Senior Oracle Exadata Migration Programme Manager - Luxembourg
KirchbergContractTBDSenior Oracle Technical Programme Manager | Oracle Exadata & Google Cloud Migration Location: Luxembourg (Hybrid) Contract: Freelance Duration: Initial 3-month contract (extension highly likely) Start Date: ASAP About the Opportunity Skillfinder International is supporting a leading international financial services organisation on a highly strategic Oracle infrastructure transformation programme. Our client is embarking on the migration of a critical Oracle database landscape towards Oracle Exadata, whilst maintaining its existing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. This is not a traditional Project Manager assignment. We are looking for a senior Oracle professional capable of operating at the intersection of technical delivery, programme governance and executive stakeholder management. The successful consultant will become the trusted interface between the client, Oracle Professional Services and multiple internal technical teams, ensuring the programme progresses smoothly whilst anticipating risks before they become delivery issues. This assignment requires someone who has already experienced large-scale Oracle infrastructure transformations and understands the complexity of coordinating multiple technical domains throughout an enterprise migration. The Role As the Technical Programme Lead, you will oversee the coordination of a complex Oracle infrastructure migration involving multiple workstreams and senior stakeholders. Rather than delivering the technical implementation yourself, your responsibility will be to ensure every technical stream progresses cohesively, dependencies are managed, governance remains effective and Oracle's delivery teams are challenged where appropriate. You will facilitate communication between infrastructure, database, cloud, networking, security and DevOps teams, ensuring the right technical experts are engaged at the appropriate stages of the programme. This role demands both excellent programme leadership and enough technical credibility to understand architectural discussions, identify delivery risks and influence technical decision-making. Key Responsibilities Lead the governance and coordination of a strategic Oracle Exadata migration programme. Act as the primary interface between the client and Oracle Professional Services. Build trusted relationships with senior technical stakeholders across the organisation. Coordinate technical workshops, steering committees and governance meetings. Identify programme risks, technical dependencies and potential migration blockers. Ensure infrastructure, networking, security, database and cloud teams remain aligned throughout delivery. Challenge technical assumptions where appropriate and facilitate informed decision-making. Support planning, execution and reporting across the entire migration lifecycle. Maintain programme visibility for both technical and executive stakeholders. Ensure lessons learned and best practices are captured throughout the engagement. Required Experience This position requires a rare combination of programme leadership and deep Oracle ecosystem knowledge. You should have previously delivered or coordinated enterprise-scale Oracle infrastructure transformation programmes within complex environments. Strong experience across several of the following domains is expected: Oracle Exadata Oracle Database Enterprise Edition Oracle RAC Oracle ASM Oracle Data Guard Oracle Enterprise Manager Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Hybrid Cloud architectures Enterprise infrastructure transformation High Availability environments Disaster Recovery strategies Database migration methodologies Enterprise networking Infrastructure security DevOps practices Infrastructure architecture Enterprise change management Whilst you are not expected to perform hands-on engineering activities, you must possess sufficient technical depth to engage confidently with senior architects, DBAs, infrastructure specialists and Oracle consultants. The Ideal Candidate The ideal consultant will have previously worked within one or more of the following environments: Oracle Corporation Oracle Consulting Oracle Professional Services Oracle Cloud Delivery Large System Integrators (Capgemini, Accenture, CGI, IBM Consulting, Atos, Sopra Steria, etc.) Enterprise infrastructure transformation programmes within regulated industries Previous experience working directly alongside Oracle delivery teams would represent a significant advantage. Existing relationships within Oracle are highly desirable, as effective collaboration and escalation management will be central to the success of the programme. Soft Skills We are looking for someone who combines technical credibility with outstanding communication skills. You should be able to: Build trust quickly with highly technical teams. Challenge constructively whilst maintaining strong stakeholder relationships. Translate complex technical discussions into clear business decisions. Navigate demanding enterprise environments with confidence. Remain calm under pressure and proactively resolve delivery challenges. Influence senior stakeholders without relying on formal authority. Why This Assignment? This is a genuinely unique opportunity to contribute to one of the most technically demanding Oracle infrastructure programmes within a major international financial institution. The assignment offers exposure to senior technical leadership, Oracle Professional Services and a large-scale enterprise transformation where your expertise will have a direct impact on programme success. Due to the highly specialised nature of this role, we expect applications from a very limited pool of experienced Oracle professionals. Interested? If you believe your background aligns with this opportunity, I would be delighted to discuss the assignment in more detail.
