As an acknowledged authority within Oracle, this senior-level program management position provides innovative solution leadership with significant industry-wide impact. Has wide latitude in guiding the successful implementation of an integrated business solution ensuring high quality and timely delivery within budget to the customer's satisfaction.

Oracle Consulting delivers very large and complex business and IT delivery projects based on the Oracle product set.

A need exists for highly talented senior program directors to deliver customer success against these challenging situations.

  1. To act as a trusted advisor to senior clients.
  2. To drive successful outcomes for our major customers using the Oracle product set and Oracle Consulting methods and tools.
  3. To be commercially astute when delivering an engagement.

  8. Manage and mitigate program and project risks.
  9. Both advise and challenge the customer throughout the program.
  10. Take full ownership to drive "best practice" in delivering a program.
  11. Develop strong relationships with the senior stakeholders within Oracle across our Licence and Consulting businesses.
  12. Manage the re-use and feedback into the Oracle delivery organisation to enable constant improvement of our program delivery.
