This consultant will serve as the dedicated subject matter expert responsible for assessing, redesigning, and optimizing Oracle security structures, while providing executive-level communication and guidance throughout the engagement.

This is a highly hands-on role requiring an individual who can quickly dive into the environment, identify security gaps and inefficiencies, and implement practical solutions.

• Evaluate current Oracle security setup, configurations, and governance practices.
• Configure and maintain security roles, responsibilities, privileges, and access controls within Oracle.
• Identify segregation of duties (SoD) risks, excessive access, and compliance concerns.
• Develop recommendations for security enhancements, governance improvements, and long-term sustainability.
• Partner closely with business stakeholders, IT teams, and leadership to understand security requirements and operational impacts.
• Document security design decisions, role mappings, and access management processes.
• Provide executive-ready updates, recommendations, and presentations to leadership throughout the engagement.
• Act as the primary Oracle security SME, advising on best practices, risks, and implementation considerations.

Required Qualifications

• Deep expertise in Oracle Security Administration and Configuration.
• Strong experience designing and managing role-based access control (RBAC) models within Oracle environments.
• Proven experience creating, optimizing, and troubleshooting user-level security matrices and access structures.
• Hands‑on experience with Oracle security setup, user provisioning, responsibilities, roles, and privilege management.
• Strong understanding of segregation of duties (SoD), audit controls, and security governance principles.
• Experience conducting security assessments and implementing remediation plans.
• Ability to operate independently and quickly establish credibility as a trusted advisor.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
• Strong documentation and presentation capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background supporting security transformations, security remediation projects, or ERP implementations.
• Experience working within regulated or compliance-driven environments.
• Familiarity with Oracle Identity and Access Management solutions.

Ideal Consultant Profile
