Principal Program Manager

Are you passionate about cloud technology and delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives? Are you excited about helping teams navigate change and improve how work gets done? Join the Oracle Transformation & Delivery team as a Principal Program Manager at our Nashville HQ.

As Oracle continues its rapid growth, our team is focused on driving initiatives that improve operational efficiency, accelerate business outcomes, and support organizational scalability. In this individual contributor role, you will own and drive complex programs that span multiple teams and require strong coordination across product, engineering, operations, and corporate functions.

You will leverage Oracle's internal AI capabilities and emerging technologies to help teams improve processes and execute transformational initiatives from concept through delivery. This position is part of a growing function and provides the opportunity to contribute to program management best practices, governance, and execution approaches while independently driving meaningful business outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Program Management & Execution: Own complex cross-functional programs from initiation through implementation. Develop program plans, establish milestones, manage dependencies, track execution, and drive accountability across participating teams to deliver agreed-upon outcomes.

Develop concise status reports, presentations, decision materials, and other communications that provide appropriate visibility and enable timely decision-making.

• Performance Tracking & Operational Excellence: Define and maintain appropriate program metrics and reporting mechanisms to monitor progress and outcomes. Use data, dashboards, scorecards, and regular reviews to identify issues, improve execution, and maintain accountability.

• Process Improvement & Organizational Enablement: Identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce unnecessary complexity, and increase execution effectiveness. Apply program management practices and emerging capabilities, including AI and automation, to help teams work more effectively and scale successful approaches.

• Additional Responsibilities: Lead or support transformation initiatives, operational improvements, and other strategic projects based on business needs.
