• Establish and maintain governance frameworks, design review processes, and documentation standards to support scalable and sustainable enterprise solutions.

• Drive continuous improvement and innovation through the adoption of modern JDE capabilities, including Orchestrator and UX One, while remaining aligned to Oracle’s roadmap and industry best practice.

• Proven experience leading full lifecycle ERP implementations and upgrades, including ongoing alignment to ERP roadmaps and Oracle release cycles.

• Ability to operate across both business and technical stakeholders, translating complex requirements into clear, scalable solutions while influencing executive decision making and cross-functional outcomes.

• Experience working in environments that span solution design, production stability, governance, and continuous improvement, balancing structure with practical delivery.
