Job description

We are seeking a product management leader with deep expertise in databases, data management, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise migration who is passionate about making Oracle Cloud the ideal destination for mission-critical open-source data and messaging workloads.

As a Principal Product Manager, you will own a major strategic product area that reaches across organizations and influences LOB outcomes. You will translate customer migration patterns, competitive signals, field insights, and technical constraints into a coherent strategy, then lead cross-functional execution through influence. Success in this role means customers choose OCI because the migration path is clearer, operational risk is lower, the economics are stronger, and Oracle is the trusted platform for their most important data.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who can operate fluently from executive narrative to technical design review. You will partner with engineering, marketing, sales, support, cloud architects, and strategic customers to define what we build, why it matters, and how we bring it to market at LOB scale.
