Job Description

Oracle E-Business Suite Program Manager (Contractor)

3-4 WEEKS ONSITE WORK (MIDWESTERN US) IN THE 1ST 8 WEEKS. THEN POTENTIALLY 3-4 WEEKS ONSITE WORK (MIDWESTERN US) 4-5 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 12-18 MONTHS AFTER THIS. EXPENSES COVERED.

Lead a Multi-Million Dollar Global ERP Transformation – and Make Your Mark

This isn’t just another Oracle E-Business Suite role. It’s a career-defining contract running a high-profile, long term ERP program for a major global organisation — with executive-level backing, big budgets, and a complex delivery landscape that will stretch your skills and reward your expertise.

As Oracle E-Business Suite Program Manager, you’ll be the strategic and delivery leader, steering multiple workstreams (functional, technical, integrations, data migration, testing) to success. You’ll be embedded at the heart of decision-making — influencing direction, managing senior stakeholders, and ensuring every moving part of the program is aligned, on track, and delivering real business value.

What makes this different?

• Global scope – shape outcomes that impact an international business.
• High-impact travel – initial 3–4 weeks onsite in the US Midwest during the first 8 weeks, then targeted onsite visits 4–5 times over the next 12–18 months (all expenses covered).
• Executive buy-in – direct access to decision-makers, no endless red tape.
• Program complexity – a rich mix of functional transformation, integrations, and change management challenges.

Why you’ll want in:

You’ll be working with one of the UK & Ireland’s premier Oracle consultancies — a 10-year Certified Great Place to Work, multi-award-winning Oracle partner, and a team that actually delivers. Version 1’s Oracle practice is known for doing things right: high standards, sharp people, and a culture that supports contractors as integral members of the delivery team.

If you’re an Oracle EBS program leader who thrives on complexity, loves to bring order to chaos, and can inspire confidence at every level, this is your stage.
