The Senior Analyst, Oracle GL & Financial Close Systems (remote)is the technical subject matter expert responsible for the stability, configuration, and optimization of Oracle Cloud Financials' General Ledger and Financial Close environment - the operational core that ensures every dollar is accurately recorded, reconciled, and reported in our Medicare Advantage business. Working as the primary technical partner to the Corporate Accounting team, this role ensures that period-end close cycles run flawlessly, sub-ledger integrations are intact, and financial reporting meets the accuracy standards required by US GAAP, SOX, and CMS regulatory frameworks. In a Medicare Advantage organization, the stakes of GL and close accuracy are uniquely high - from medical cost accruals and risk adjustment entries to intercompany eliminations across plan entities - making this role essential to both our financial integrity and our ability to meet regulatory reporting deadlines with confidence. Job Duties / Responsibilities May include but are not limited to 1. Provide Expert Technical Support for Financial Close Cycles Serve as the primary technical resource for the Corporate Accounting team during Monthly, Quarterly, and Year-End close cycles, ensuring that all close activities execute on time and without system-related disruption. Troubleshoot complex journal entry issues - including automated accruals, recurring journals, cross-validation rule failures, and sub-ledger posting errors - resolving root causes before they impact close timelines or financial statement accuracy. 2. Maintain General Ledger Configuration and System Setup Own and maintain all GL system configurations - including Chart of Accounts (COA) mapping, Accounting Calendars, Ledger Sets, Data Access Sets, and cross-validation rules - ensuring the Oracle General Ledger remains correctly structured as the business grows and evolves. Manage technical workflows supporting multi-currency translations, revaluations, and intercompany consolidations and eliminations across Medicare Advantage plan entities. 3. Automate and Optimize the Financial Close Process Identify and implement automation opportunities within the Oracle Close Monitor and broader close workflow to reduce manual cycle time, eliminate repetitive tasks, and increase the reliability of period-end execution. Apply scripting and automation tools - including Python, PowerShell, and Infrastructure as Code ( IaC ) principles - to streamline GL processes and build a more resilient, repeatable close environment. 4. Manage Sub-Ledger Integrations and Data Integrity Monitor and troubleshoot inbound interfaces from Oracle sub-ledgers (AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Payroll) and external third-party systems - including healthcare-specific platforms - ensuring that all transactions post accurately and completely to the General Ledger. Build and maintain technical queries (SQL) to support the Corporate Accounting team in reconciling sub-ledger balances to the GL and resolving out-of-balance conditions rapidly. 5. Develop and Sustain Financial Reporting Infrastructure Build, maintain, and optimize complex financial reports using Oracle Financial Reporting Studio (FRS), Smart View, and OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence), providing Corporate Accounting and Finance leadership with the accurate, timely reporting they need to manage the business and meet external obligations. Ensure that reporting workloads are query- optimized so they do not degrade transaction processing performance during peak financial close periods. 6. Enforce Compliance, Security, and Audit Readiness Maintain Segregation of Duties ( SoD ) controls within the GL module and support internal and external audit requests by providing system logs, configuration snapshots, and data lineage documentation. Ensure all GL configurations, journal entries, and system changes are documented in alignment with SOX internal control requirements and CMS financial reporting standards applicable to Medicare Advantage organizations. 7. Serve as Tier 3/4 Escalation Expert for GL Incidents Act as the final technical escalation point for complex, high-priority incidents involving the Oracle General Ledger - including out-of-balance ledgers, reconciliation discrepancies, integration failures, and close monitor errors.
