We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion, and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience.

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 consists of Enterprise Applications, 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.

You will undertake the role of a senior/lead consultant specializing in Oracle Cloud Payroll solution definition and implementation. Your activity for the EA Practice will include both pre-sales and post-sales assignments, with the latter in both advisory and project engagements, but with a focus on project delivery roles. Scope of engagements will include services spanning full HCM & ERP solutions, using Oracle Cloud SaaS products in the main, but extending to other parts of the Oracle Cloud footprint and other solutions and technologies where needed.

Within project engagements and sales activity, you will promote a strong working relationship and team spirit with both Grant Thornton colleagues and customer project teams. Additionally, outside specific opportunity and project activity, you will contribute particularly to solution and proposition development and business development.

As a Enterprise Application HCM Lead Consultant within our team practice, you will:

• Work on a wide-reaching range of projects that will help businesses and communities flourish.
• Do what's right even when no one's looking, impacting our clients and our firm.
• Own the Payroll solution definition and delivery, collaborating with other senior sales and delivery leaders.
• Engage in the detail of Payroll solutions using your experience as a Payroll specialist implementation consultant.
• Take responsibility for all functional aspects of an Oracle Cloud Payroll implementation and be hands-on regarding technical aspects.
• Lead Payroll solution teams in the implementation of Payroll solutions while collaborating with EA practice leaders, Project Managers, and Solutions Architects.
• Measure your responsibilities in terms of successful design and delivery of Payroll projects and achieving reference ability of those customers.

Joining us as a HCM Lead Consultant, the minimum criteria you'll need is relevant Oracle certification in Cloud HCM/Payroll, and multiple years' experience in similar Consulting/Project roles, covering both successful project delivery and related sales/practice development activity.

Your experience will include:

• Payroll implementation consultant and Payroll lead experience with strong solution design and hands-on functional and technical delivery.
• Knowledge of end user aspects of Payroll processing and advisory consulting related to Payroll best practices.
• Wider Oracle Cloud HCM experience, with Certification in other Oracle Cloud HCM modules.
• Experience of building lasting relationships with C Level and Senior Solution stakeholders.
• Excellent verbal and written communications.
• Experience in Project Delivery roles encompassing project leadership and oversight.
• Willingness to travel up to 100% at times depending on customer requirements.

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people. We value difference and respect our colleagues to help everyone perform at their best.

Life is more than work. 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.
