Job Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day on-premise Essbase cube administration and operations, including cube availability, processing, batch execution, and production readiness during close and forecast cycles.

• Develop, maintain, and standardize MaXL scripts to automate cube operations, security provisioning, data/metadata loads, refresh activities, and controlled maintenance routines.

• Build and maintain Essbase calc scripts to support allocations, currency translation, aggregation strategies, and performance-optimized calculation frameworks aligned to Finance reporting requirements.

• Design, maintain, and troubleshoot Essbase load rules and associated data/metadata load routines to ensure accurate, auditable, and repeatable processing outcomes. 

• Administer BSO/ASO outline management (dimensions, hierarchies, attributes, UDAs), including controlled hierarchy changes, impact assessment, and reconciliation support for reporting hierarchies.

• Manage Essbase security administration and access controls, partnering with governance stakeholders to enforce least-privilege and ensure timely provisioning and deprovisioning aligned to policy.

• Lead production incident triage and problem management for Essbase processing failures, performance degradation, and data/metadata issues, driving root-cause remediation and preventive controls.

• Partner with database administrators, server administrators, and internal technology teams to resolve infrastructure, connectivity, and performance issues impacting cube execution. Partner with data engineering and architecture teams working on data lake and lakehouse platforms (including Databricks) to ensure governed ingestion, transformation, and serving layers align with Essbase load requirements (data, metadata, dimensionality, lineage, and timing).

• Manage cube build, migration, and maintenance activities across environments, ensuring controlled deployments and robust validation.

• Collaborate with Finance stakeholders to coordinate submission calendars and validation checkpoints, translating business requirements into stable, automated Essbase operations.

• Produce and maintain runbooks and operational documentation, and drive measurable improvements in reliability and cycle-time.

  Contribute to data modeling efforts and support the design and development of upstream datamarts and database views that source Essbase cube loads, ensuring alignment to Finance dimensionality, reconciliation needs, and reporting requirements.
