Owns end-to-end architecture and design authority for a multi-country Oracle Cloud ERP transformation. Maintains functional, integration, data, security, reporting, and cross-module coherence across Finance, SCM, PPM, and CX. Governs Oracle Integration Cloud patterns, data migration, security controls, partner deliverables, design deviations, testing, cutover, and operational readiness. Coordinates transitional SIT activities, supports quality gates and go/no-go decisions, and mentors internal leads to enable in-house design authority.
End-to-end design authority and guardian of Oracle Cloud ERP solution coherence
Entity: Oracle ERP Centre of Excellence
Programme: Oracle Cloud ERP transformation — multi-entity, multi-country rollout
Reporting line: Programme Director
Primary scope: Functional, integration, data and security architecture
Contract: 24-month contract
Mobilisation: September 2026
Purpose of the Role
Ensure end-to-end functional and technical coherence of the Oracle Cloud ERP solution, protect Group-template integrity and coordinate the technical operation of the Design Authority, with cross-module oversight of Finance, SCM, PPM, residual CX, integration (OIC), data, security and reporting. The role supports the progressive transfer of design authority in-house, mentors internal leads and coordinates SIT on a transitional basis until the internal SIT Lead takes over.
Key Responsibilities
- Target architecture and Global Design: define and maintain the target functional, integration, data and security architecture; review the implementation partner's Global Design deliverables; keep cross-module coherence; favour Oracle standard capabilities over customisation.
- Design Authority and template integrity: prepare technical evidence for decisions, maintain architecture principles, patterns and the Design Decision / Deviation registers; require formal assessment of country or entity deviations; escalate material risks.
- Cross-workstream coordination: align Finance, SCM, PPM, residual CX, integration, data migration, testing, reporting and security; ensure consistency between process design, configuration, interfaces, data and controls; resolve cross-module issues.
- Partner technical assurance: review implementation-partner deliverables, assess architecture impacts of changes and defects, and provide an independent internal opinion at quality gates and readiness reviews.
- Integration, data and security: govern OIC patterns, error handling and interface ownership; align data structures, migration strategy and reporting dependencies; coordinate roles, access and segregation of duties with Group IT and GRC; assess performance, resilience, auditability and operability.
- Testing, cutover and knowledge transfer: coordinate the transitional SIT strategy and non-regression approach; support root-cause analysis, cutover and go/no-go decisions; mentor internal leads through supervised design reviews and reusable architecture standards.
Candidate Profile
- Bachelor's or Master's degree (Computer Science, IS or Engineering); 8+ years of ERP solution architecture with strong Oracle Fusion Cloud exposure, multi-module and complex integration experience in multi-country, supplier-led programmes.
- Oracle Fusion architecture, Functional Setup Manager, security, reporting and data-model concepts; cross-module Finance / SCM / PPM knowledge with residual CX dependencies.
- Oracle Integration Cloud, APIs, file-based integration, integration patterns and monitoring; design-authority operation, template-deviation management, data migration, SIT, cutover and operational readiness.
- Systems thinker with strong technical judgement and constructive challenge; clear communicator, disciplined documenter and coach, effective across cultures and time zones; English fluent, working French a strong advantage.
- Certifications (mandatory): at least one active Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Certified Implementation Professional credential in a programme-relevant domain (Financials, SCM or Project Management).
- Strongly preferred: a second Fusion module certification (cross-domain breadth); OCI Architect Professional and an OIC credential where PaaS is in scope; TOGAF an additional advantage. Credentials must be active at appointment and will be verified.
Success Indicators
Integrity and maintainability of the Group ERP template; quality and timeliness of Design Authority decisions; material design issues caught before build or production; cross-module coherence; successful SIT handover to the internal SIT Lead; internal leads ready to design independently; usable architecture standards and reduced dependency on external consulting.
