The Technology Delivery Lead is accountable for the end-to-end delivery integrity of the entire change portfolio sitting on top of the Oracle Fusion ERP and Coupa S2P platforms — covering new-market roll-outs, uplift of existing markets, AI & innovation initiatives, and structural changes to the supporting ecosystem (data platforms, integrations, peripheral systems, governance tooling) — through to 2030.
The role exists to give the Platform Owner and the broader Technology organisation single-point visibility, single-point accountability and senior delivery leadership across a portfolio that today spans multiple concurrent programmes, multi-LBU waves, several external partners and a dense stakeholder map. It converts a fragmented, multi-vendor, multi-LBU delivery footprint into one governed portfolio with a unified plan, one risk view, one cutover discipline, one audit trail and one set of executive communications.
The role leads a team of Delivery Programme Managers / Project Managers (the "Delivery PMs") and is the Platform Owner's senior delivery partner — responsible for driving the decisions, exposing the trade-offs and shaping the recommendations that the Platform Owner takes into product, investment and governance forums.
Job Responsibilities
Portfolio Delivery Leadership Across Oracle & Coupa
Hold single-point delivery accountability for the full Oracle ERP and Coupa S2P change portfolio through 2030, including: ongoing wave roll-outs (Wave 2 — PLAI/PLT/PLUK; Wave 3 — Vietnam, CE Uplift, Eastspring uplift; Wave 4 — CLM, Taiwan, Africa, Bermuda/SAHI extensions), progressive uplift of remaining Regional Coupa markets onto the Strategic Coupa configuration, Strategic Coupa “rollout factory” sequencing alongside the Oracle programme, peripheral-system uplifts (UDP → OIC, SmartStream TLM, FDL/MDP), and AI & innovation deliveries.
Maintain a single, executive-ready portfolio plan — wave-by-wave, market-by-market, workstream-by-workstream — with named owners, critical-path dependencies, go-live dates, hyper-care windows and exit gates, refreshed on a fixed cadence.
Operate a unified RAID register across the entire portfolio with a clear escalation matrix into the unified Change Control Board, the Workstream Vendor Governance Committee and the Ecosystem Programme Steering Committee.
Programme & Wave Management
Lead the delivery of each Wave/Release as a single integrated programme — covering Functional Design, Technical Design, Build, Integrations, Data Migration, SIT/UAT, Dry Runs, Cutover, Go-Live and Hyper-care — ensuring the Wave Delivery Forum cadence, the Weekly Finance Product Forum and the Workstream Vendor Governance Committee are properly served with status, risks, change requests and decisions.
Own the end-to-end Change & Release pipeline at portfolio level: the intake of Local Fit Gaps, the qualification of Change Requests, the global vs local design split, the routing through the unified Coupa-Oracle Change Control Board, the prioritisation of the CR backlog and the protection of global design integrity.
Drive the operational discipline of the rollout factory — templated configuration, standard cutover, standard test packs, standard hyper-care — and progressively reduce the per-market unit cost as velocity scales.
Coordinate technical readiness across peripheral systems (HRIS / Workday, IAMPru, GL, SmartStream TLM, Coupa, FDL/UDP, middleware) at every Wave SIT, UAT, mock cutover, cutover and hyper-care phase.
