and driving planning maturity across the organization — translating business
needs into Oracle-enabled planning solutions rather than deep technical

- Partner with Sales,

and functional design workshops, ensuring the solution reflects industry
best practices and organizational planning maturity goals

- Act as the primary
liaison between business users and technical/IT teams during
implementation, enhancement, and support phases

- Develop and deliver
training, SOPs, and change management materials to drive user adoption of
planning processes and tools

- Analyse forecast
accuracy, bias, and planning KPIs (MAPE,



forecast attainment, inventory
turns) and recommend process improvements

- Support business case
development, ROI analysis, and planning process maturity assessments

- Provide thought
leadership on demand sensing, integrated business planning (IBP), and
S&OP; process design during client engagements or internal
transformation initiatives

Required Skills & Qualifications:

- 8+ years of experience
in supply chain planning, with robust functional expertise in Sales &
Operations Planning and Demand Management processes (Oracle Cloud/EBS
environment)

- Deep understanding of
demand planning methodologies — statistical forecasting, consensus
planning, new product introduction (NPI) forecasting, and lifecycle
planning

- Proven experience
designing and facilitating S&OP; governance processes, including
executive-level reviews

- Robust business process
orientation with the ability to bridge functional requirements and system
capabilities

- Excellent stakeholder
management, facilitation, and executive communication skills

- Experience conducting
workshops, requirements gathering sessions, and process maturity
assessments

- Working knowledge of
Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM (Demand Management, S&OP;) is expected, though
the focus is on process ownership rather than technical configuration

- Bachelor’s degree in
supply chain, Business, or related field; APICS/CPIM, CSCP, or SCOR
certification preferred; MBA a plus

Nice to Have:

- Experience in industries
such as manufacturing, CPG, retail, or life sciences

- Familiarity with
