Job summary

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) seeks a hands-on Materials Supply Chain Management, Principal (IC4) to lead materials planning, manufacturing coordination, and supply execution across OCI’s global data center deployments.

This execution-focused IC4 partners with Contract Manufacturers, Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Deployment teams to ensure material readiness, validate CTB status, and resolve blockers to support deployment priorities.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in materials management, supply chain operations, manufacturing planning, or related functions.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and manufacturing operations.
• Strong background in inventory control, production scheduling, materials planning, and supply chain execution.
• Experience supporting hardware manufacturing, cloud infrastructure, networking, server, or high-tech environments preferred.
• Experience with new product introduction, manufacturing ramp, or execution recovery preferred.

Responsibilities

• Validate material readiness and clean-to-build (CTB) status for planned production.
• Partner with Supply Planning and Demand Planning teams to align material availability with forecasted demand and near-term build requirements.
• Monitor material shortages, late commits, and production constraints at contract manufacturers and drive resolution with the appropriate teams.
• Review manufacturing plans and identify when supply, material, or capacity constraints are putting delivery commitments at risk.
• Support inventory planning and material positioning to maintain supply continuity while minimizing excess and obsolete inventory.
• Ensure timely execution of material flow to support rack and infrastructure delivery requirements.
• Work closely with Contract Manufacturers, ODMs, and suppliers to track material availability, production readiness, and capacity commitments.
• Validate whether manufacturing partners are meeting plan and identify root causes when actual output falls below commitment.
• Escalate material gaps, capacity misses, and execution risks to the broader cross‑functional team for resolution.
• Support weekly, monthly, and quarterly supply and capacity reviews with manufacturing partners.
• Monitor material management practices at manufacturing and warehouse locations to improve control and accountability.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Operations teams to understand production constraints and validate build assumptions.
• Support clean-to-build analysis by confirming whether all required materials, components, and capacities are available for execution.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Product Operations, Commodity Management, and Deployment teams to resolve operational blockers.
• Support new product introduction and ramp activities by ensuring material and production readiness.
• Help improve execution discipline across the supply chain through tighter tracking, follow-up, and issue resolution.
• Identify material shortages, supplier issues, and operational bottlenecks that may impact production or deployment schedules.
• Drive mitigation actions such as alternate sourcing, recovery planning, buffering strategies, or escalation to leadership.
• Track operational metrics related to material availability, supplier performance, inventory health, and manufacturing execution.
• Recommend process improvements that strengthen supply chain visibility, planning accuracy, and execution reliability.
• Serve as a key point of coordination across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and Deployment teams.
• Communicate risks, gaps, and recovery actions clearly to stakeholders and leadership.
• Build strong working relationships across global teams to support rapid problem solving and execution.
• Contribute to broader supply chain scaling efforts as OCI continues to grow.
