  • Ability to travel frequently and globally, including on short notice.
  • Strong ownership mindset, urgency, judgment, and ability to operate with limited direction in ambiguous, high-pressure environments.
Responsibilities
  • Lead multiple high-priority GPU infrastructure expansion programs across Oracle Cloud data centers, with a primary focus on JAPAC and additional global regions as required.
  • Own program execution from planning through commissioning, validation, operational handover, and customer readiness.
  • Quickly assess project health and identify schedule risks, execution gaps, technical blockers, dependency issues, and ownership gaps.
  • Develop and drive recovery or acceleration plans for programs that are behind schedule, blocked, or at risk.
  • Challenge assumptions in project schedules, build plans, delivery commitments, and dependency models to ensure plans are realistic, executable, and optimized for speed.
  • Continuously identify opportunities to compress timelines, remove blockers, improve sequencing, and increase execution velocity without compromising quality, safety, or operational readiness.
  • Manage complex infrastructure builds across the full delivery lifecycle, including site readiness, construction dependencies, tenant fit-out, power and cooling readiness, rack delivery, network deployment, cabling, server integration, validation, commissioning, and operational handover.
  • Partner with infrastructure build teams to ensure GPU deployments align with facility readiness, including power, cooling, network, rack infrastructure, installation quality, and commissioning milestones.
  • Manage dependencies between construction, engineering, network delivery, supply chain, equipment installation, commissioning, software readiness, and steady-state operations.
  • Ensure project plans reflect the true infrastructure build sequence, including technical constraints, lead times, material availability, operational risks, and regional execution realities.
  • Support the successful transition of completed infrastructure into production operations and customer consumption.
  • Drive delivery of high-density compute environments, GPU infrastructure, AI clusters, liquid cooling, air cooling, advanced rack architectures, and complex network/server integration programs.
  • Work with Data Center Design, Facilities, Power, Cooling, Network Engineering, Server Engineering, Software Engineering, Capacity Planning, and Operations teams to ensure deployment requirements are understood and executed.
  • Understand the infrastructure dependencies required to bring GPU platforms or clusters into production, including facility readiness, rack-level connectivity, structured cabling, network readiness, software integration, validation, and operational handoff.
  • Partner with engineering teams to translate technical requirements and infrastructure constraints into executable delivery plans.
  • Apply working knowledge of hyperscale data center environments, including compute infrastructure, network architecture, server connectivity, deployment sequencing, and operational readiness.
  • Understand multi-layer and multi-tier network designs, including how network, compute, storage, and software components connect and depend on one another.
  • Apply familiarity with structured cabling, fiber cabling, server-to-network connectivity, rack-level connectivity, network validation, and infrastructure bring-up processes.
  • Work with technical teams to convert complex infrastructure issues into clear risks, actions, owners, recovery plans, and executive-ready summaries.
  • Use technical judgment to identify hidden dependencies, challenge incomplete plans, and ensure delivery schedules reflect real-world execution requirements.
  • Drive coordination across Data Center Design, Construction, Engineering, Network Delivery, Capacity Planning, Supply Chain, Logistics, Software Engineering, Data Center Operations, vendors, contractors, field teams, and executive stakeholders.
  • Operate across multiple organizations with competing priorities, unclear ownership, regional complexity, and aggressive delivery expectations.
  • Lead issue resolution across organizational boundaries and escalate when executive decisions, trade-offs, or priority calls are required.
  • Ensure stakeholders have clear visibility into program priorities, milestones, blockers, owners, actions, risks, and expected recovery timelines.
  • Manage external vendors, contractors, colocation providers, logistics partners, and strategic infrastructure partners to ensure execution quality and schedule alignment.
  • Own detailed program schedules, milestone tracking, dependency management, issue resolution, and delivery risk mitigation.
  • Identify critical path risks early and drive mitigation before they impact committed timelines.
  • Track project health, delivery milestones, budgets, dependencies, readiness criteria, and operational handover status.
  • Drive regular program reviews, recovery checkpoints, escalation forums, and cross-functional execution meetings.

Oracle urges FERC to fast-track gas pipeline for $1.1B Project Jupiter data centre

Oracle has urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to speed up approval of the 17.8-mile Green Chile pipeline in New Mexico. It says delays threaten its Project Jupiter data center campus. The pipeline would carry about 400 million cubic feet of natural gas a day to power the site's microgrid, which uses Bloom Energy fuel cells. Its start date has slipped to February 2027 from August, after local opposition forced developer Transwestern Pipeline Co. to move the route onto federal land. Environmental groups and New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez want FERC to review the data center and pipeline together. Oracle has considered trucking in gas for early commissioning work. In a letter to FERC on Tuesday, Oracle said the four-building campus would support nearly 5,800 peak construction jobs and generate up to $1.1 billion in annual economic output for Doña Ana County.

Oracle vs Intuit: why Oracle's 30% cloud growth beats Intuit's cheaper valuation

A Motley Fool analysis picks Oracle over Intuit as the better tech stock to buy in 2026, though it flags risks at both companies. Intuit posted fiscal 2026 revenue of $21 billion, up about 14%, with net income near $4.6 billion and free cash flow of $8.6 billion. It trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 13.1x, against 17.4x for Oracle. The author warns it could be a value trap as cheaper tax tools threaten its individual customer base. Oracle reported revenue of about $67 billion, up 17%, and net income of $17 billion. Free cash flow was negative at nearly $5.4 billion. Its debt-to-equity ratio fell from 3.6x in May to 2.3x in August. The author favours Oracle for its cloud backlog and 30% revenue growth last quarter.

PowerPlan launches supported Enterprise Adapter for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, ending custom code

PowerPlan, a financial software provider for asset-intensive companies, has launched an Enterprise Adapter for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. The Atlanta company announced the product on October 13, 2026. The adapter gives customers a standard, supported way to bring Oracle financial and project data into PowerPlan's Project and Asset Accounting solution. It replaces the custom integrations many teams now maintain themselves, which grow costly as cloud software updates frequently. "We support the connection and maintain it as both platforms evolve, so our customer teams don't have to," said Todd Bransford, chief product officer at PowerPlan. The adapter is available now. It is part of PowerPlan's growing suite of Enterprise Adapters.

Oracle edges Cisco in dividend battle despite 30% YTD decline

Oracle and Cisco are both positioned to benefit from growing AI infrastructure demand, though through different approaches. Oracle focuses on cloud computing power through its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, while Cisco concentrates on networking and security, including its Secure AI Factory partnership with Nvidia. Oracle reported annual sales of $67.36 billion and net income of $17.09 billion, outpacing Cisco's $63.33 billion in sales and $13.27 billion in profit. Oracle trades at 22 times forward earnings versus Cisco's 27 times. Both companies offer a 1.4% dividend yield. However, Oracle's payout ratio stands at 29%, compared with Cisco's 45%, providing more reinvestment flexibility. Cisco has delivered stronger stock performance with 112% returns over five years, more than double Oracle's 51%. Analysts rate Oracle a "Strong Buy" and Cisco a "Moderate Buy".
