2) Oracle GTM Solution Design & Configuration
- Configure Oracle GTM objects and business rules, including (as applicable):
- Trade Item/Product Master trade attributes (HS, ECCN, origin, PGA attributes, etc.)

- FTA / Preference programs: qualification rules, supplier solicitations (if used), calculations, certificates
- Customs and filing readiness: declaration data prep, document sets, filing packets (where supported/required)
- Landed cost / duty & tax estimation and allocation (when in scope)
- Workflow, holds, approvals, notifications, and exception handling
- Define role-based access, compliance audit requirements, and retention needs.
3) Integrations & Data

- Collaborate with technical teams on:
- Interface mappings, canonical models, error handling, retries, monitoring, and reconciliation
- Master data governance for item, party, country, and classification data
- Support data conversion/migration for items, parties, licenses, and historical transactions (as required).
4) Testing, Cutover, and Hypercare
- Plan and execute SIT/UAT, performance testing (if needed), and compliance scenario testing.
- Resolve defects, manage configuration iterations, and support cutover planning (controls, holds, and contingency plans).
- Provide hypercare support and transition to steady-state operations.
5) Change Management & Training
- Develop SOPs, work instructions, training materials, and end-user training for compliance and operational teams.
- Support operating model design (RACI), exception queues, and compliance governance.
6) Reporting & Audit Support
