OVERVIEW
The Senior Oracle Cloud Technical Lead will provide technical leadership for a full life cycle Oracle Cloud implementation for a public sector K-12 client located in Maryland. The implementation will span Oracle Cloud applications, including Financials, HCM, Payroll, Procurement, Projects and Grants, EPM, and related capabilities. This role is accountable for the technical architecture, integrations, data migration, reporting, extensions, security coordination, development standards, environments, and technical delivery across the program.
The Technical Lead will work closely with client technology leaders, the Project Director, Project Manager, functional workstream leads, solution architects, and onshore and offshore technical teams. The successful candidate must combine hands-on Oracle Cloud development expertise with the leadership skills needed to establish standards, guide technical decisions, coordinate dependencies, review deliverables, resolve complex issues, and translate technical topics for non-technical stakeholders.
The client is transitioning from Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to Oracle Cloud. Experience assessing R12 customizations, interfaces, conversions, reports, workflows, and extensions and determining appropriate Oracle Cloud replacement strategies is strongly preferred. State, Local, and Education (SLED) experience, particularly with public sector K-12 organizations, is highly preferred but not required. Travel to the client site in Maryland Monday through Thursday may be required.
