM advisor to client project and finance stakeholders, owning end-to-end design across Project Foundation, Project Management, Project Costing and Project Billing (and Project Contracts where in scope), and translating business requirements into a standard, Oracle-led Fusion solution.

• Lead the onsite/offshore PPM team across the seven-stage lifecycle — Discovery & Blueprint, detailed design, configuration and build, CRP, testing, cutover and post go-live support — coordinating with the Finance, HCM/Payroll, Integration and Data Migration leads under the Phase 1 Lead and PMO governance.

• Own and govern PPM configuration and BR100 sign-offs, project/task/budget/cost/event conversion mapping and reconciliation, and PPM integrations and interfaces to Finance (GL/SLA), Procurement and HCM/Payroll labor costing — ensuring accurate, reconciled data across every conversion cycle from first mock run through production cutover.

• Drive PPM SIT, UAT, regression testing, defect management, business validation and sign-off in coordination with the testing track.
• Ensure PPM go-live readiness — configuration, data migration, integrations, security validation and user readiness — before production deployment.
• Support cutover execution for PPM — runbook tasks, dependencies and Go/No-Go inputs — and lead PPM stabilization and issue resolution during post go-live support.

• Act as the primary PPM client-facing lead — governance, decision facilitation, risk and issue management, and stakeholder engagement — building trusted relationships with client project and finance leadership to ensure successful delivery of the PPM workstream within the wider transformation.

• 8+ years of experience in Oracle Cloud / ERP Project Portfolio Management, including at least 3–4 full life-cycle Oracle Fusion PPM implementations.
• Deep functional expertise across Oracle Fusion Project Foundation, Project Management, Project Costing and Project Billing;
  Project Contracts and Grants exposure is an advantage.
• Strong understanding of PPM integration points with Finance (GL, Subledger Accounting, AP, AR, Fixed Assets), Procurement and HCM/Payroll labour costing.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle configuration and delivery — BR100, CRP/SIT/UAT — and PPM data conversion (projects, tasks,…
