• Design hand‑over packs to delivery PODs that meet Definition of Ready and design‑gate criteria
• Contribution to the Base Template roadmap and cloud release readiness, including impact of Oracle quarterly updates
• Design reviews, quality gates and root‑cause input on design and data defects; coaching of POD engineers

Requirements

• Have a broad business skill set including stakeholder management with senior business and IT leaders, problem‑solving, and resilience

• Have experience building and growing the right‑skilled team: one team across PODs, vendors and locations

• Location: France (preferred, Paris)
• Deep knowledge and hands‑on experience with Oracle SIOCS (and its SIM heritage): configuration, workflows, APIs, and how SIOCS and Xstore share stock and transactions
• Experience working with Oracle Retail Cloud architecture, integration patterns and update management; inventory concepts, shrinkage and cycle counting
• 15+ years in retail technology and 7+ years designing Oracle Retail inventory solutions incl. SIOCS or SIM (Senior Principal: 18+ years, several global rollouts as lead architect)
• Have previously led multi‑country store systems rollout covering POS and store inventory together
• Strong luxury, fashion or premium retail background: high‑value, low‑volume and serialised stock, boutique‑to‑boutique fulfilment
• Experience with Oracle product teams on SRs and escalations, and across multiple vendors; Oracle Retail certification is a plus
