Oracle•Santa Clara, CA

24d•$102,300 - $209,500

About The Position

This role partners with the VP of Materials Execution & Supply Planning and their leadership team to coordinate priority initiatives, operating rhythms, and business reviews. The Program Manager will drive program plans for cross-functional initiatives supporting materials readiness, supply planning, supplier execution, order fulfillment, inventory health, and NPI readiness. They will translate leadership direction into actionable workplans with defined milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, and success measures. The role involves coordinating daily, weekly, and monthly execution cadences, including shortage reviews, supplier commit reviews, clean-to-build readiness, backlog recovery, and supply-risk escalation forums. The Program Manager will gather, synthesize, and communicate program status, supply risks, decisions needed, and mitigation progress for leadership audiences. They will develop executive-ready presentations, dashboards, scorecards, and meeting materials to provide clear visibility into supply availability, fulfillment performance, inventory exposure, and program health. Key operational metrics will be tracked, including supplier commit attainment, clean-to-build rate, schedule adherence, on-time delivery, backlog aging, inventory turns, E&O exposure, expedite cost, and NPI readiness. The role requires partnering with functional leads to identify risks and dependencies early, coordinate mitigation actions, and escalate issues requiring leadership decisions. Support for constrained-supply and allocation decision processes will involve organizing scenario inputs, documenting tradeoffs, tracking decisions, and following through on committed actions. Facilitation of cross-functional alignment among external manufacturing partners, suppliers, sourcing, planning, logistics, warehouse operations, finance, and product teams is essential. Maintaining clear action logs, decision records, risk registers, and follow-up mechanisms to improve accountability and execution consistency is also a key responsibility. Finally, the role will identify opportunities to simplify reporting, reduce manual work, and improve operating efficiency through process standardization, automation, AI-enabled tools, and improved data visibility, while supporting continuous-improvement efforts that strengthen planning accuracy, exception management, escalation paths, and end-to-end execution discipline.
