Director, Strategy & Governance

Job Description

Overview:

The Federal Consulting team seeks a Director of Strategy & Governance to own governance, decision velocity, and portfolio alignment across the Oracle Health Transformation Office. This is a hands-on governance leadership role that creates the governance structure, central issue visibility, decision discipline, and portfolio alignment needed to keep transformation initiatives moving at pace. This role keeps leadership focused on the central question: what decisions or blockers threaten acceleration, and who must act now.

This role manages the Transformation Office governance model and operating rhythm, defines governance criteria, escalation SLAs, and decision-aging thresholds, and owns central issue tracking for enterprise blockers, dependencies, decisions, and escalations. By maintaining the executive decision log and a portfolio view of key initiatives, the Director of Strategy & Governance identifies where decisions, blockers, or dependencies are slowing progress and ensures steering materials are decision-oriented, not status-only.

Are you experienced in building governance that drives decision velocity rather than status reporting? Can you maintain central visibility into enterprise issues and force clarity on ownership, next action, and intervention? Do you speak clearly to risks and the underlying blockers behind them? If so, this role may be an excellent opportunity.

Join us as we advance how health happens through technologies that support patients, clinicians, innovation, and improved outcomes. Our mission is to build a human-centric healthcare experience powered by unified global data. We are seeking individuals who share our commitment to improving health equity and delivering quality care across the globe.

Basic Qualifications

• At least 10 years of total combined related work experience and completed higher education, including experience in governance, program or portfolio management, transformation, or consulting operations.

• Proven track record building and running governance models, steering cadences, and executive decision processes.

• Demonstrated ability to define escalation criteria, SLAs, and decision-aging thresholds that drive decision velocity.

• Strong understanding of portfolio management and strategic alignment across multiple initiatives.

• Ability to force clarity on ownership, next action, and intervention while speaking clearly to risks and blockers.

• Ability to obtain Federal security clearance (Public Trust) necessary for this role, which requires being a US citizen and residing in the US.

• High attention to detail, precision, and an unwavering commitment to decision discipline and accuracy.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in Oracle Health, healthcare IT, Federal Consulting, or federal healthcare delivery environments.
