The successful candidate will provide strategic leadership across business, technology and delivery partners, ensuring the programme delivers measurable business outcomes, strong stakeholder engagement and a successful transition into business-as-usual operations.

You will have a track record of leading Oracle Fusion Financials programmes from mobilisation through to deployment, successfully navigating complex stakeholder landscapes and driving delivery across business and technology functions.
