Shield AI is taking on the challenge to transform our supply chain operations through adoption of Oracle. With this transition, we aim to empower our teams with real-time insights, streamlined workflows, and the agility to meet the aggressive needs of the business. We value curiosity, ownership, and collaboration—because the best solutions come from people who care deeply about the work they do and the people they do it with. **The Impact You'll Make** In this role, you’ll be the bridge between our current operations and our future state. You’ll lead the Oracle Supply Chain implementation from the front—partnering with consultants, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure the system is configured for real-world success. Once the system is live, you’ll transition into a long-term role as a part of our Oracle System Administrator team and Material Planner within the Supply chain, ensuring the platform runs smoothly, data stays clean, and our supply chain operates at peak efficiency. ### What You'll Do Implementation Phase (First 6–12 Months) - Lead the Oracle Cloud Supply Chain implementation workstreams, focusing on modules such as Inventory, Procurement, Order Management, and Planning. - Collaborate with Oracle consultants to translate business requirements into system configurations. - Develop and execute testing plans, including UAT, to ensure system readiness. - Train end-users and create clear, accessible documentation for ongoing reference. - Identify process improvements and ensure they are embedded into the new system design. Post-Go-Live Phase (Ongoing) - Serve as a Oracle System Administrator—managing user access, configurations, and troubleshooting. - Maintain data integrity and ensure accurate material planning inputs. - Act as the go-to resource for supply chain reporting, dashboards, and analytics. - Manage material planning activities, including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and supplier coordination. - Continuously improve system usage and supply chain processes based on performance metrics and user feedback. ### What You'll Bring - Proven experience in supply chain operations, ideally with exposure to ERP systems (Oracle Cloud experience strongly preferred). - Hands-on involvement in at least one ERP implementation, with a focus on supply chain modules. - Strong understanding of material planning, inventory management, and procurement processes. - Ability to translate operational needs into system configurations and workflows. - Excellent communication skills—able to work with technical teams, executives, and frontline users alike. - Analytical mindset with a knack for solving complex problems and improving processes.
