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.

What You'll Do

• Lead requirements and design workshops for the Procurement workstream with purchasing, Payables, and department requesters, and drive fit/gap decisions to documented, signed-off designs.
• Configure Oracle Cloud Procurement hands-on: Self Service Procurement, Purchasing, Supplier Model, Supplier Qualification, Sourcing, Procurement Contracts, and Supplier Portal, along with catalog strategy (local catalogs, punchout, and smart forms).
• Design the procurement organization model: procurement business functions, requisitioning and sold-to business units, bill-to locations, service provider relationships, document styles, and supplier site assignments.
• Design requisition, purchase order, and agreement approval routing in BPM approval management, built to the client's delegation of authority and tested against real approver hierarchies.
• Own the cross-workstream integration points: Payables two-, three-, and four-way match and tolerances, Inventory receiving, receipt accounting and accrual rules in Subledger Accounting, Projects costing for project-driven purchase orders, and budgetary control and encumbrance accounting where the client requires it.
• Define supplier and open-transaction conversion requirements (suppliers, sites, contacts, agreements, and open purchase orders) using FBDI; validate each mock cycle and reconcile open commitments to the source system.
• Author and maintain functional design documents (FDDs), configuration workbooks, and process flows to SC&H documentation standards.
• Build test scenarios and lead SIT and UAT cycles for the workstream, including defect triage and retest management.
• Deliver train-the-trainer sessions for buyers, requesters, and approvers; support end-user training materials and job aids.
• Support cutover, hypercare, and production support through the first month-end close, including receipt accrual reconciliation between Purchasing, Payables, and the General Ledger.
• Direct and mentor Procurement analysts, and review their deliverables before they reach the client.
• Contribute procurement scope, estimates, and orals to SC&H proposals and statements of work.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of Oracle procurement functional experience (Oracle Cloud or E-Business Suite), with at least 3 full-lifecycle Oracle Cloud (Fusion) Procurement implementations and at least one as workstream lead.
• Hands-on configuration expertise across Self Service Procurement and Purchasing, and at least one of Supplier Qualification, Sourcing, or Procurement Contracts.
• Strong command of procure-to-pay design: requisition-to-PO flow, blanket and contract agreements, approval hierarchies, receipt and match options, and receipt accrual accounting.
• Working knowledge of Procurement touchpoints with Payables, Inventory, Subledger Accounting, and General Ledger, including how purchasing transactions create accounting and where accruals reconcile.
• Experience writing high-quality functional documentation (FDDs, test scripts, configuration workbooks) and facilitating workshops with purchasing and finance leadership.
• Experience leading SIT/UAT test cycles with structured defect management.
• Experience directing consultants or analysts and holding their work to a review standard.
• Bachelor's degree in business, supply chain, accounting, information systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Nice to Have

• Oracle Cloud Procurement certification.
• Public sector procurement experience for state, local, and education clients: encumbrance accounting, competitive bid and RFP rules, and vendor registration.
• Experience with Supplier Portal, supplier onboarding, and punchout or cXML integrations to external marketplaces and supplier networks.
• Familiarity with OTBI procurement subject areas and FDI/FAW procurement reporting.
• Consulting experience with direct client-facing delivery responsibility, including support for pursuits and orals.
