Oracle Consultant

• Title: Oracle Consultant (Contractor) • Location: Remote • Duration: 12 months • Context: Large-scale Oracle HCM Time & Labor implementation for 30,000 employees. Role is urgent and critical. Core Responsibilities • Development, testing, and migration of Oracle HCM Time & Labor and Payroll elements. • Element expertise – ability to create, configure, and validate earnings & deduction codes (Oracle calls these “elements”). • Perform documentation of each step, including test scripts, scenarios, UAT, and validation of calculations. • Reviewing and validating HCM Data Loader (HDL) files (Excel tool to upload elements such as earnings/deductions). • Remediating and retesting defects. • Guide consultants (e.g., Arclight) to ensure elements are set up properly and advise on scenarios. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Payroll, IT, HRIT, consultants). • Act as both functional business analyst (understanding processes) and hands-on configurator (setting up elements). • Support project phases including migration, UAT, and preparation for go-live. Required Skills & Experience • Must have recent Oracle HCM Cloud experience (Time & Labor + Payroll). • Not acceptable: PeopleSoft, Workday, or outdated Oracle experience (e.g., “six patches ago”). • Recency requirement: Experience with latest Oracle quarterly patches (25A/25B/25C) from this year. Technical depth: • Strong functional/configuration knowledge (not pure coding/API). • Must understand backend payroll and time & labor engines. • Able to configure timecards, elements, and payroll flows. • Testing knowledge: UAT, defect remediation, validation of element calculations. Tools: • HCM Data Loader (HDL) – essential. • Excel – advanced skills. • Smartsheet/SharePoint – helpful but not core. Soft skills: • Strong communication (able to explain technical concepts clearly). • Relationship building across teams. • Problem-solving mindset, adaptability, independence, cultural flexibility. • Nice to have: CPP certification, large-scale implementation experience. First 30–90 Days Expectations First 30 days: • Review existing Oracle time & labor elements. • Validate correct setup and create new elements as needed. By 90 days: • Fully engaged in testing, defect remediation, and migration. • Able to work independently while collaborating across Payroll, IT, HRIT, and consultants. Interview Process 1. Round 1: Hiring Manager. 1. Round 2: Two leads (Payroll Systems & Time & Labor) – technical/functional deep dive. • This is the most critical round; pass/fail decision likely here. 1.
