• Collaborate with Oracle consultants and internal IT Business Analysts to configure Oracle Cloud solutions, focusing on manufacturing execution, production scheduling, work order management, and shop floor integration, supporting initial implementation and ongoing process optimization.
• Understand integration points with other operational systems, evaluate impacts on production and manufacturing workflows, and propose solutions to minimize disruptions to manufacturing and work order execution.
• Provide end-user and SME support, including issue resolution, root cause analysis, and coaching, to strengthen local manufacturing capabilities, enforce process discipline, and ensure efficient execution of production work orders.
• Lead site-level operational readiness and training, ensuring manufacturing teams understand standardized procedures, system usage, work order processes, and process compliance.
• Track and report on manufacturing adoption, operational performance, work order execution metrics, and process compliance, driving continuous improvement and enhancing production efficiency across multiple sites.

· Serve as a liaison between corporate operations, site teams, and technical support, ensuring process alignment, system adoption, and operational excellence across the enterprise.
