We operate four retail brands: America’s Best, Eyeglass World, and Vista Optical inside select Fred Meyer stores and on select military bases. We offer an innovative culture where training is a priority, hard work is praised, and career growth is a reality. We are hiring for a Sr Manager, Oracle Fusion Applications to join our growing team! We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled Sr. Manager, Oracle Applications to serve as the senior techno-functional owner of our Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials and Supply Chain footprint, within our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), SCM, EPM, and OCI organization. This is a hands-on, leadership role with no immediate direct reports — the person in this seat is the senior-most functional authority on the team, but does not carry formal people-management responsibility at time of hire. This role serves as a critical bridge between Finance, Operations, and IT, and as the primary point of escalation for functional issues that require senior judgment — above the level typically handled by AMS/vendor support. In addition to hands-on configuration, solution design, and troubleshooting, this role owns the functional roadmap in partnership with the Director, participates directly in AMS/SI vendor governance, and represents Enterprise Applications in front of Finance and Supply Chain leadership. As the organization insources additional scope from our Application Managed Services provider, this role is expected to be the foundation a small functional team is built around. What Would You Do? The Specifics. Functional Ownership & Roadmap Serve as the senior functional owner and subject-matter authority for Oracle modules: AP, GL, FA, SCM, PO, and PA in Oracle Cloud (Fusion). Partner with the Director, Financial Systems to build, prioritize, and continuously manage the ERP/SCM improvement roadmap.

Configure, maintain, and optimize module setups including chart of accounts, ledger configurations, subledger accounting (SLA) rules, payables options, asset books, and procurement policies. Partner with business owners to gather requirements, conduct fit-gap analyses, and deliver solutions aligned with Oracle best practices. Support and participate in system upgrades, patches, and quarterly Oracle Cloud release reviews. AMS/Vendor Governance Participate directly in Application Managed Services (AMS) governance — including triage of incoming work, prioritization against the FlexOps/enhancement backlog, and quality review of vendor-delivered configuration and reporting changes. Serve as a working-level counterpart to the AMS provider's functional leads, ensuring consistent standards and knowledge continuity between internal and vendor-delivered work. Month-End Close (MEC) Support Provide dedicated support during monthly, quarterly, and year-end close cycles, ensuring all financial processes complete accurately and on schedule. Troubleshoot and resolve AP invoice holds, payment processing issues, GL journal import errors, FA depreciation exceptions, and PA cost allocation problems.
