Principal Solution Architect - Revenue Recognition & Receivables (Oracle Fusion)

Principal Solution Architect - Revenue Recognition & Receivables (Oracle Fusion)

Job Description Summary

This role is part of the IT Finance Systems team and provides senior solution leadership for Revenue Recognition and Receivables as GE HealthCare migrates from Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to Oracle Fusion Cloud. We are looking for a revenue accounting and order-to-cash practitioner who has delivered multiple ERP implementations across industries and can bring leading practices that go beyond any single platform. The role shapes global solution decisions and guides controlled, scalable capabilities across customer billing, receivables, revenue management, accounting, integrations, and reporting.

Job Description

In this role, you will

• Act as the design authority for revenue recognition and receivables: define target-state business processes and the solution architecture across invoicing, credit memos, receipts, adjustments, revenue accounting, reconciliation, close, and reporting.

• Advise Finance, Controllership, Commercial, Order-to-Cash, Tax, and business leaders on leading practices in billing and revenue accounting, drawing on experience from other industries and challenging current ways of working where a process should change rather than be configured around.

• Lead revenue recognition design for contract and transaction scenarios, including performance obligations, allocation, satisfaction events, contract modifications, variable consideration, billing-versus-revenue differences, and period-end accounting, in line with approved accounting policies under ASC 606 / IFRS 15.

• Define and govern the use and integration of Receivables, Revenue Management, Subledger Accounting, General Ledger, Tax, Cash Management, Order Management, and upstream billing or commercial systems, evaluating options and documenting trade-offs, controls, and accounting impact.

• Provide hands-on application leadership for configuration, setup validation, and prototyping, and assess downstream business, accounting, control, security, reporting, and integration impacts.

• Lead workshops, fit-gap analysis, solution confirmation, and design reviews, and manage decisions, risks, and dependencies.

• Oversee and produce high-quality functional specifications, process flows, user stories, accounting examples, mappings, test scenarios, and acceptance criteria for RICE components; guide technical teams on source-to-target mappings, event and accounting logic, interface controls, error handling, reconciliation, and reporting.

• Define test strategy and lead CRP, SIT, UAT, regression, conversion, cutover, and validation of invoices, receipts, revenue schedules, accounting entries, balances, and reports.

• Lead R12-to-Fusion migration and reconciliation of customer, transaction, receipt, open receivable, deferred or unearned revenue, and related accounting data.

• Drive training, deployment readiness, and hypercare, and own the solution beyond go-live, including controls, operational documentation, impact assessment of Oracle quarterly releases, enhancements, and continuous improvement.

• Mentor product team members, manage cross-workstream risks and dependencies, and communicate recommendations to senior stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, IT, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.

• 10+ years of experience in revenue accounting, order-to-cash, or finance systems, including ERP implementations.

• Deep expertise in revenue accounting and recognition that does not depend on any one system: the ASC 606 / IFRS 15 framework, contract and performance obligation analysis, allocation, deferred and unearned revenue, contract modifications, and the relationship between contracts, billing, receivables, and GL accounting.

• Led or held a principal design role in at least three end-to-end ERP implementations across at least two different industries, covering revenue recognition and/or order-to-cash.

• Proven ability to advise business stakeholders on alternative process models and leading practices, and to translate approved accounting policies into system requirements.

• Working expertise in Oracle Fusion Receivables, Subledger Accounting, and integration with Order Management, Cash Management, Tax, GL, and upstream systems (or Oracle E-Business Suite R12 equivalents), sufficient to validate configuration and explain accounting, control, reporting, and integration impacts.

• Experience leading functional design and partnering with technical teams on RICE components.

• Experience leading testing, defect resolution, data validation, reconciliation, conversion, deployment, and stabilization.

Preferred / Added Advantage

• Direct participation in an Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to Oracle Fusion migration.

• Experience with phased deployment and hybrid R12/Fusion coexistence.

• Hands-on experience with Oracle Revenue Management Cloud Service.

• Exposure to other ERP, billing, or revenue management platforms, which helps bring a platform-independent perspective.

• Knowledge of OTBI, BI Publisher, FBDI, web services, and light SQL for analysis and validation.

• Professional certification such as CPA, CA, or ACCA, or Oracle Cloud certification.

Desired Characteristics

• Platform-independent thinking and the credibility to challenge and influence senior Finance and business stakeholders.

• Strong business acumen and ability to translate finance requirements into scalable application solutions.

• Structured problem-solving, attention to detail, and ability to assess downstream process and system impacts.

• Strong collaboration and influencing skills across Finance, Business, Product, Architecture, Development, and external implementation partners.
• Continuous-improvement mindset focused on standardization, controls, adoption, and sustainable support.
