Role Overview: We are looking for a seasoned Functional Consultant specializing in Oracle Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP;) and Demand Management to partner with business stakeholders in shaping, streamlining, and governing the demand-to-supply planning process.

• Drive consensus demand planning by facilitating alignment between statistical forecasts, sales inputs, and market intelligence
• Define and refine forecasting hierarchies, planning calendars, KPIs,



and exception-management workflows aligned to business objectives
• Lead fit-gap analysis 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
