Technical Program Manager

Job Description

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead integrated change governance and incident response for GPS technologies and operations. You will balance speed with control-switching seamlessly between crisis leadership and disciplined governance-to protect the availability, safety, and privacy of security systems across Oracle offices, data centers, and regional operations. The role spans risk-based decisioning, stakeholder communication, CAB facilitation, war-room leadership, automation of low-risk workflows, and data-driven continuous improvement.

About the team

• Oracle's Global Physical Security (GPS) team protects our people, facilities, data centers, and our customer operations worldwide. We design and operate resilient, scalable, and privacy-aware physical security solutions in close partnership with Real Estate & Facilities, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Data Center Engineering, Legal/Privacy, Procurement, and Regional Security Operations.

Responsibilities

• Daily Responsibilities

• Lead incident triage, severity assignment, war-room facilitation, and time-boxed decision making; coordinate workarounds/rollbacks and guide post-incident reviews with clear actions and owners.

• Manage the end-to-end change lifecycle: RFC quality checks, risk assessments, scheduling, validation, and enforcement of change freezes/blackouts for high-risk periods.

• Provide clear, concise updates to executives, operations teams, and engineers; establish and maintain a single source of truth for status, timelines, and next steps.

• Apply risk-based decisioning tailored to business impact, asset criticality, exposure, and blast radius.

• Maintain audit-ready evidence and artifacts (incident timelines, approvals, tickets, test results, and exceptions).

• Project Participation

• Embed incident-readiness and change-governance requirements into site builds, data center expansions, retrofits, and technology upgrades for access control, VMS, SOC platforms, and security networks.

• Champion pre-change testing strategies (lab validation, canary/gradual rollouts, rollback plans).

• Coordinate cross-functional readiness (runbooks, spares, monitoring, alerting, on-call coverage) prior to go-live.

• Governance, risk, and compliance

• Operate within Oracle policies and align to frameworks such as ISO 27001/22301 and NIST; ensure segregation of duties, approvals, and traceability.

• Define severity, priority, and risk criteria; manage change and emergency change processes; document exceptions and risk acceptances.

• Partner with Legal/Privacy to ensure changes and incident handling respect privacy-by-design principles for video, access logs, and visitor data.

• Operations enablement

• Standardize incident runbooks and communications templates; automate approvals for low-risk standard changes to reduce toil and cycle time.

• Build dashboards and metrics to spot trends, bottlenecks, and systemic risks; drive corrective actions and problem management.

• Coach regional teams in mode-switching between crisis response and governance discipline; support knowledge base and SOP development.

• Technology evaluation

• Assess and tune ITSM, monitoring/observability, on-call/paging, and collaboration tools for reliability, signal quality, and secure data handling.

• Evaluate integrations and automations (APIs, webhooks) that streamline RFC intake, risk scoring, owner routing, and verification.

• Ensure telemetry and logging support rapid incident detection and post-incident analysis while meeting privacy and retention requirements.

• When recommending third-party tools, verify alignment with Oracle's security, privacy, and procurement guidelines.

• Stakeholder engagement

• Influence without authority across GPS, OCI, Data Center Engineering, Regional Security Operations, IT/Network, vendors/integrators, and compliance teams.

• Facilitate clear decision-making among diverse stakeholders; escalate effectively and ensure roles and responsibilities are understood.

• Communicate status and risk in business terms to leadership and operational teams.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years in change, incident, or service management roles within large, complex, or 24x7 environments.

• Solid grasp of infrastructure, networks, operating systems, cloud (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS), containers/K8s, and application stacks sufficient to challenge plans and validate risk.

• Demonstrated experience running war rooms, conducting post-incident reviews, and managing change processes.

• Proven ability to apply risk-based decisioning and tailor responses to business impact and criticality.

• Strong written and verbal communication; executive-ready status reporting and stakeholder management.

• Experience with ITSM platforms, monitoring/observability, and on-call/paging tools; evidence and audit discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications: ITIL, PMP, CISM, or equivalent.

• Experience in physical security ecosystems (access control, VMS, SOC platforms, badge/visitor systems) and converged cyber-physical environments.

• Background in problem management, resilience engineering, and business continuity.

• Familiarity with change risk models, error budgets/SLOs, and automated change gating.

Key Competencies

• Balance speed with control; switch seamlessly between crisis leadership and governance discipline.

• Clear, concise communicator to executives, customers, and engineers; establishes a single source of truth.

• Mastery of incident management (triage, severity, war-room, workaround/rollback, PIRs) and change management (RFC quality, risk assessment, CAB, scheduling, validation, freeze/blackout).

• Data-driven; leverages dashboards to identify trends and systemic risks.

• Makes time-boxed decisions; conducts retrospectives and drives learning.

• Empathy and resilience; supports team well-being during sustained on-call periods; strong collaboration across global teams.

Work Model and Travel

• Strong ability to work independently and with teams across global time zones.

Notes

• Adherence to Oracle's security, privacy, and compliance standards is mandatory.

• When proposing or integrating third-party tools or services, ensure alignment with Oracle's internal security, privacy, and procurement guidelines.
