Own the platforms behind three of the Group's core finance processes (financial consolidation, tax, and financial planning and analysis) across Aldar and its subsidiaries. The mandate is defined by these processes, not by a single vendor: the role spans the full Enterprise Performance Management landscape, including Oracle EPM and Anaplan.
Act as the accountable platform specialist for this landscape: partnering with Group Finance and Tax through every planning, close and filing cycle, translating process requirements into platform solutions, and ensuring the platforms are reliable, reconciled and continuously improved.
This role is exclusive for the UAE National.
Own the configuration, health and evolution of the Enterprise Performance Management landscape supporting Consolidation, Tax and financial planning and analysis, including Oracle EPM and Anaplan.
Maintain a coherent view across platforms: which process runs where, how they connect, and where the landscape should converge or evolve.
Contribute roadmap input, including adoption of new capabilities and rationalization opportunities across platforms.
Partner with Group Finance on consolidation and close cycles, with Tax on provisioning and compliance processes, and with financial planning and analysis teams on budgeting and forecasting.
Translate process requirements into platform solutions, selecting the right platform for each need and balancing standardization with legitimate entity-specific requirements.
Drive adoption and effective use of Enterprise Performance Management capabilities across Group and Subsidiary finance and tax teams.
Manage the enhancement backlog across the landscape; specify, test and release changes through the outsourced Solutions Factory model and platform vendors.
Ensure disciplined release management aligned to finance and tax calendar constraints (no changes that jeopardize close, filing or planning cycles).
Align all changes with Group architecture, security and integration standards.
Own integrations between the Enterprise Performance Management platforms, the Oracle ERP and other source systems, ensuring reliable, reconciled data flows.
Safeguard master data alignment and data accuracy across consolidation, tax and planning processes.
Ensure consistency of results across platforms where processes intersect (e.g., actuals feeding plans, consolidation outputs feeding tax).
Provide priority support during close, filing, budgeting and forecasting windows, coordinating with Technology Operations, managed services and vendors.
Manage incidents and service requests to resolution, protecting finance and tax deadlines.
Not a single-vendor platform role; the mandate spans the full Enterprise Performance Management landscape, including Oracle EPM and Anaplan.
Not a development role; build and configuration are executed through the Solutions Factory and vendors.
Not a finance or tax process owner; process ownership remains with Group Finance and Tax.
This role owns the platforms behind the Group's consolidation, tax and financial planning processes.
Minimum of 6-8+ years of hands‑on experience across Enterprise Performance Management platforms, with required knowledge of both Oracle EPM and Anaplan.
Process‑first mindset, anchored in Consolidation, Tax and financial planning outcomes, fluent across the platforms that serve them
Reliable under calendar pressure; understands that close, filing and budget deadlines are immovable
Rigorous on data accuracy and cross‑platform reconciliation
Proactive in proposing landscape improvements and rationalization rather than waiting for requests
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required
Oracle EPM and/or Anaplan certifications are an advantage
