About The Position

OCI is hiring a strategic, execution-focused Supply Chain Planner to establish and operate the end-to-end planning cadence for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This IC4 role turns customer deployment signals into executable plans for Oracle-provided components, customer-integrated racks, deployment readiness, and service inventory while maintaining clear visibility of risks, dependencies, and decisions across the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) ecosystem.

Requirements

Leading contributor individually and as a team member, providing direction and mentoring to others.
Sought out as an expert within the team and organization.

Nice To Haves

6-10+ years of experience in supply chain planning, materials planning, manufacturing coordination, or a related hardware supply chain role.
Experience planning complex, high-tech, cloud infrastructure, server, rack, or network hardware supply chains, including external manufacturing partners.
Demonstrated ability to balance demand, supply, capacity, lead time, inventory, and deployment priorities in a fast-moving environment.
Experience with product transitions, clean-to-build analysis, supply recovery, service-spares planning, or RMA and reverse-logistics interfaces.
Strong working knowledge of enterprise planning systems; Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning, Demand Management, Supply Planning, or comparable tools preferred.
Advanced Excel and reporting skills, with the judgment to make data-based recommendations clear to senior leaders and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Integrated supply plan: Own the planning model that connects customer rack forecasts, Oracle-provided component requirements, manufacturing and logistics commitments, data-center deployment priorities, and service readiness.
Demand translation and supply feasibility: Convert customer rack-level forecasts into time-phased demand for Oracle-provided assemblies and components, including BOM usage, lead-time offsets, allocation logic, and inventory positioning. Load and manage independent demand in Fusion Demand Management and Supply Planning.
Planning cadence and execution control: Establish a regular operating rhythm with Demand Planning, Materials Program Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Execution, Commodity, Logistics, and customer or integrator counterparts. Reconcile plan versus actual, assess clean-to-build readiness, and drive recovery actions.
Customer-integrator readiness: Validate that customer-provided racks are aligned to Oracle deployment requirements: approved configuration and test data, TDMS data availability, advance shipment notification timing, required identifiers, and in-country delivery milestones.
Oracle-provided component fulfillment: Plan and monitor the supply, drop-ship execution, and delivery status of Oracle-provided components to the customer-designated integrator. Identify gaps in supplier commit, capacity, material availability, or order timing before they affect deployment.
Visibility and controls: Define practical planning requirements for tracking non-Oracle-owned racks and service components through receipt, deployment, repair, and return flows, including part- and serial-number traceability, chain of custody, dummy SO/PO milestones, inventory reporting, and exception handling.
Service inventory and transitions: Partner on FRU and seedstock planning, including customer min/max assumptions, early-deployment surge coverage, actual failure-rate feedback, replenishment triggers, product changes, and end-of-life or disposition readiness.
Decision support: Deliver concise, executive-ready views of supply health, deployment coverage, constraints, decisions, owners, and mitigation progress. Escalate with a clear recommendation and quantified tradeoffs.
