Supply Chain Operations– Principal Supply Demand Planner 4

About the role

Oracle is seeking a Principal-level Supply/Demand Planner to drive end-to-end planning for assigned products, partnering with Sourcing, Demand Management, Finance, and suppliers to build resilient supply plans, optimize inventory strategies, and quickly resolve supply-demand imbalances that impact revenue, customer delivery, and margin. This is a highly visible role for a self-directed planner who can operate independently, lead cross-functional execution, and communicate forward-looking supply capability to senior leadership in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and own supply plans in partnership with Sourcing Management, Demand Management, and suppliers to meet customer and business commitments.
• Create inventory strategies (targets, buffers, risk mitigation approaches) that balance service levels, cost, and working capital.
• Identify and resolve supply-demand gaps (shortages/excess) and lead cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions that protect revenue and margin.
• Assess forward-looking revenue capability and supply risk, providing clear insights and scenarios to senior leadership for decision-making.
• Coordinate supply allocations when required, partnering with internal teams and suppliers to optimize outcomes and ensure fair, transparent execution.
• Present business results and recommendations to stakeholders across Supply Chain, Finance, and business units—translating complex analysis into actionable plans.
• Improve planning processes and systems by contributing to the design, development, and evaluation of new tools, metrics, and operating rhythms.
• Mentor and guide junior planners, providing direction, specialist knowledge, and training; support senior planners and management on ad-hoc initiatives.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships across Oracle lines of business and external suppliers, influencing without authority to drive alignment and results.
