Supply-Demand Planner 4

What You’ll Do

• Develop and own supply plans in partnership with Sourcing Management, Demand Management, and suppliers to meet customer and business commitments. 
• Create inventory strategies (targets, buffers, risk mitigation approaches) that balance service levels, cost, and working capital. 
• 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). 
• 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.
