Job Title: IT Solutions Lead, Oracle HCM Core HR
Department: Information Technology
Reports to: Oracle HCM Platform Manager
Position SummaryThe IT Solutions Lead for Oracle HCM Core HR is a lead solutions analyst and the organization’s functional expert for the Oracle Fusion HCM capabilities that enable the full recruit-to-retire employee lifecycle— Core Human Resources (HR), Absence Management, Recruiting, Onboarding, and Compensation. Reporting to the Oracle HCM Platform Manager, the role serves as a strategic liaison between HR, Talent Acquisition, Learning and Development, Compensation, Payroll, Finance, Operations, and IT teams.
This role is expected to drive the adoption, optimization, and strategic evolution of our HR business processes and the Oracle HCM platform — identifying opportunities to modernize, automate, and reimagine the candidate, employee, and manager experience, including through AI-enabled capabilities.
The successful candidate will combine expert, hands-on knowledge of Oracle Fusion HCM functionality and configuration with business analysis, solution design, configuration, testing, and data skills, and will understand how work structures, person and employment records, absences and leave, recruiting, onboarding, compensation, security, integrations, and downstream payroll and reporting processes work together across U.S. and international business units.
While the position resides within IT, success requires equal fluency in HR operations and technology — the ability to translate business and HR requirements into scalable Oracle solutions, and to challenge the status quo rather than simply maintain it.
