This is an opportunity to move beyond implementation and become a trusted supply chain transformation advisor. As a Principal Oracle SCM Solution Architect, you'll partner with senior business and technology leaders to solve complex supply chain challenges, define enterprise-wide Oracle solution strategies, and guide critical transformation decisions.

We are seeking a highly experienced Oracle Supply Chain Solution Architect to provide strategic solution leadership across complex Oracle Cloud SCM transformation programmes.

As the lead supply chain advisor across a portfolio of Oracle Cloud clients, you will shape transformation roadmaps, guide critical design decisions, influence programme direction, and help organisations maximise the value of their Oracle investment. Many of our clients operate within highly regulated and operationally complex environments, where balancing business objectives, compliance requirements, and technology enablement is critical to success.

You will:

• Lead Oracle SCM solution architecture across discovery, design, delivery, optimisation, and transformation engagements.
• Advise senior client stakeholders on supply chain operating models, process design, Oracle capabilities, implementation approaches, and business outcomes.
• Facilitate discovery workshops, future-state design sessions, solution option assessments, roadmap planning, and design authority discussions.
• Develop high-quality architecture artefacts including: Solution option papers, Target operating model inputs, Conceptual solution designs, Roadmaps and transformation recommendations, Cross-functional impact assessments.
• Shape end-to-end Oracle solutions spanning Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, Product Management, Planning, Order Management, Reporting, Integration, and Data.

You will:

• Assess design decisions across multiple workstreams, identifying dependencies, risks, implementation complexity, and downstream impacts.
• Provide architectural leadership to programme teams, maintaining solution integrity throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Support design governance activities and present recommendations to Design Authorities, Steering Committees, and executive stakeholders.
• Help delivery teams resolve complex process, integration, data, and solution challenges.

You will:

• Support pre-sales activities, bids, solution shaping, demonstrations, and client workshops.
• Translate business challenges into compelling Oracle-enabled solution propositions.
