Role: Oracle Fusion Technical Lead
Fixed-Term Contract: 24 - 36 months
Salary: £80k - £100k DOE
Location: Hybrid - 2-3 days per week in London (with global collaboration)
Start: Immediate requirement

One of our global clients is embarking on a major finance systems transformation programme and is seeking an experienced Oracle Fusion Technical Lead to support the design, build and delivery of their worldwide Oracle Fusion ERP and EPM implementation. This is a significant, high-impact role within a complex, multinational environment, requiring deep technical leadership, architectural expertise and strong programme governance capabilities.

The programme is a central component of their Global Finance Vision and will create a modern, unified, cloud-based finance foundation, improving decision-making, operational efficiency and user experience across 34 countries. The initiative is already well-structured, and they are now looking for a senior technical leader to drive the next phase of delivery.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience delivering global Oracle Fusion Finance implementations, including ERP and EPM.
• Strong hands-on expertise across Oracle Fusion architecture, integrations, data migration, environments, and security.
• Experience with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), REST/SOAP APIs, and third-party integration patterns.
• Solid understanding of data migration strategy, including extraction, transformation, validation, reconciliation and cutover planning.
• Strong working knowledge of Fusion reporting (OTBI, BI Publisher), technical extensions, and environment management.
• Experience leading large, multi-stream programmes within complex global organisations.
• Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business language.
• Strong programme governance, risk management and issue resolution skills.

About the Role

This is a critical leadership position responsible for ensuring the Oracle Fusion technical landscape is robust, scalable and aligned with global business needs. The role includes:

• Leading technical architecture, integration design, data migration, environments and security for Oracle Fusion ERP & EPM.
• Establishing technical governance frameworks and chairing the Programme’s Technical Design Authority.
• Managing dependencies, risks and technical delivery across multiple regions and stakeholders.
• Partnering with the Systems Integrator and holding them accountable for deliverables and quality standards.
• Supporting testing cycles including SIT, performance testing, and hypercare.
• Supporting change, adoption and the transition into a new BAU support model.

This role is ideal for a technical leader who can operate confidently across architecture, integration, delivery oversight, and senior stakeholder engagement.

If you feel you meet the above criteria, please apply. Due to the volume of applications, we may not be able to respond to all unsuccessful applicants.

This is not a lab-coat, blue-sky R&D role. Its a proper senior engineering role for someone who knows how to take a product from concept and turn it into something that can actually be built, validated, and shipped in a regulated environment.

Youll sit at the sharp end of new product introduction. Leading projects, owning technical decisions, managing risk, and being the engineer people look to when things get complex. If you enjoy responsibility, autonomy, and being trusted to make judgment calls, this will suit you.

This role suits someone who has grown up in regulated product development. Medical devices ideally, but aerospace or automotive backgrounds also fit if you understand structured design control and validation.

What you’ll be doing

*

Leading NPI and design transfer projects from early concept through to manufacturing.

*

Acting as the senior technical interface internally and externally during development.

*

Owning design outputs, including drawings, BOMs, specifications, DMRs, and manufacturing documentation.

*

Driving risk management activities across products and projects, not just filling in templates.

*

Working closely with Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and Suppliers to ensure smooth transfer.

*

Supporting validation activity, including IQ, OQ, and PQ during scale-up and early production.

*

Making independent engineering decisions and escalating only when genuinely needed.

*

Mentoring junior engineers and setting technical direction within the team.

*

Improving products and processes based on real manufacturing and field feedback.

What you’ll need

*

A strong background in regulated product development and design transfer.

*

Experience working to ISO 13485, or equivalent regulated standards from aerospace or automotive.

*

Confidence leading projects and technical discussions without needing hand-holding.

*

Solid understanding of risk management, validation, and design control.

*

Ability to translate engineering intent into documentation that manufacturing can use.

*

A practical mindset. You care about DFM, DFA, yield, and real-world outcomes.

*

An engineering degree, HND, or HNC with solid experience behind it.

*

Typically 5–8+ years in a similar environment.

Why is this role interesting

*

Senior technical ownership without layers of bureaucracy.

*

Real influence over how products are designed and transferred.

*

Long-term product lifecycle involvement, not just project handovers.

*

Scope to shape processes, mentor others, and contribute IP.

*

A role built around trust and competence, not micromanagement.

If you’re currently stuck being the safe pair of hands with no real authority, this role gives you the space to actually lead.
