Principal Regulatory Compliance Specialist

Oracle•Nashville, TN

About The Position

Oracle Compliance is seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Regulatory Compliance Specialist to join our dynamic team. As a key player in our global organization, you will be responsible for end to end intake of new compliance programs including performing gap assessments, informing leadership on regulatory changes, and pioneering compliance automation capabilities so that we maintain a high level of compliance while building efficiency across the organization. Compliance is facing increasing demand to evaluate, interpret, and respond to compliance and regulatory requirements across a growing Oracle Cloud product portfolio. This role is responsible for the intake process end to end: facilitating new compliance and regulatory requests, assessing whether Oracle should adopt them, presenting recommendations to leadership, and executing gap assessments to determine whether Oracle Cloud products meet required controls. This role requires specialized knowledge of how Oracle Cloud products are developed, how controls are implemented across products and services, and how regulatory requirements translate into operational and technical obligations. Complexity is increasing as requests span more products, frameworks, and cross-functional stakeholders, requiring this role to evaluate not only whether requirements can be met, but whether adoption is practical, scalable, and aligned to Oracle’s compliance strategy. This role is also intended to support broader Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) initiatives, including development of a Unified Control Framework that is intended for enterprise-wide adoption and will serve as a foundational input to Oracle's future automation capabilities.
