  • Manage risk, dependencies and cutover strategy
  • Provide hands-on technical guidance to engineers and delivery teams

Technical Skills & Experience Required

  • Strong hands-on experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
  • Proven experience delivering on-prem cloud migrations
  • Experience designing OCI networking, VCNs, routing, Firewalls and security controls
  • Identity and access management within OCI
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code and automation (Terraform or similar advantageous)
  • Strong understanding of cloud security and governance in regulated environments
  • Experience operating within SC-cleared or UK public sector environments

Desirable Experience

  • Exposure to manufacturing/engineering platforms
  • Experience supporting migration of platforms such as:
    • Windchill PDMLink
    • IBM ACE
    • MESTEC
    • Database security solutions (eg Guardium)
  • Experience working alongside application and integration specialists during large-scale migrations

Candidate Profile

  • Confident stakeholder communicator
  • Able to operate both strategically and hands-on
  • Comfortable working within structured governance and security frameworks
  • Strong documentation and design capability
