• Evaluate quarterly Oracle Cloud updates and emerging technologies (AI/ML, IoT, predictive analytics) for enterprise applicability.
• Create standardized canonical data models.

Functional & Technical Leadership

• Lead solution design workshops, fit‑gap analysis, process mapping, and scenario development.
• Govern integration architecture using OIC, REST/SOAP APIs, FBDI, ADFDI, and third‑party systems.

Stakeholder & Program Leadership

• Facilitate executive workshops and decision‑making sessions to align technology capabilities with business goals.
• Manage cross‑functional alignment across manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, logistics, finance, and IT.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing and Fulfilment Partners.
