YOU MUST BE SC CLEARED OR ELIGIBLE FOR CTC CLEARANCE. TO BE ELIGIBLE YOU MUST HAVE LIVED IN THE UK FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.

This is your opportunity to move beyond solution delivery and become a trusted advisor to some of the UK's most ambitious organisations.

As a Principal Oracle SCM Solution Architect, you will help senior business and technology leaders solve complex supply chain challenges, define enterprise-wide Oracle Cloud strategies, and make critical transformation decisions that deliver measurable business value.

Working across large-scale Oracle Cloud programmes, you'll combine deep supply chain expertise, strategic consulting capability, and architectural leadership to guide organisations through some of their most important transformation initiatives.

You’ll join one of the market's leading Oracle practices, where your influence will extend beyond client engagements to shape our Oracle SCM capability, mentor future leaders, and contribute to the continued growth of the practice.

We're looking for an experienced Oracle Supply Chain architect who can operate confidently at executive level and translate complex business challenges into practical Oracle-enabled solutions.

• Define strategic Oracle Cloud roadmaps and target-state architectures.
• Lead enterprise-wide solution design and transformation discussions.
• Navigate ambiguity and provide clarity in complex environments.
• Guide programmes through critical architectural and business decisions.
• Balance business priorities, regulatory requirements, delivery realities, and technology innovation.

You’ll become a trusted partner to CIOs, Supply Chain Directors, Transformation Leaders, and Programme Sponsors, helping organisations maximise the value of their Oracle investments.

• Lead Oracle SCM solution architecture across transformation, optimisation, and cloud adoption programmes.
• Advise clients on operating models, supply chain processes, and Oracle Cloud strategy.
• Facilitate executive workshops, discovery sessions, design authorities, and roadmap planning activities.
• Develop high-quality architecture artefacts, including:
  • Solution options and recommendations
  • Transformation roadmaps
  • Target operating model inputs
  • Business capability assessments
  • Cross‑functional impact analyses
• Shape end-to-end Oracle solutions spanning Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, Planning, Product Management, Data, Reporting, and Integration.

• Provide architectural leadership throughout the programme lifecycle.
• Assess design decisions, risks, dependencies, and implementation impacts across multiple work streams.
• Support governance forums, steering committees, and executive stakeholder reviews.
• Help resolve complex process, integration, data, and solution challenges while maintaining architectural integrity.
