OCI is hiring a strategic, execution-focused Supply Chain Planner to establish and operate the end-to-end planning cadence for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This IC4 role turns customer deployment signals into executable plans for Oracle-provided components, customer-integrated racks, deployment readiness, and service inventory while maintaining clear visibility of risks, dependencies, and decisions across the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) ecosystem.
Internal Responsibilities
Integrated supply plan: Own the planning model that connects customer rack forecasts, Oracle-provided component requirements, manufacturing and logistics commitments, data-center deployment priorities, and service readiness.
Demand translation and supply feasibility: Convert customer rack-level forecasts into time-phased demand for Oracle-provided assemblies and components, including BOM usage, lead-time offsets, allocation logic, and inventory positioning. Load and manage independent demand in Fusion Demand Management and Supply Planning.
Planning cadence and execution control: Establish a regular operating rhythm with Demand Planning, Materials Program Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Execution, Commodity, Logistics, and customer or integrator counterparts. Reconcile plan versus actual, assess clean-to-build readiness, and drive recovery actions.
Customer-integrator readiness: Validate that customer-provided racks are aligned to Oracle deployment requirements: approved configuration and test data, TDMS data availability, advance shipment notification timing, required identifiers, and in-country delivery milestones.
Oracle-provided component fulfillment: Plan and monitor the supply, drop-ship execution, and delivery status of Oracle-provided components to the customer-designated integrator. Identify gaps in supplier commit, capacity, material availability, or order timing before they affect deployment.
Visibility and controls: Define practical planning requirements for tracking non-Oracle-owned racks and service components through receipt, deployment, repair, and return flows, including part- and serial-number traceability, chain of custody, dummy SO/PO milestones, inventory reporting, and exception handling.
Service inventory and transitions: Partner on FRU and seedstock planning, including customer min/max assumptions, early-deployment surge coverage, actual failure-rate feedback, replenishment triggers, product changes, and end-of-life or disposition readiness.
Decision support: Deliver concise, executive-ready views of supply health, deployment coverage, constraints, decisions, owners, and mitigation progress. Escalate with a clear recommendation and quantified tradeoffs.
How Success Will Be Measured
Plan credibility: A single, time-phased view of customer demand, Oracle component coverage, capacity, deployment dates, and critical assumptions is trusted by the working team and leadership.
Risk prevention: Material, capacity, data, logistics, and service-readiness gaps are visible early with owners, dates, recovery options, and decisions documented.
Deployment readiness: Customer-integrated racks meet agreed data, configuration, test, identification, ASN, and delivery prerequisites before data-center intake.
Operational discipline: Forecast-to-commit, plan-versus-actual, and inventory-health reviews produce timely actions and measurable improvement in response time and execution predictability.
Demand Planning: forecast quality, product mix, deployment priorities, and demand changes.
Materials Program Management and Materials Execution: clean-to-build status, supplier commits, shortages, allocations, and recovery plans.
Engineering and Product Operations: BOM and part-number readiness, product changes, qualification, configuration, and TDMS requirements.
Manufacturing and customer-designated integrators: capacity, test completion, schedule alignment, component delivery, and shipment
