Job Description

Principal SCM Solution Architect

Shape the Future of Supply Chain & Manufacturing Transformation with Version 1

If you’re an Oracle SCM Cloud leader with deep manufacturing expertise and a passion for transforming complex supply chains, this is your opportunity to operate at true strategic influence.

At Version 1, we don’t just implement technology—we redesign how organisations plan, produce, and deliver at scale.

With over 28 years of success and strategic partnerships with Oracle Corporation, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Red Hat and Snowflake, we provide the platform for architects to lead enterprise-wide transformation across global supply chains.

The Role: Lead End-to-End Supply Chain Transformation

As a Principal SCM Solution Architect , you will be the strategic authority for designing and delivering Oracle SCM Cloud solutions across large-scale, multi-country transformation programmes- particularly within manufacturing-led organisations.

This is a role for a T-shaped leader with deep expertise across core SCM and Manufacturing modules, combined with the ability to architect across Finance, PPM, Procurement, Logistics, and Analytics.

What You’ll Be Trusted To Do

• Lead solution architecture for complex SCM and Manufacturing transformations
• Design end-to-end processes across Plan-to-Produce, Procure-to-Pay, and Order-to-Cash
• Engage C-suite stakeholders to define supply chain strategy and roadmaps
• Define target operating models for manufacturing and supply chain functions
• Lead integration, data, and reporting strategies across the enterprise landscape
• Guide multi-disciplinary teams across functional and technical delivery
• Drive operational efficiency, resilience, and innovation across supply chains
• Mentor and develop the next generation of Oracle SCM consultants

Why This Role Stands Out

• End-to-end ownership of complex supply chain and manufacturing transformations
• High-impact programmes across global, asset-intensive industries
• Strategic influence with senior client stakeholders
• People-first culture with a long-standing Great Place to Work recognition
• Opportunity to shape modern manufacturing through digital transformation

Qualifications

About You - Expertise & Experience

You’ll bring deep domain credibility across Oracle SCM and Manufacturing:

• Extensive experience delivering Oracle SCM tools, including areas such as:
  • Manufacturing (Discrete / Process)
  • Oracle Fusion, E-Business Suite (EBS), and JD Edwards (JDE)
  • Supply Planning & Demand Management
  • Inventory & Warehouse Management
  • Procurement & Sourcing
  • Order Management & Logistics
• Proven track record leading large-scale, multi-country transformation programmes
• Strong understanding of integrated ERP landscapes, including Finance and Projects
• Strong capability in business process design and operational transformation
• Ability to influence and engage at C-suite level
• Strong commercial awareness and experience shaping business cases and value realisation

Desirable:

• Experience in manufacturing industries (e.g. Pharma, industrial, automotive, life sciences, FMCG)
• TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture certification
• Broader ERP exposure (e.g. SAP, legacy manufacturing systems)

The Bottom Line

This is a strategic leadership role for someone who wants to:

• Redefine how global organisations run their supply chains and manufacturing operations
• Lead enterprise-wide transformation, not just system implementation
• Operate as a trusted advisor at the intersection of operations, technology, and strategy
