iR has partnered with a client in Southern California who is looking to add a talented Senior Business Systems Analyst position with a focus on Oracle Manufacturing and Supply Chain Planning.

As an experienced Sr Business Systems Analyst, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Forecast Planning within the Information Systems (IS) department, you will be responsible for implementing and supporting Manufacturing and Supply Chain applications across all the company's sites. The position will require working with cross-functional application support professionals to keep Company’s core Oracle applications and integrations with various external systems in good health.

You will be responsible for writing user stories for new features, establishing business priorities, participating in design, and leading the testing and training of those new features. In addition, this role requires leading application support, executing the company's incident management strategy and providing leadership and expertise on application integration and development initiatives. You will be a vital part of the broader Oracle team that includes our business partners, BSA’s, Developers, Contractors, and Project management; a team that delivers vital, stable functionality that will allow the company to operate more efficiently and accurately.

What you get to go do in this exciting role:

• Leveraging an Agile Development “scrum” methodology, identify critical functionality or performance gaps based on information from business partners and technology peers to break down high-level information into epics and stories that solve the underlying problem.
• Implement and support Oracle Manufacturing and Supply Chain applications, including Inventory, BOM, WIP, ASCP, MRP, Engineering, Planning and Purchasing.
• Partner with our manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain business team members to understand business needs and assist them with the prioritization of stories in the Jira system.
• Work with your ERP Business Systems Analyst team members to create Solution Designs, along with hands-on configuration of Oracle EBS modules to meet business requirements.
• Be the liaison between our business partners & stakeholders and development resources, both within the Oracle team and across the broader IT / IS team, to integrate other business-critical systems with EBS (e.g., RapidResponse, Salesforce, Oracle Agile and the company's legacy ERP system).
• Understand the inherent challenges with turning designs and business requirements into technical solutions across a variety of web / mobile platforms.
• Prepare accurate and detailed documentation in the form of user stories, training material and configuration documentation.
• Ensure that our documentation will meet applicable SOX and FDA regulatory standards appropriate for its intended audience. While the Jira business processes in place will ensure SOX compliance, additional documentation may be required to satisfy FDA regulations, including the creation of documents summarizing requirements, specifications, test procedures, validation plans, system manuals, etc.
• In collaboration with the Quality Compliance team, ensure continued system compliance to applicable system regulations, including 21 CFR Part 11, and develop/deliver system specific documentation and program/module level operational procedures/work instructions.
• Always seek to understand, then strive to ensure we deliver what the business needs, not necessarily what was asked for.

What you need to be successful in this role:

• 5+ years as an Oracle EBS Business Systems Analyst, Oracle EBS version 12.x or higher preferred, with experience in manufacturing, supply chain planning modules, as a member of an information systems & technology team.
• Significant experience working in a discrete manufacturing environment.
• Experience with one or more full-life cycle implementations.
• Demonstrated ability to configure Inventory, BOM, WIP, ASCP, MRP, Engineering, Planning and Purchasing modules to business requirements.
• Experience integrating PLM systems with parts and assemblies in EBS (Oracle Agile PLM a definite plus)
• Experience with configurable BOM’s.
• Experience writing epics and user stories to document business process requirements, acceptance criteria and any technical considerations.
• Experience reading and writing basic SQL queries and manipulate data in Oracle EBS.
• Experience documenting and managing user acceptance testing.
• Demonstrated ability to work with BSAs supporting other modules (e.g., Order Management, Supply Chain, etc.) to create integrated solutions to business problems.
• Experience with Agile methodologies, working within a Scrum development environment.
• Excellent proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Word.
• Experience in developing process flows, using Microsoft Visio.

• Experience quickly understanding business processes and identifying technical solutions.
• Experience managing multiple projects/tasks of varying complexities, meet deadlines and work well under pressure.
• Good to excellent presentation, interpersonal, and communication skills.

• A desire to work in a positive, focused environment within a team that enjoys each other’s company.

These would be a Plus!
