Oracle Application Manager

Job Description

Oracle Applications Manager (Oracle Fusion)

\n

Location: Fairfield, OH (onsite 3 days/week required)

\n

Type: Contract-to-hire preferred, open to contractor initially 6 – 12 months

\n

\n

Overview

\n

This is less of a traditional manager role and more of a hands-on Oracle Fusion expert who can become the go-to resource for the business. The biggest need is strong Oracle Fusion knowledge and the ability to troubleshoot issues, support users, drive adoption, and help stabilize the environment post-implementation.

\n

\n

Current Environment

\n

\n
• Oracle Fusion went live at 3 sites (out of 20 planned) in Fall 2025.
\n
• Organization is currently in a stabilization and user adoption phase.
\n
• Significant need for end-user support, training, and issue resolution.
\n
• Working with an offshore MSP that currently provides support.
\n
• One Oracle Analyst currently on the team.
\n
• Approximately 300 Oracle Fusion users across Finance, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing.
\n

\n

\n

Key Gap

\n

\n
• Deep Oracle Fusion expertise, ideally someone who has supported a post go-live environment.
\n
• Needs to understand root-cause analysis and solve issues internally rather than simply routing tickets to the MSP.
\n
• Looking for a technical Oracle resource, not a people manager.
\n
• Must be comfortable owning support, troubleshooting, user training, and vendor coordination.
\n

\n

\n

What They're Looking For

\n

\n
• 7+ years Oracle ERP experience with at least 3+ years of Oracle Fusion Cloud.
\n
• Strong functional knowledge, ideally in Oracle Financials (GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Cash Management).
\n
• Understanding of Supply Chain and Manufacturing integrations.
\n
• Experience managing MSPs or support vendors.
\n
• Experience with:
\n
• Incident management
\n
• Change control
\n
• Quarterly Oracle updates
\n
• Security roles and user access
\n
• User training and adoption
\n

\n

\n

Culture / Personality Fit

\n

\n
• Standex is not highly structured or process-heavy.
\n
• Employees wear multiple hats and work independently.
\n
• Someone from a large enterprise environment who expects significant support structure may struggle.
\n
• Needs to be proactive, self-sufficient, and comfortable operating with ambiguity.
\n
• Strong communication skills are critical as they will work directly with end users and business stakeholders daily.
\n

\n

\n

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Serve as the primary Oracle Fusion contact for end users.
\n
• Support users through issues, training, and process questions.
\n
• Manage and hold the offshore MSP accountable.
\n
• Help transition support knowledge from the MSP to internal resources.
\n
• Drive user adoption and reduction of workarounds/spreadsheets.
\n
• Perform root-cause analysis and coordinate fixes.
\n
• Partner with business users across Finance, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing.
\n
• Help shape the Oracle roadmap as additional sites are brought online.
