About The Position

OCI Supplier Management Services provides co-location supplier program management and post-execution contract administration across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s global data center footprint. The team supports a large, complex portfolio of supplier and landlord agreements and partners across the business to keep obligations, risks, and decisions visible and actionable. SMS serves as a primary point of contact between suppliers and Oracle after agreement execution. The team helps protect Oracle’s interests, maximize Oracle’s operational performance, reduce Oracle’s risk, and prevent misunderstandings, breaches, and litigation through disciplined monitoring, risk management, dispute resolution, supplier governance, and contract administration. In this role, you will lead teams responsible for supplier lifecycle management, contract administration, compliance, risk management, dispute resolution, renewal strategy, decision support, lease portfolio execution, and cross-functional operating cadence. Your teams will ensure key supplier, landlord, lease, co-location, and energy agreement obligations are understood, tracked, acted upon, and escalated appropriately. The Renewals Program is focused on the OCI data center lease portfolio and manages the program of driving decisions and execution in a strategic and timely way to minimize risk to the portfolio and allow OCI to optimize costs. The team partners closely with Capacity Planning, Data Center Operations, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Site Acquisition, Energy, and senior leadership to evaluate renewal options, support business cases, coordinate approvals, enable negotiations, and move decisions through execution. You are the operational leader here. You will help define and scale the operating model for supplier management, contract administration, and renewals execution by creating clear ownership, reliable controls, repeatable processes, strong documentation, actionable reporting, and disciplined cross-functional coordination. This role requires strategic vision and tactical execution: identifying gaps, communicating ideas, solutions, concerns, and mitigation plans, using data to support recommendations, and keeping calm while removing blockers in a fast-paced environment.
