Job Description

Principal Oracle SCM Solution Architect

YOU MUST BE SC CLEARED OR ELIGIBLE FOR CTC CLEARANCE. TO BE ELIGIBLE YOU MUST HAVE LIVED IN THE UK FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.

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.

Working across some of the most ambitious Oracle Cloud programmes in the market, you'll combine deep supply chain expertise, architectural leadership, and commercial acumen to deliver lasting business value.

You'll join a highly regarded Oracle practice where your insight, influence, and leadership will directly shape client success, practice growth, and the future of our Oracle SCM capability.

Why This Role Exists

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

This is not a configuration-focused role. It is a senior advisory and architecture position for an individual who can engage confidently with executive business and technology stakeholders, understand complex supply chain challenges, and translate them into practical Oracle-enabled solutions.

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 be comfortable operating independently at executive level, navigating ambiguity, facilitating complex decisions, and providing confident leadership in programmes where risk, complexity, and competing priorities are commonplace.

You will be a trusted advisor, a strategic thinker, and a recognised authority on how Oracle Cloud can enable supply chain transformation.

Key Responsibilities

Solution Architecture & Advisory

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.

Design Governance & Delivery Leadership

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.

Business Development & Growth

You will:

• Support pre-sales activities, bids, solution shaping, demonstrations, and client workshops.
• Translate business challenges into compelling Oracle-enabled solution propositions.
• Identify opportunities for account growth, value realisation, and broader transformation initiatives.
• Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with supply chain executives, CIOs, programme sponsors, and transformation leaders.

Capability Development

You will:

• Mentor consultants, architects, and solution leads across the Oracle practice.
• Develop reusable assets, methodologies, and best practices including:

• Reference architectures
• Discovery frameworks
• Capability maturity assessments
• Roadmap templates
• Design decision frameworks

• Contribute to the ongoing growth and market differentiation of Version 1's Oracle SCM capability.
