Senior Purchasing Lead, Oracle Cloud Procurement

Procure-to-pay breaks at the handoffs. A requisition clears approval, the purchase order issues, the receipt posts, and the invoice still fails match because the setup upstream and the setup downstream were designed in different weeks by different people.

You will own the Oracle Cloud Procurement workstream on large ERP/SCM implementations and support engagements, from Blueprint through go-live and hypercare. Procurement connects to Payables, Inventory, Projects, Subledger Accounting, and the General Ledger, so you will work directly with the Finance and Supply Chain leads to make sure commitments, receipts, and accruals land where the client's accounting expects them. You will also lead the Procurement analysts on the team and serve as the client's first call on anything purchasing.
