Director, Business Operations
About The Position
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Director of Business Operations to drive strategic planning, operational discipline, and business performance across the Infrastructure Planning and Sourcing organization. The leader translates organizational priorities into actionable plans, establishes measures of success, and leads cross-functional initiatives supporting infrastructure capacity, supply readiness, and investment efficiency. The position calls for strong business judgment, analytical depth, and the ability to align stakeholders across planning, sourcing, engineering, finance, and infrastructure delivery. The Director leads annual planning, quarterly portfolio reviews, monthly business reviews, and organizational goal setting; establishes performance scorecards and executive reporting; drives alignment among infrastructure demand, supply availability, sourcing strategies, and deployment schedules; and partners with Finance and functional leaders on forecasting, investment tradeoffs, and cost and resource efficiency. The role also standardizes planning and reporting practices, improves data quality and automation with analytics and systems teams, prepares executive communications and recommendations, and leads and develops a business operations team across a geographically distributed organization. Success means leadership has a consistent view of performance, priorities, and risks; planning and sourcing decisions reflect clear operational and financial tradeoffs; cross-functional commitments have owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes; teams spend less time reconciling information; and forecast accuracy, execution predictability, and investment efficiency improve.
