Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Oracle is a leading company in AI and cloud solutions, dedicated to powering transformative breakthroughs in healthcare and life sciences. The Program Manager will lead complex cross-organizational programs, focusing on enhancing platform delivery and resilience while ensuring compliance and operational excellence. This role involves driving initiatives that improve cost efficiency and developer experience across multiple teams and regions.
Responsibilities
- Lead complex cross-org programs through the full program lifecycle: intake, planning, execution, launch/readiness, and retrospectives with measurable outcomes
- Build and maintain integrated program plans across multiple teams/workstreams (scope, milestones, dependencies, critical path, resourcing)
- Establish program governance and operating rhythm (weekly execution, milestone reviews, risk reviews, executive updates), driving closure on action items and decisions
- Partner with senior ICs/architects to identify root-causes of problems and practical solutions to solve them
- Ensure every program demonstrates clear ROI (e.g., saved engineering hours, improved deployment frequency, reduced cycle time)
- Lead security/compliance programs that integrate controls into the development lifecycle (“shift left with care”), emphasizing automation and tooling over checklist-driven enforcement
- Partner with Oracle Health and Oracle corporate compliance teams to drive execution: milestones, remediation tracking, evidence readiness planning, audit preparedness inputs, and release gating dependencies (as applicable)
- Surface and manage risk early with clear mitigation plans, owners, and timelines
- Lead cross-org DR programs to improve platform and service resilience across multiple OCI regions/realms, including government and commercial environments
- Drive DR strategy execution and program governance: defining scope, tiering/criticality, dependencies, runbooks, and timelines aligned to business and compliance needs
- Coordinate DR readiness using measurable goals (e.g., DR test plans, RTO/RPO, test execution status, remediation closure, and operational maturity)
- Lead large-scale migration/modernization programs (e.g., AWS-to-OCI), including dependency mapping, cutover planning, rollback planning, and production readiness coordination
- Partner with OCI hosting and cloud operations/SRE to align environment readiness, change management, incident readiness, and operational launch criteria
- Drive initiatives that measurably improve platform cost efficiency and engineering productivity: CI/CD improvements, automation, standardization, self-service tooling, and reduced lead time for change
- Define success metrics/OKRs and program dashboards/trend reporting; ensure outcomes are measurable and sustained post-launch
- Drive alignment across engineering functions (development, QA, automation, performance, configuration/environment management, UX, technical writing) and cross-functional partners (product management, cloud operations, services/support readiness)
- Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and decisions needed through crisp exec-ready readouts; lead escalations with options and impact analysis
- Facilitate retrospectives and continuous improvement to strengthen delivery reliability and cultural consistency
Skills
- 8+ years of technical program/project management, software delivery, or related roles in a software engineering environment
- BS degree or equivalent relevant experience
- Experience leading complex technical programs in large-scale software and/or cloud platform environments, coordinating cross-org initiatives with executive visibility
- Demonstrated strength in organization, communication, negotiation, and leadership without direct authority; ability to drive adoption through influence (not mandate)
- Strong execution discipline: planning, dependency management, risk/issue management, decision-making, and escalation leadership
- Track record of driving measurable improvements in cost efficiency, reliability, and developer productivity at platform scale
- Technical fluency with cloud software delivery and modern SDLC practices; experience operating in Agile environments
- Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and program planning tools such as MS Project (or equivalent); ability to produce clear plans, dashboards, and executive reporting artifacts
- Experience working with globally distributed teams across multiple time zones
- MS degree or equivalent relevant experience
- Experience delivering programs in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (e.g., security and vulnerability management in government cloud, healthcare)
- Experience building 'tooling-backed process' programs (e.g., compliance automation in CI/CD, standardized release pipelines, shared observability, golden paths)
- Experience with OCI and/or large-scale cloud migrations
- Experience supporting AI-enabled productivity/automation initiatives, including defining basic impact measures (time saved, cycle time improvements, adoption)
