ORACLE DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR

Job Details: Job Location: Global Holdings LLC - Tulsa, OK 74119, Position Type: Full Time, Salary Range: $110,000.00 - $140,000.00 Salary/year, Job Category: Infrastructure Services About the Role GH LLC is looking for a hands-on, technically deep Oracle DBA to serve as the primary Oracle database administrator on a small but high-impact Database Services team. You will report directly to the Database Services Manager, who serves as your secondary DBA and organizational point of contact, but day-to-day database administration, performance management, and technical decision-making will be yours to own. Our Oracle environment centers on a two-node RAC cluster with Data Guard standby, supporting core business operations. The databases are production-critical and in active use. There is meaningful work ahead - performance tuning, index and storage remediation, security hardening, a version upgrade, and a server infrastructure migration on the horizon - and we are looking for someone who can build a stable, well-managed foundation over time. We understand that walking into a new environment takes time. You will be given the opportunity to acclimate, learn the system, and get your footing before being expected to drive major changes. Sustainable, well-understood work is the goal - not speed at the expense of stability.

You are most comfortable when you are diagnosing something, fixing something, or building something - not in meetings talking about doing those things. You are methodical under pressure, you document your work, and you do not consider a problem solved until you understand why it happened. You are not deterred by a backlog or by imperfect documentation. You have walked into environments that needed attention before, and you approached the situation as an opportunity rather than a liability. You know how to prioritize, communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders, and build trust through steady, reliable execution. You will have real ownership here. Your recommendations will be heard, your expertise will be respected, and the work you do will have a direct and visible impact on the stability and performance of systems that matter to the business. #J-18808-Ljbffr GLOBAL HOLDINGS TULSA LLC
