Advise clients on payroll processes, integrations, fast formulas, reports, data movement, risks, and cross-module impacts. Lead workshops, manage client expectations, mentor consultants, coordinate vendors, support business development, and provide strategic technology guidance to senior stakeholders.
JOB SUMMARY:
A Lead Consultant at Argano is a highly experienced consulting professional who manages mid- to large-size client engagements and contributes to the growth of the practice. They provide expert technology advice, guidance, and solutions to help clients optimize their infrastructure, processes, and strategies — while indirectly mentoring consultants across other teams and levels. Lead Consultants bring deep technical knowledge (including security, data management, and crisis management) along with strong communication skills and the ability to work well within a team, consistently delivering quality work that drives customer satisfaction.
If you're energized by solving complex Payroll challenges and turning them into scalable Oracle Cloud solutions — and you're ready to lead at the next level while shaping the future of our consulting practice — this is the role for you!
RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Lead client workshops to gather functional requirements and align them to Oracle Cloud functionality; align existing client processes with validated HCM Cloud methods.
- Identify requirement and design gaps, including inbound/outbound payroll integrations and fast formula specifications, and develop solutions to close them.
- Configure, design, and document the Oracle Cloud Payroll environment to meet client requirements; advise clients on options, risks, and cross-process/system impacts.
- Manage your module track end-to-end — scope, client expectations, risk identification, technical object design (interfaces, fast formulas, reports), cross-module impacts, and test script execution.
- Provide expert guidance across parallel projects while training and mentoring junior associates.
- Collaborate with clients to assess business objectives and challenges, recommend technology solutions, and develop long-term client strategies.
- Coordinate with third-party vendors as needed and provide ongoing technical support and optimization recommendations post-implementation.
- Participate in internal forums for training, teamwork, and innovative design; act as a visionary leader in the Oracle Cloud space.

- Deep knowledge of Oracle Cloud implementation methodology, common client/implementation team challenges, and the ability to advise on data movement impacts to upstream and downstream systems.
- Proven ability to manage and deliver large projects and communicate effectively at senior client levels, balancing big-picture strategy with detailed execution.
- Demonstrated ability to lead, train, and mentor others, work well autonomously and in a team environment, and build long-lasting client relationships.
- Self-motivated with a commitment to continuous learning on Oracle Cloud trends and releases; prior experience in a professional services firm or relevant industry role preferred.
SKILL REQUIREMENTS:
