Job Responsibilities & Requirements
The ideal candidate for this position would be either a developer with substantial contracts management experience, or a business operations manager or attorney with enough technical depth and experience to readily understand both the details of proposed technological solutions and their implications vis-à-vis security, licensing and competitive issues. The position will require the ability to understand both the uses of third party technology in our products, and the licenses and other requirements that govern those uses, in detail. It also requires someone who is interested in learning what is going on across a huge range of product and service offerings, and whose personality will allow them to pragmatically help manage Oracle developers (and business people, and lawyers) into compliance with policy. Experienced cat herders will be strongly considered - if you have the right skills and are up to the challenge we would love to talk with you.
Experience of at least 5 years in software development, business operations, or program or product management is required. Pluses would include specific experience with product and/or network security, experience managing the integration of third party technology into product and service offerings, and experience dealing with licensing, contracts, or other intellectual property issues.
The candidate should have excellent teamwork, communication, and decision-making abilities.
A BSCS or equivalent is preferred but not required.
Oracle is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
