process ownership remains with Group Finance and Tax.\nThis role owns the platforms behind the Group's consolidation, tax and financial planning processes.\nRELATED YEAR OF EXPERIENCE\nMinimum of 6-8+ years of hands-on experience across Enterprise Performance Management platforms, with required knowledge of both Oracle EPM and Anaplan.\nFIELD OF EXPERIENCE\nConsolidation, tax and financial planning processes: financial close and consolidation, tax provisioning and compliance, budgeting and forecasting\nSpecifying and testing changes delivered through vendors or outsourced delivery models\nMulti-entity or group environments are preferred\nTECHNICAL AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS\nProcess-first mindset, anchored in Consolidation, Tax and financial planning outcomes, fluent across the platforms that serve them\nReliable under calendar pressure; understands that close, filing and budget deadlines are immovable\nRigorous on data accuracy and cross-platform reconciliation\nProactive in proposing landscape improvements and rationalization rather than waiting for requests\nQUALIFICATION\nBachelor's degree in a relevant field is required\nOracle EPM and/or Anaplan certifications are an advantage","description_format":"text","description_chars":4297,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate","Real Estate Investment","Property Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T05:28:18Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":356,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aldar-properties-pjsc-senior-associate-epm","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aldar-properties-pjsc-senior-associate-epm.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T16:54:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
