Sr. Analyst, Financial Systems: Oracle GL and Financial Close

About the role

The Senior Analyst, Oracle GL & Financial Close Systems plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of financial close cycles in Alignment Health's Medicare Advantage business. This role requires a deep understanding of Oracle Financials, particularly the General Ledger and Financial Close modules, and involves working closely with the Corporate Accounting team to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Develop and Sustain Financial Reporting Infrastructure
• Build, maintain, and optimize complex financial reports using Oracle Financial Reporting Studio (FRS), Smart View, and OTBI, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Drive root-cause analysis, implement preventive controls, and maintain clear runbook documentation to minimize recurrence and protect the integrity of every financial close cycle.
• 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 GL and Financial Close workstreams during the Oracle implementation.
• After-Hours & Business Continuity Support
• The financial close does not stop for weekends — and neither does this role. This position is expected to participate in an on-call rotation to support critical GL system failures, close monitor errors, and integration issues outside of standard business hours.

Requirements

• 7+ years of progressive IT experience in Oracle Financials, with a minimum of 4 years focused specifically on the General Ledger and Financial Close modules in a production environment
• Demonstrated ability to maintain GL configurations including COA mapping, Ledger Sets, Accounting Calendars, and Data Access Sets
• Solid understanding of US GAAP or IFRS accounting principles — sufficient to understand the business purpose behind a journal entry, not just the technical mechanics of posting it
• Prior experience in a Medicare Advantage, managed care, or health insurance organization, particularly supporting medical cost accruals, risk adjustment journal entries, or intercompany eliminations across plan entities
• Experience with data privacy and financial compliance requirements (SOX, HIPAA, SoD) as they apply to GL system governance and audit readiness
• Experience in a regulated healthcare, insurance, or financial services environment
• Working knowledge of FBDI and ADFdi for bulk GL data loads and sub-ledger integrations
• Familiarity with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for managing inbound GL interfaces from sub-ledgers and third-party systems
• Oracle Financials Cloud: General Ledger Implementation Professional certification (required per manager's draft; strongly preferred minimum)
• Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close certification
• Oracle Cloud Platform Application Integration Specialist certification

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Finance, Accounting, or a related field with a strong technical background; equivalent professional experience may be considered
• Master's degree in Information Systems, Accounting, or Finance is a plus
• Coursework or background in healthcare finance, managed care accounting, or regulatory reporting for health plans is a differentiator for this role
• Training Required: Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials GL module through formal implementation or sustained production support experience
• Working knowledge of FBDI and ADFdi for bulk GL data loads and sub-ledger interface management
• Essential Physical Functions: The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
