• Serve as the technology steward for Oracle Fusion HCM, maximizing capabilities available through the strategic platform before introducing additional technologies or custom solutions.

Integrated Product Leadership

• Co-lead multidisciplinary HR product groups with HR product/business leadership, bringing together functional, technical, integration, data, UX, architecture, cybersecurity, change, and operational expertise.
• Establish clear accountability across product management, technology delivery, platform ownership, and business process ownership.
• Enable persistent teams to move from problem identification through discovery, design, delivery, adoption, measurement, and continuous optimization.
• Manage technology capacity across support teams based on enterprise priorities, product roadmaps, dependencies, and business value.
• Establish product governance and delivery practices that enable rapid decision-making while maintaining enterprise architecture, security, compliance, and operational standards.

• Partner with HR product leaders to prioritize opportunities based on business value, employee experience, risk, feasibility, and enterprise strategy.
• Promote process simplification and standardization before introducing customization.
• Maintain an end-to-end perspective across employee, candidate, manager, and HR experiences rather than optimizing individual modules in isolation.
• Communicate product strategy, roadmap, outcomes, investment requirements, risks, and decisions to senior leadership.

Team & Capability Leadership

• Build and lead the technology capabilities required to support persistent, multidisciplinary HR product teams.
