At Bupa, we’re here to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives – and make a better world. We’re a global healthcare company with no shareholders, which means our customers come first in everything we do.

As Senior Finance Applications Specialist (Oracle EPBCS), you’ll help shape the future of how we report and plan across our global business. You’ll be part of a team that’s driving smarter, more efficient ways of working – especially in the growing area of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and financial planning.

We’ve invested in a global Oracle EPBCS platform to support our ESG and management reporting. It’s a strategic tool that’s evolving fast – and we’re looking for someone who can help us get the most out of it. If you’re passionate about finance systems, data, and making a real impact, this could be the perfect role for you.

How you’ll help us make health happen

As a Senior Finance Applications Specialist, you’ll play a key role in both the day-to-day running and future development of our Oracle EPBCS platform. You’ll:

Change:

Run:

• Drive the end-to-end process flow and data requirements to support ESG reporting (Scopes 1,2 and 3) and the inter-dependencies with other reporting processes.

• Support the Management Reporting and Financial Planning processes during peak reporting cycles and key deadlines.

• Take the lead in operating the Oracle applications, ensuring the appropriate controls and governance are in place. Collect (or personally identify), assess and implement functionality improvements and configuration changes to our systems to support a more efficient and easily maintainable reporting process.

• Provide a great level of service to the ESG reporting team, understanding in detail their reporting needs and being the go-to person for all system-related activities

• Solid experience of working in a complex and/or regulated environment and delivering and/or operating large-scale finance systems and models

• Understanding of demands faced by a large global company and its financial reporting process

• Ability to manage project schedules and workload within a collaborative team framework.
