Oracle Consultant

Oracle Licensing & Contract Optimisation Lead

Contract | Remote

The role

We are looking for an experienced Oracle licensing and commercial specialist to lead a focused engagement for a large organisation, taking ownership of its Oracle licensing position and the contractual and commercial decisions around it. This is a senior, advisory-led role: you will lead a small team, with a couple of more junior resources handling the analysis and legwork beneath you, while you own the strategy, the commercial judgement and the client relationship.

This is not a database administration role. It is for someone who genuinely understands the commercial and licensing side of Oracle, the models, the contracts, the cost levers and the negotiation, across both the on-premise estate and Oracle Fusion cloud.

What you will do

• Assess and make sense of the client's Oracle estate and licensing position, including Oracle 19c and Fusion
• Identify licensing exposure, risk and cost-optimisation opportunities across the Oracle footprint
• Model the commercial impact of different licensing, contract and deployment scenarios
• Lead contract and commercial discussions, and support or lead negotiation of Oracle agreements
• Provide clear, senior-level recommendations on how to optimise cost and reduce risk
• Lead and direct a small team through the underlying analysis, keeping the work aligned and moving

What you will bring

Essential

• Deep, hands-on experience with Oracle, particularly Oracle 19c and Fusion, with genuine knowledge of Oracle licensing arrangements and models
• 10+ years of professional experience
• Experience managing contracts and/or negotiating, ideally in an Oracle or software licensing context
• The commercial acumen to translate a complex licensing position into clear cost and risk decisions
• The seniority and credibility to lead a team and advise senior client stakeholders

Desirable

• Experience in financial services
• Consulting or advisory background
• Financial modelling capability
