Sr. Staff Solutions Architect – Supply Chain (R6251)

Shield AI is seeking a senior Solutions Architect – Supply Chain to serve as the functional and technical authority for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP across Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay, with strong working depth in Supply Chain Planning. This role owns the design, configuration, and continuous improvement of Oracle Fusion Order Management, Procurement, Inventory, and Supply Chain Planning capabilities, ensuring the two core commercial flows — selling and buying — operate as a single, well-architected system.

This is a hands-on, business-facing role. The Solutions Architect is expected to be the trusted advisor and go-to resource for business stakeholders on any process change involving Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, or Supply Chain Planning — translating business need into a scalable, well-architected solution, and then configuring and implementing that solution directly for medium-complexity projects. For large, complex initiatives, this person leads solution design and partners with Shield AI’s implementation partner to deliver, while remaining the accountable architect and voice of the business throughout.

Beyond core ERP, this role holds ownership of adjacent enterprise systems and solutions for example, Salesforce as it relates to order and quote-to-cash touchpoints, and maintains a close working relationship with Solutions Architect for Manufacturing for supplier quality and shared planning data — ensuring Procure-to-Pay and supplier performance issues are resolved jointly with Manufacturing’s QMS and MES ownership. Partnership with finance Solutions Architect to ensure end-to-end integration with Finance/Accounting.

• 12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise ERP systems, with significant depth in Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay functions.

• Hands-on experience configuring Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP (Order Management and Procurement pillars); comfortable working directly in the application, not solely at a requirements level.

• Experience across multiple full-lifecycle ERP implementations (Oracle Fusion required; prior experience with Oracle EBS, SAP, or other major ERP platforms is a plus).

• Working knowledge of Supply Chain Planning and MRP concepts and how they interact with Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay.

• Demonstrated experience acting as a functional/solution architect — able to design solutions independently, not just execute configuration tasks handed down by others.

• Experience partnering with or managing systems integrators/implementation partners on complex delivery efforts.

• Strong business partnering and stakeholder management skills; comfortable being the primary escalation point for Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay process questions.

• Working understanding of integration concepts and experience partnering on ERP-to-CRM/third-party system integrations (e.g., Salesforce, EDI, banking).

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience producing functional design documents, process documentation, and executive-level updates

• Prior consulting background (Big 4, Oracle partner, or boutique Oracle Fusion implementation firm) strongly preferred.

• Direct experience owning or integrating Salesforce order/quote processes with Oracle Fusion Order Management.

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated/complex manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) or similar middleware/integration platforms, and EDI/supplier network standards.

• Oracle Fusion certifications in Order Management, Procurement, or Supply Chain Planning.

• Experience operating in environments with export control, ITAR/CUI, or other regulated data-handling requirements.

Shield AI is investing in Agentic AI to accelerate and automate Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay operations. This role is expected to actively identify, design, and help implement AI-driven automation across these processes — not simply consume AI tools built by others.

• Identify high-value candidates for Agentic AI automation within Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay — e.g., order exception handling, quote-to-order matching, requisition/PO follow-up, supplier response triage, and demand/supply reconciliation.

• Design and configure AI agent workflows using Oracle’s embedded AI/ML and agentic capabilities (e.g., Oracle Fusion AI agents, OCI Generative AI, Redwood/AI-driven planning recommendations) as they become available across Fusion SCM.

• Partner with IT/data teams to define prompts, guardrails, data inputs, and approval/exception paths for AI agents acting on order and procurement transactions, ensuring appropriate human-in-the-loop controls.

• Evaluate and pilot third-party or custom Agentic AI tools (e.g., for demand sensing, supplier risk monitoring, order-to-cash automation, or inventory optimization) and assess fit against the target architecture.

• Use AI-assisted tools for day-to-day solution work — requirements analysis, test script generation, configuration documentation, and data mapping — to increase delivery speed and quality.

• Bring or build fluency in prompt engineering and AI workflow design; prior hands-on experience with generative AI or agentic AI platforms (Oracle AI Agent Studio, OCI Generative AI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, UiPath/Automation Anywhere agentic features, or similar) is a strong plus.

• Champion responsible AI adoption — data quality, auditability, and change management — when introducing agentic workflows into regulated, ITAR/CUI-sensitive environments.
