About your role

We are looking for a hands-on Oracle SIOCS solution architect to join the Design Pod of a global luxury retail POS transformation. A standard Oracle Xstore and SIOCS template is being rolled out to boutiques in around 36 countries (2027 to 2030), delivered through a Design Pod, a Base Template Pod and regional EU and APAC PODs, under a standard-first (90/10) principle.

You will own the end-to-end design of Oracle Retail Store Inventory Operations Cloud Service (SIOCS) and its integration with Xstore and the wider landscape, so boutique inventory processes are accurate, standard and scalable across markets and across Fashion and F&B concepts.

You are a trusted advisor to senior business and IT stakeholders, able to say no to unnecessary customisation with a clear rationale, and you document decisions so knowledge is retained. You will be measured on inventory accuracy at go-live, template conformance and on-time design of 3 to 4 work packages a year.

Design hand-over packs to delivery PODs that meet Definition of Ready and design-gate criteria
Contribution to the Base Template roadmap and cloud release readiness, including impact of Oracle quarterly updates
Design reviews, quality gates and root-cause input on design and data defects; coaching of POD engineers

Requirements

Have a broad business skill set including stakeholder management with senior business and IT leaders, problem-solving, and resilience
Are able to say no to overcommitment and unnecessary customisation with a clear rationale
Have experience building and growing the right-skilled team: one team across PODs, vendors and locations
Have excellent interpersonal skills and strong written and verbal communication skills in English (C2 proficiency); French is a strong advantage; willingness to travel regularly to boutiques, regional PODs and client sites. Location: France (preferred, Paris)
Deep knowledge and hands-on experience with Oracle SIOCS (and its SIM heritage): configuration, workflows, APIs, and how SIOCS and Xstore share stock and transactions
Experience working with Oracle Retail Cloud architecture, integration patterns and update management; inventory concepts, shrinkage and cycle counting
15+ years in retail technology and 7+ years designing Oracle Retail inventory solutions incl. SIOCS or SIM (Senior Principal: 18+ years, several global rollouts as lead architect)
Have previously led multi-country store systems rollout covering POS and store inventory together
Strong luxury, fashion or premium retail background: high-value, low-volume and serialised stock, boutique-to-boutique fulfilment
Experience with Oracle product teams on SRs and escalations, and across multiple vendors; Oracle Retail certification is a plus
