You are:

A results-oriented Oracle Utilities Deployment Lead with the planning discipline and execution focus to own a complex multi-release deployment program. You've been through Oracle Utilities go-live events and know the difference between a plan that looks good on paper and one that holds up under the pressure of a live cutover weekend. You're a clear communicator, a strong coordinator, and a calm decision-maker when things don't go to plan - which they rarely do. You bring the energy and accountability that a Release 2 deployment demands.

The work:

  • Own end-to-end deployment planning and execution for Oracle Utilities Release 2, including cutover runbooks, task sequencing, mock cutovers, dress rehearsals, and production go-live.

  • Develop and maintain Release 2 deployment plan documentation including task lists, dependencies, resource assignments, timing estimates, and go/no-go criteria.

  • Coordinate across functional, technical, infrastructure, data conversion, and client operations teams to align and execute the Release 2 deployment schedule.

  • Lead mock cutover and dress rehearsal exercises, capturing lessons learned and refining execution plans for production go-live.

  • Manage release management processes including environment readiness, code promotion, configuration migration, and deployment validation.

  • Serve as central command and communication hub during the live Release 2 deployment event, tracking task completion, escalating blockers, and reporting status to program leadership.

  • Support post-deployment hypercare operations including batch monitoring, defect triage, and stabilization activities.

  • Document deployment lessons learned and contribute to deployment playbook improvements for future releases.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
