Shape the Future of Supply Chain Transformation
This is your opportunity to move beyond solution delivery and become a trusted advisor to some of the UK's most ambitious organisations.
As a Principal Oracle SCM Solution Architect, you will help senior business and technology leaders solve complex supply chain challenges, define enterprise-wide Oracle Cloud strategies, and make critical transformation decisions that deliver measurable business value.

- Navigate ambiguity and provide clarity in complex environments.

You'll become a trusted partner to CIOs, Supply Chain Directors, Transformation Leaders, and Programme Sponsors, helping organisations maximise the value of their Oracle investments.
What You'll Be Doing
Strategic Solution Leadership
- Lead Oracle SCM solution architecture across transformation, optimisation, and cloud adoption programmes.
- Advise clients on operating models, supply chain processes, and Oracle Cloud strategy.
- Facilitate executive workshops, discovery sessions, design authorities, and roadmap planning activities.
- Develop high-quality architecture artefacts, including:
- Solution options and recommendations
- Transformation roadmaps
- Target operating model inputs
- Business capability assessments
- Cross-functional impact analyses
- Shape end-to-end Oracle solutions spanning Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, Planning, Product Management, Data, Reporting, and Integration.
