Role purpose

Lead the Oracle side of the program (Fusion Cloud or E-Business Suite) to translate business needs into a practical solution across Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Supplier/Vendor Management, ensuring VRM/LC requirements are met and enabling high-quality vendor data and workflows.

Key responsibilities

Requirements & design

• Conduct workshops with leaders, partners, and SMEs; capture pain points and constraints.
• Produce the Business Requirements Document (BRD) and Fit-Gap for Oracle vs. needs; keep an issue log for IT developments.
• Write INVEST-grade user stories (4-12) for priority cases including:
• PR validation rules and approval routing (normal/expedited), emergency routing, and COI stops.
• Overdue/open PR management and escalations.
• Vendor blacklisting/holds and obligation tracking with inputs to a performance dashboard.

Oracle configuration & solutioning

• Configure/advise on Supplier Management / Supplier Qualification, Purchasing/iProcurement, Sourcing, Approvals/BPM/AMX, and OTBI/BI Publisher reporting.
• Define the target picture: configure vs. extend vs. integrate (e.g., with a dedicated VRM tool) and document integration needs (OIC/APIs).

Data management & quality

• Define the critical vendor master data fields (e.g., supplier name, tax number, payment terms, blacklist flags) and a data catalog (definitions/formats).
• Assess current data quality using exported datasets; identify duplicates and gaps and design the future maintenance procedure (roles, controls, cadence). (No in-system cleansing or mass updates in scope.)
• Governance, testing support & enablement
• Align approval matrices/DoA with Oracle workflow design.
• Prepare UAT scenarios from user stories and support UAT sign-off.
• Provide knowledge transfer and light SOPs for PR/PO/vendor processes and data stewardship.

Reporting & performance

• Specify inputs for the VRM/LC performance dashboard (cycle times, overdue PRs, blacklist usage, supplier performance KPIs).
• Expected deliverables
• BRD (incl. prioritized requirement list for VRM tool/Oracle) and Fit-Gap with remediation plan.
• Issue log linked to IT developments.
• 412 user stories with acceptance criteria and end-to-end flows.
• List of 20 critical vendor master fields with definitions & metadata.
• Future data maintenance procedure (roles, RACI, controls, cadence).
