Responsibilities

• Define organizational infrastructure strategy and operating model; align portfolio investments (compute, storage, networking, orchestration, service meshes, data planes) to LOB objectives, SLOs, and cost‑to‑serve targets; approve multi‑region deployment and modernization roadmaps.
• Establish enterprise architecture and operational standards for fault tolerance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency (redundancy models, quorum/consensus, partition tolerance, autoscaling, capacity guardrails, failure domains); mandate adherence and audit compliance.
• Govern resilience engineering: set policy for error budgets, game days/chaos testing, canary/blue‑green rollouts, and rapid rollback; ensure post‑incident learning reduces recurrence and time‑to‑mitigate.
• Institutionalize automation‑first operations (IaC, CI/CD for infrastructure/services, policy‑as‑code, golden configs); raise conformance and reduce toil through platformized capabilities and measurable adoption.
• Direct observability and performance strategy: define SLO/SLI and performance budgets; require deep telemetry (metrics/logs/traces/profiles) to drive reliability, tail‑latency reduction, and capacity headroom.
• Chair design and release governance for high‑impact infrastructure changes; adjudicate trade‑offs among reliability, scalability, security, performance, and cost; issue binding decisions and exception frameworks.
• Ensure security, privacy, and regulatory obligations are embedded (hardening, identity/least privilege, encryption/secrets, SBOM/dependency governance) with audit‑ready evidence in delivery pipelines.
• Set organization‑wide KPIs/OKRs and executive dashboards (availability/SLO attainment, MTTR/MTTA, change failure/rollback rate, latency/throughput, capacity forecast accuracy, automation coverage, cost‑to‑run); intervene where risk or value signals warrant.
• Harmonize engagement with Product/Platform Engineering, SRE/Operations, Networking, Security/Privacy, Data/Storage, and Capacity Planning to avoid service interruptions and accelerate value realization.
• Optimize vendor/tooling, hardware platforms, and cloud spend; manage supply/resiliency risks and lifecycle refresh; verify third‑party alignment with Oracle security, privacy, and vendor policies.
• Manage multi-year budgets, global headcount, and vendor relationships; define and track key performance indicators (KPIs); mentor Senior Directors and Vice Presidents, championing an inclusive, safety-first, and high-performance culture across the organization.
• Ensure all practices and initiatives are consistently operated in the best interests of Oracle and its customers, driving trust, innovation, and sustained business value.
