About The Position

The Federal Consulting team seeks a Director of Strategy & Governance to own governance, decision velocity, and portfolio alignment across the Oracle Health Transformation Office. This is a hands-on governance leadership role that creates the governance structure, central issue visibility, decision discipline, and portfolio alignment needed to keep transformation initiatives moving at pace. This role keeps leadership focused on the central question: what decisions or blockers threaten acceleration, and who must act now. This role manages the Transformation Office governance model and operating rhythm, defines governance criteria, escalation SLAs, and decision-aging thresholds, and owns central issue tracking for enterprise blockers, dependencies, decisions, and escalations. By maintaining the executive decision log and a portfolio view of key initiatives, the Director of Strategy & Governance identifies where decisions, blockers, or dependencies are slowing progress and ensures steering materials are decision-oriented, not status-only. Join us as we advance how health happens through technologies that support patients, clinicians, innovation, and improved outcomes. Our mission is to build a human-centric healthcare experience powered by unified global data. We are seeking individuals who share our commitment to improving health equity and delivering quality care across the globe.
