This role owns product outcomes, supply chain domain delivery, automation impact, and compliance readiness.

- Key Business POC – Supply Chain Leadership Partnership: Act as the primary point of contact for Supply Chain, Operations, and Manufacturing leadership. Translate business requirements into system design, present solution decisions clearly, and build trusted relationships that position IS&T as a strategic partner and not a ticket queue.

Ensure SOX-compliant operational controls across Purchase req & NIRA workflows, manufacturing, costing, and inventory, including proper segregation of duties and audit traceability. Support SOX walkthroughs, prepare audit PBC documentation, maintain control documentation, and drive audit remediation within Oracle Fusion SCM.
- Intelligent Automation Delivery: Design, implement, and drive AI and intelligent automation across supply chain planning, inventory management, logistics, and manufacturing operations. Identify opportunities to rationalize manual workarounds with native Oracle capability and champion intelligent automation use cases across the SCM domain.
- Data, Integrations & Insights: Collaborate with integration and engineering teams on extensions and integration of adjacent supply chain applications (e.g., LIMS, logistics platforms, carriers, PLM, QMS, MES), providing functional leadership, validation, and business context. Partner with data engineering teams to translate data into actionable insights and dashboards.
- Trusted Reporting: Understand Supply Chain reporting and analytical requirements and deliver dashboards, KPIs, and insights using Oracle tools (BIP/OTBI) or by partnering with BI/Analytics teams. Drive data-driven improvements across SCM operations.
- Advanced Demand Planning & Master Data Governance: Implement advanced demand planning capabilities, drive cleansing and standardization of BOM master data to ensure accurate costing results, and rearchitect the contract manufacturing process for improved scalability and efficiency.
- Onsite Business Partnership & Process Optimization: Spend time onsite with the business to deeply understand current processes and workflows, map these to Oracle Fusion capabilities, and proactively suggest improvements to drive process optimization and efficiency.
