Job description

Systems Architect, Datacentre Process Improvements (EMEA / JAPAC)

Location : UK Remote, with travel requirements

About the Role

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is experiencing rapid expansion, particularly across EMEA and JAPAC. We are seeking a senior Systems Architect to own large-scale process improvements, productivity, and automation initiatives across our global datacentre operations in EMEA and JAPAC.

You will focus on orchestrating process and quality transformation—analyzing current practices, diagnosing bottlenecks, and implementing robust, scalable solutions that radically improve reliability, efficiency, and the time-to-launch for new sites.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive critical productivity and automation initiatives at scale across EMEA and JAPAC datacentres, integrating consistent architectural standards, processes, and tools.
• Lead the standardization of design patterns for datacentre deployments across EMEA and JAPAC to simplify and automate hardware operations and site onboarding.
• Identify, diagnose, and resolve systemic process bottlenecks—from problem recognition through analysis, solution design, and successful implementation.
• Champion quality-focused process improvements using recognized best practices (e.g., ISO 9001, Six Sigma, Lean).
• Participate in on-site reviews as required (typically monthly) to validate alignment between process documentation and actual site operations.

Required Skills and Experience

• Extensive experience architecting / engineering large-scale enterprise process or quality improvements, preferably in technical infrastructure or datacentre environments.
• Strong hands‑on experience with process diagnostics, process mapping, root cause analysis, and designing scalable, actionable solutions.
• Familiarity with quality frameworks and tools such as ISO standards, Six Sigma, Lean, or similar.
• Excellent communication skills, able to convey technical and process concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to travel (typically monthly; up to 25%) for site reviews and hands‑on process validation.
• Comfortable working in fast‑paced, sometimes ambiguous environments, and proactively driving change.

Desirable

• Prior experience in cloud datacentre operations or related fields is a strong plus, but not mandatory—motivated candidates with a record of process transformation in other complex technical domains are welcomed.
