Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a hands-on Sr . Materials Supply Chain Management (IC3) to support materials planning, manufacturing coordination, and supply execution across OCI’s global cloud infrastructure and data center deployment operations.

This execution-focused individual contributor role for someone who understands how products are built, how materials flow through manufacturing, and how to validate whether a build plan is truly executable. The ideal candidate will act as a strong coordinator across manufacturing, supply planning, engineering, and procurement teams. Someone with a keen eye who can identify gaps, challenge commitments, and escalate material or capacity issues when actual execution is not aligned with plan.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities Materials Planning & Execution Validate material readiness and clean-to-build (CTB) status for planned production. Partner with Supply Planning and Demand Planning teams to align material availability with forecasted demand and near-term build requirements. Monitor material shortages, late commits, and production constraints at contract manufacturers and drive resolution with the appropriate teams. Review manufacturing plans and identify when supply, material, or capacity constraints are putting delivery commitments at risk. Support inventory planning and material positioning to maintain supply continuity while minimizing excess and obsolete inventory. Ensure timely execution of material flow to support rack and infrastructure delivery requirements. Contract Manufacturer & Supplier Coordination Work closely with Contract Manufacturers, ODMs, and suppliers to track material availability, production readiness, and capacity commitments. Validate whether manufacturing partners are meeting plan and identify root causes when actual output falls below commitment. Escalate material gaps, capacity misses, and execution risks to the broader cross-functional team for resolution. Support weekly, monthly, and quarterly supply and capacity reviews with manufacturing partners. Monitor material management practices at manufacturing and warehouse locations to improve control and accountability. Manufacturing & Operational Coordination
