Contract

24-month contract

Mobilisation

September 2026

Purpose of the Role

Ensure end-to-end functional and technical coherence of the Oracle Cloud ERP solution, protect Group-template integrity and coordinate the technical operation of the Design Authority, with cross-module oversight of Finance, SCM, PPM, residual CX, integration (OIC), data, security and reporting. The role supports the progressive transfer of design authority in-house, mentors internal leads and coordinates SIT on a transitional basis until the internal SIT Lead takes over.

Key Responsibilities

Target architecture and Global Design

define and maintain the target functional, integration, data and security architecture; review the implementation partner's Global Design deliverables; keep cross-module coherence; favour Oracle standard capabilities over customisation.

Design Authority and template integrity

prepare technical evidence for decisions, maintain architecture principles, patterns and the Design Decision / Deviation registers; require formal assessment of country or entity deviations; escalate material risks.

Cross-workstream coordination

align Finance, SCM, PPM, residual CX, integration, data migration, testing, reporting and security; ensure consistency between process design, configuration, interfaces, data and controls; resolve cross-module issues.

Partner technical assurance

review implementation-partner deliverables, assess architecture impacts of changes and defects, and provide an independent internal opinion at quality gates and readiness reviews.

Integration, data and security

govern OIC patterns, error handling and interface ownership; align data structures, migration strategy and reporting dependencies; coordinate roles, access and segregation of duties with Group IT and GRC; assess performance, resilience, auditability and operability.

Testing, cutover and knowledge transfer

coordinate the transitional SIT strategy and non-regression approach; support root-cause analysis, cutover and go/no-go decisions; mentor internal leads through supervised design reviews and reusable architecture standards.

Candidate Profile

Bachelor's or Master's degree (Computer Science, IS or Engineering); 8+ years of ERP solution architecture with strong Oracle Fusion Cloud exposure, multi-module and complex integration experience in multi-country, supplier-led programmes.

Oracle Fusion architecture, Functional Setup Manager, security, reporting and data-model concepts; cross-module Finance / SCM / PPM knowledge with residual CX dependencies.

Oracle Integration Cloud, APIs, file-based integration, integration patterns and monitoring; design-authority operation, template-deviation management, data migration, SIT, cutover and operational readiness.

Systems thinker with strong technical judgement and constructive challenge; clear communicator, disciplined documenter and coach, effective across cultures and time zones; English fluent, working French a strong advantage.

Certifications (mandatory)

at least one active Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Certified Implementation Professional credential in a programme-relevant domain (Financials, SCM or Project Management).

Strongly preferred

a second Fusion module certification (cross-domain breadth); OCI Architect Professional and an OIC credential where PaaS is in scope; TOGAF an additional advantage. Credentials must be active at appointment and will be verified.

Success Indicators

Integrity and maintainability of the Group ERP template; quality and timeliness of Design Authority decisions; material design issues caught before build or production; cross-module coherence; successful SIT handover to the internal SIT Lead; internal leads ready to design independently; usable architecture standards and reduced dependency on external consulting.
