Description

• Lead the end-to-end implementation of the new Oracle Supply Chain Planning platform, covering Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Capacity Planning, and Scenario Modeling.
• Serve as the business lead for the initiative; define business requirements, future-state processes, success criteria, milestones, and guardrails.
• Partner deeply with IT as the primary business counterpart to ensure functional design aligns with operational needs across all BUs.
• Oversee pilots, phased rollouts, validation cycles, and global adoption models ensuring consistent execution across regions.
• Develop and drive standard global planning workflows, data structures, and governance models—enabling all BUs to operate under a unified planning process regardless of differing ERPs, MRPs, or legacy practices.
• Establish a scalable sustainability model for long-term system maintenance, enhancements, and training.
• Ensure harmonized planning hierarchies, item attributes, calendars, and key planning parameters across all sites.
• Translate complex technical and planning concepts into clear, concise messages for business leaders.
• Facilitate workshops with functional groups (BU Planning Leads, IT, Operations, Customer Service, Finance, Procurement).
• Lead organizational-change efforts including communication, role clarity, training, and process readiness.
• Advocate for disciplined decision-making; establish “rules of engagement” and hold stakeholders accountable.
• Identify, quantify, and communicate project risks and impacts transparently to leadership.
• Recommend mitigation paths grounded in data, process rigor, and business realities.
• Recognize when to escalate issues and possess the fortitude to challenge decisions that jeopardize system integrity or sustainability.
• Develop long-term digital capabilities including master data governance, KPI dashboards, predictive analytics, and workflow automation.
• Partner with the Director of Supply Chain Planning to integrate system outputs into S&OE, SIOP, and strategic planning rhythms.
• Build planning-system standards, governance structures, and E2E data flows that directly enhance S&OE and SIOP outcomes across all BUs.
• Ensure that short-term execution metrics (RDSL/PDSL, supply adherence, production readiness) and long-term demand/supply balancing processes (demand consensus, supply shaping, financial alignment) are fully supported by the planning platform’s capabilities.
• Drive alignment so that all BU planning teams use harmonized tools, data definitions, and system logic—creating a consistent “single version of truth” feeding all planning horizons.
• Establish robust linkages between lower-level planning logic (MRP, detailed scheduling inputs, BOM accuracy, lead times, ATP/CTP rules) and higher-level business rhythms, enabling measurable improvements in predictability and performance.

Required Education, Experiences & Skills

• Deep understanding of planning parameters, master data, forecast consumption, constraint-based planning, and end-to-end process flows.
• Exceptional communication skills—capable of simplifying complexity, influencing senior leaders, and translating technical issues into business impacts.
• Strong “voice of reason” with the ability to define boundaries, make difficult tradeoffs, and maintain project discipline.
• Proven ability to identify, quantify, and articulate risks and opportunities.
