Project Manager, Oracle Cloud HCM

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Take full ownership of an Oracle Cloud HCM program workstream from start to finish.

• Oversee the plan, budget, dependencies, risks, and delivery commitments.

• Collaborate with Product Owners, Architects, Test Managers, service management, and supplier teams.

• Navigate changes through formal governance, ensuring quality gates and Go/No-Go decisions are met.

• Strategically plan around Oracle’s quarterly update cycle and fixed payroll cut-off dates.

• Implement remediation and drive continuous improvement within a live HR and payroll environment.

• Coordinate dependencies across payroll, finance systems, integrations, reporting platforms, and downstream applications.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven project management experience on the Oracle Cloud HCM platform.

• Demonstrated accountability for the plan and outcomes, rather than merely functioning as a consultant.

• Experience with Oracle Fusion Cloud is essential; a background solely in E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft is not adequate.

• Proven track record in delivering on a platform that is already operational.

• Familiarity with remediation and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Comfortable with Oracle Cloud’s quarterly release schedule and the necessary regression testing.

• Knowledge of payroll cut-offs, parallel running, and payroll-related dependencies.

• Experience navigating formal change governance with verifiable approval documentation.

• Proven ability to coordinate delivery across suppliers and internal teams that do not report directly to you.

• Preference for candidates with financial services experience.

• Exposure to regulated change is a plus; experience in insurance, banking, building societies, or other regulated sectors is valued.

• Availability at short notice is preferred for the initial phase.

• Candidates currently residing in the UK are preferred.

• CV must clearly outline managed Oracle Cloud HCM projects, ownership details, the status of the platform, a summary of the current program, and notice period.

🏝️ Benefits

• Initial six-month contract, extending to 31 March 2027.

• Opportunity for remote work.

• Start dates available in early October 2026, with two positions commencing on 1 October 2026.

• Day rate and IR35 status to be confirmed prior to submission.
