Manager, IT ERP - Oracle Manufacturing

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary functional authority for Oracle EBS Manufacturing, including Bill of Materials, Engineering, Work in Process, Flow Manufacturing, MES for Discrete, Cost Management, and Quality.
• Lead solution design, configuration, testing, and rollout for enhancements, integrations, and upgrades.
• Own the manufacturing setup across operating units, inventory organizations, and plants, spanning multiple legal entities and regions.
• Clear stuck jobs, failed transactions, and interface errors, tracing problems across BOM, routings, WIP, costing, quality, and links to inventory and sub-ledgers.
• Own the Bill of Materials structure end-to-end: manufacturing and engineering BOMs, phantom and common BOMs, alternates, effectivity dates, and mass changes.
• Own Oracle Engineering and the engineering change process: engineering items, ECOs, revision control, and controlled handoff from engineering to manufacturing.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by bringing new and revised products, structures, and routings into production.
• Manage routings, operations, departments, resources, and work centers, and the standards that drive scheduling, costing, and capacity.
• Manage Work in Process: discrete job creation and scheduling, material issue and backflush, resource and overhead charging, move and completion transactions, scrap, and job close.
• Manage the MES for Discrete shop-floor experience: operator workbench, dispatch lists, move and completion flows, and electronic shop-floor records.
• Manage Flow Manufacturing where used: line design and balancing, flow schedules, kanban replenishment, and mixed-model production.
• Support outside processing (subcontract operations), including purchasing and receiving handoffs for OSP steps.
• Manage mobile manufacturing and mobile quality applications used on the shop floor for barcoded WIP moves, completions, material transactions, and quality data collection.
• Manage Cost Management for manufacturing: item costs, cost types, standard cost rollups and updates, resource and overhead rates, and WIP valuation.
• Manage manufacturing variance analysis — material usage, resource, and overhead variances — and accounting flows from WIP and inventory into sub-ledgers and GL.
• Manage Oracle Quality: collection plans, specifications, data collection at receiving, in-process, and completion, nonconformance capture, and integration of quality into WIP and MES.
• Manage lot and serial genealogy and full forward-and-backward traceability across production, supporting Device History Record (DHR) and recall-readiness requirements.
• Support Unique Device Identification (UDI) and product labeling requirements.
• Manage integration with MasterControl for controlled documents, change control, CAPA, training, and electronic signatures.
• Ensure the platform meets FDA, GxP, and international quality-system requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11 and computer system validation (IQ/OQ/PQ).
• Maintain a current map of every integration in the manufacturing flow.
• Manage or share manufacturing item, BOM, and routing master data with a data-governance function.
• Provide operational reporting, shop-floor documents, and manufacturing dashboards.
• Keep non-production environments isolated from production.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of internal Oracle Manufacturing professionals.
• Directly manage the managed-service partner (MSP) resources supporting the Manufacturing stream.
• Define and maintain a Manufacturing IT roadmap that aligns with business objectives.
• Lead Manufacturing workstreams through the full software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Lead the manufacturing side of acquisition integrations.
• Drive process automation, less scrap and rework, fewer stuck jobs, faster and more reliable production.
• Ensure manufacturing processes, setups, and changes meet SOX, IT general control (ITGC), and audit requirements.
• Partner with Internal Audit, the SOX program, and Security on walkthroughs, testing, risk assessments, and remediation.
• Maintain disciplined change management, including change freezes around close and audit periods.
• Build strong working relationships with plant operations, manufacturing engineering, quality and regulatory, supply chain, procurement, and finance teams.
• Translate manufacturing and quality needs into sound Oracle solutions.
• Influence priorities and lead change-management activities across teams.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, Supply Chain, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 10+ years of hands-on Oracle EBS Manufacturing functional experience, with deep, current configuration expertise across Bill of Materials, Engineering, Work in Process, Cost Management, and Quality.
• Hands-on experience with both discrete manufacturing (WIP and MES for Discrete) and Flow Manufacturing, including line design, kanban, and mixed-model production.
• Demonstrated depth in manufacturing Cost Management: standard cost rollups and updates, resource and overhead rates, WIP valuation, and variance analysis.
• Hands-on experience with BOM and Engineering change control, including ECOs, revision control, effectivity, and the engineering-to-manufacturing handoff.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle Quality — collection plans, specifications, data collection, and nonconformance — integrated with WIP and the shop floor.
• Hands-on experience with lot and serial control and full genealogy and traceability in a regulated production environment.
• Experience with mobile shop-floor / barcode transactions (Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications or equivalent) for WIP and quality.
• Hands-on experience with complex multi-org manufacturing in a large, multi-plant, multi-entity environment.
• Working knowledge of outside processing / subcontract manufacturing and the procurement and receiving handoffs behind it.
• Experience integrating Oracle Manufacturing with an external quality-management system (such as MasterControl) and with shop-floor / product labeling systems (such as TEKLYNX), and autobagger.
• Experience in a regulated medical device or comparable manufacturing setting, working under FDA, GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and computer system validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) requirements.
• Experience in a global organization with operations across multiple regions and a high volume of legal entities.
• Solid understanding of SOX, IT general controls, and segregation of duties as they apply to BOM, cost, inventory, and quality processes.
• Proven experience leading technical work across the full software delivery lifecycle, from requirements through post-production support.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience with MasterControl (or a comparable QMS such as Veeva, TrackWise, or ETQ) integrated with Oracle for document, change, CAPA, and training control.
• Experience with enterprise labeling platforms (TEKLYNX, BarTender, or Loftware), and with Unique Device Identification (UDI) labeling and reporting.
• Experience integrating Oracle Manufacturing with a PLM system (such as Agile PLM, Windchill, or Teamcenter) for product and change data.
• Experience with the interface between Oracle Manufacturing and supply/production planning (ASCP or comparable), including capacity and material planning.
• Experience with configure-to-order or made-to-order flows, and with mixed discrete/flow production.
• Experience with shop-floor data collection, machine or equipment integration, and manufacturing analytics such as OEE.
• Experience with site-specific WIP customizations and custom shop-floor extensions in a multi-plant Oracle environment.
• Experience integrating acquired plants and products into an existing, live Oracle Manufacturing landscape.
• Lean, Six Sigma, or APICS/CPIM background.
