The Senior Analyst, Oracle EPM & FP&A Systems (remote)is the technical subject matter expert responsible for the design, administration, and optimization of Oracle's Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) environment — the platform that powers our Medicare Advantage financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and long-range strategic modeling. Working at the intersection of technology and finance, this role partners directly with the FP&A team, Corporate Finance leadership, and the Senior Director of Enterprise Financial Systems to ensure that planning models, data pipelines, and reporting tools are accurate, performant, and built to support agile decision-making throughout the annual planning cycle and beyond.In a Medicare Advantage organization, where annual CMS bid submissions, medical cost forecasting, and Stars/Risk Adjustment financial modeling depend on precise, real-time planning data, this role is a critical enabler of both financial performance and regulatory integrity.
Job Duties / Responsibilities
May include but are not limited to
1. Administer and Optimize the Oracle EPM Planning Environment
Manage, configure, and continuously improve the Oracle Cloud EPM (Planning & Budgeting / PBCS/EPBCS) or Hyperion Planning/Essbase environment to ensure it remains stable, performant, and aligned with evolving business requirements. Design and maintain complex Business Rules, Calculation Scripts, and Member Formulas that power driver-based planning models, ensuring that Finance users can plan with speed and confidence across all budget and forecast cycles.
2. Maintain Data Integrity Between ERP and EPM Systems
Architect and sustain automated data pipelines between Oracle Fusion Cloud GL and EPM Planning cubes using Data Management (FDMEE) or the EPM Integration Agent, ensuring a single, trusted version of financial actuals flows into every planning scenario. Manage the synchronization of key dimensions — including Entity, Cost Center, Product, and Plan Type — across ERP and FP&A systems so that metadata remains consistent and audit-ready at all times.
3. Deliver Advanced Analytics and Executive Reporting
Build and maintain executive-level dashboards, Web Forms, and Narrative Reports using Oracle EPM Infolets and Financial Reporting Studio, giving Finance leadership real-time visibility into budget versus actuals, rolling forecasts, and long-range plan performance. Support FP&A analysts with Smart View configuration and best practices, enabling deep-dive multidimensional analysis while protecting the integrity of the underlying planning models.
4. Enable Strategic Scenario Modeling and Forecasting
Support the technical configuration of Oracle Predictive Planning and Auto-Predict features to enhance forecast accuracy across medical costs, revenue, and enrollment projections. Assist Finance in building "what-if" technical scenarios for strategic events — including market entry, benefit design changes, or CMS payment rate adjustments — providing the technical infrastructure that transforms financial strategy into actionable model outputs.
5. Ensure Security, Governance, and SOX Compliance
Maintain strict cell-level security, security filter design, and data access controls within Oracle EPM to protect sensitive payroll, compensation, and strategic financial data from unauthorized access. Ensure all metadata changes, script modifications, and system configurations are thoroughly documented to satisfy SOX audit requirements and internal governance standards.
6. Provide Tier 3/4 Escalation Support and System Reliability
Serve as the final technical escalation point for complex incidents involving Oracle EPM — including Essbase cube failures, calculation errors, data load issues, and planning model discrepancies — during critical periods such as the annual budget cycle and quarterly forecast submissions. Drive root-cause analysis, implement preventive controls, and maintain clear runbook documentation to minimize recurrence and protect planning continuity.
Supervisory Responsibilities
This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct supervisory responsibility. The incumbent is expected to provide technical mentorship to junior analysts and may serve as the technical lead for EPM-related project workstreams during the Oracle implementation.
After-Hours & Business Continuity Support
The annual budget cycle and quarterly forecast submissions do not pause for weekends.
This position is expected to participate in an on-call rotation to support critical EPM system failures, data load issues, and calculation errors outside of standard business hours.
The incumbent must be available for elevated support during peak planning windows — including Annual Operating Plan (AOP) season, quarterly forecast cycles, and CMS bid preparation periods — when EPM system reliability is directly tied to regulatory and financial deliverables.

Financial Systems Analyst Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a financial systems analyst in California?
Most financial systems analysts in California enter the field with a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, information systems, or computer science. California does not require a state license for this role, but employers consistently favor candidates with ERP certifications from vendors such as Oracle or SAP, or credentials like the Certified Management Accountant from the Institute of Management Accountants. Building experience through IT or accounting roles at California's large technology firms, healthcare systems, or financial institutions is the most direct path.
Which companies hire financial systems analysts in California?
Employers hiring financial systems analysts in California right now include Alignment Health, MiniMed, and UCLA Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's deep concentration of technology headquarters, major health systems, and large government contractors means consistent demand from employers across multiple industries.
Which California cities have the most financial systems analyst jobs?
Orange, Los Angeles, and Napa have the most financial systems analyst openings in California. The San Francisco Bay Area and San Jose draw the bulk of postings because of the region's density of technology companies and financial services firms, while Los Angeles generates strong demand through its entertainment, healthcare, and aerospace sectors, each of which relies on complex financial systems infrastructure.
Are there remote financial systems analyst jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields, because financial systems analysis is fundamentally desk-based and system-driven work that translates well to remote environments. About 100% of financial systems analyst openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broad adoption across technology and financial services employers. Implementation and go-live support phases are most likely to require on-site presence, while configuration, testing, and reporting work are frequently done fully remote.
How can I get hired as a financial systems analyst in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a finance operations or accounting role into systems work, since California employers at firms like Kaiser Permanente and large county government agencies regularly hire junior analysts from their own AP, AR, or general ledger teams. Earning a vendor certification in Oracle NetSuite or SAP before applying strengthens a candidate's case considerably. Business analyst, accounting technician, and IT support roles at California's large healthcare networks and public universities also serve as common lateral entry points.
Where can I find and apply to financial systems analyst jobs in California?
You can find and apply to financial systems analyst jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings across industries and experience levels. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
