• Lead and mentor solution design teams, functional consultants, and technical architects across programme delivery.
• Oversee integration architecture between Oracle HCM and adjacent systems (e.g. finance, ERP, third-party HR tools), ensuring secure, reliable, and maintainable data flows.
• Own architectural governance, including design reviews, technical risk management, and adherence to security and compliance standards.
• Support pre-sales, bid, and proposal activity by shaping solution architecture options, effort estimates, and delivery approaches.
• Engage with C-suite and senior business stakeholders to advise on Oracle HCM roadmap, best practice, and strategic direction.
• Stay current with Oracle Cloud HCM product releases, features, and industry trends, advising on adoption strategy.

Candidate Profile

• 20+ years’ overall experience in HR technology, with substantial time spent specialising in Oracle HCM/HR solution architecture.
• Proven track record designing and delivering large-scale, complex Oracle HCM Cloud solutions across core HR modules (e.g. Core HR, Talent Management, Absence, Workforce Structures, Self-Service).
• Strong experience operating at Senior Manager / Associate Director level, with demonstrable leadership of architecture and delivery teams.
• Deep understanding of Oracle Cloud architecture principles, integration patterns, and data security/compliance considerations.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging senior client and business leadership.
• Strong commercial acumen, including experience supporting bids, proposals, and solution scoping.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, able to bridge technical and business audiences.
• Oracle HR Payroll experience is not required for this role.

What’s on Offer
