About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) powers the world's most demanding workloads, helping organizations innovate with secure, high-performance cloud services. As OCI continues its rapid growth, we're investing in operational excellence, strategic initiatives, and scalable business processes that enable our teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences and accelerate innovation. We're looking for an experienced Senior Business Program Manager to help drive strategic business initiatives that support OCI's continued growth. This role will partner across engineering, product, operations, finance, and executive leadership to coordinate high-impact programs, improve operational effectiveness, and ensure successful execution of key business priorities. As a Senior Business Program Manager, you will lead cross-functional programs that support OCI's strategic priorities, including expanding the adoption of AI-enabled business capabilities, improving operational efficiency, and driving initiatives that strengthen OCI's networking and storage businesses. Rather than owning technical implementation, you will focus on bringing together diverse stakeholders, establishing governance, driving execution, managing risks, and ensuring organizational alignment across multiple teams. You will help translate strategic priorities into actionable plans while providing leadership with the visibility and insights needed to make informed decisions. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex business challenges, improving operational processes, and leading programs that have broad organizational impact.
