Why OCI

Help turn significant OCI data center investments into practical employment pathways and sustained community trust. This role combines enterprise reach, senior external representation, and direct ownership of partnership execution, with outcomes connected to site hiring and retention.

Key Responsibilities

• Build relationships with military installation leadership, transition programs, veteran and military spouse organizations, workforce boards, educational institutions, and community partners near those sites to connect qualified people with Oracle opportunities.

• Partner with OCI and HR to identify workforce needs at priority data center sites and develop site specific military hiring plans, including outreach, candidate pathways, and measures of hiring and retention.

• Work with recruiting and site teams to translate military experience into relevant roles, strengthen candidate awareness and access, and remove avoidable barriers in the recruiting and hiring process.

• Develop education, training, apprenticeship, and other workforce partnerships that prepare military connected candidates for current and future site needs, in coordination with HR and OCI leaders.

• Track partnership activity and talent outcomes with HR and OCI; use evidence from priority sites to improve programs and scale approaches that work across Oracle's infrastructure footprint.

• Experience building workforce development, talent pipeline, or public private partnership programs that connect military connected people with employment or training opportunities.

• Ability to work across business, HR, and community partners to turn local workforce needs into actionable plans and measurable outcomes.

• Strong executive communication and relationship building skills, including the ability to represent Oracle with senior external stakeholders.
