Job Description

Oracle is seeking a Principal-level Supply/Demand Planner to drive end-to-end planning for assigned products, partnering with Sourcing, Demand Management, Finance, and suppliers to build resilient supply plans, optimize inventory strategies, and quickly resolve supply-demand imbalances that impact revenue, customer delivery, and margin.

• Identify and resolve supply-demand gaps (shortages/excess) and lead cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions that protect revenue and margin.
• Assess forward-looking revenue capability and supply risk, providing clear insights and scenarios to senior leadership for decision-making.
• Coordinate supply allocations when required, partnering with internal teams and suppliers to optimize outcomes and ensure fair, transparent execution.
• Present business results and recommendations to stakeholders across Supply Chain, Finance, and business units—translating complex analysis into actionable plans.
• Improve planning processes and systems by contributing to the design, development, and evaluation of new tools, metrics, and operating rhythms.
• Mentor and guide junior planners, providing direction, specialist knowledge, and training; support senior planners and management on ad-hoc initiatives.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships across Oracle lines of business and external suppliers, influencing without authority to drive alignment and results.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong planning and analytical capability, including complex/statistical data analysis, scenario modeling, and structured problem solving.
• Expert-level Excel skills (advanced modeling, pivots, forecasting/scenario analysis).
• Commodity planning experience
• Memory storage
• Electronics commodity planning experience
• Must be able to align across PMs and supply types to align and ensure our contract manufacturers are getting the right signal at the right time.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional partners, lead through ambiguity, and drive outcomes in a dynamic environment.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills (from working teams through executive discussions).
• Continuous improvement mindset—comfortable standardizing processes, defining metrics, and simplifying workflows.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Supply Chain Management, Computer Science, or similar (or equivalent experience).
• 7+ years of experience in Supply/Demand Planning, Sourcing, or broader supply chain leadership (preferably in a related industry).
• Demonstrated experience communicating progress, risks, and recommendations to cross-functional and senior leadership audiences.
• Expert-level Excel skills (advanced modeling, pivots, forecasting/scenario analysis).

Preferred Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in program/project management, product operations, supply chain planning, or related roles.
• Experience supporting large-scale infrastructure or datacenter environments.
