Release and Cutover Manager, Oracle Cloud HCM
Contract, six months. 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. UK, remote based. Day rate and IR35 determination being confirmed.
A major UK financial services organisation is running an optimisation programme across a live Oracle Cloud HCM estate. Payroll runs inside the same tenant, and the dependencies reach into finance systems, integrations, reporting platforms and downstream applications. They want one person to own the route to live end to end.
What you would own
- The environment approach across development, SIT, UAT and production, and the cross-system plan that maps Oracle HCM environments to every connected application and interface. You decide what gets into a controlled environment and what does not, which means holding the gate against project change, business as usual change, regulatory change and vendor change at the same time.
- Integrated release planning and implementation planning. Cutover governance, rollback and contingency, and post-implementation validation. Retrofit governance, so configuration, code and integrations stay aligned across environments and releases.
- Alignment of Oracle's quarterly updates with the programme's own releases, payroll cut-offs and testing cycles. The contract window covers two mandatory Oracle updates and the March payroll year end, so the calendar is most of the job.
- You work alongside project managers, product owners, architects, test managers, service management, suppliers and the change approval forums. On environments and releases, the decision is yours.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What the work needs
- Someone who has governed a route to live on a large ERP programme in a regulated environment, rather than executed releases on one. The distinction is the whole role: we are after the person who chaired the approval forum, set the entry and exit criteria, and said no to a delivery lead under pressure.
- Payroll matters more than any platform here. A payroll cut-off does not move, a parallel run either reconciles or it does not, and anyone who has never governed one will not hold the gate on one.
- Oracle Cloud HCM is what the estate runs on, and knowing the quarterly update cycle from the inside is a real advantage. If your ERP background is Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or PeopleSoft and everything else here describes your work, get in touch anyway.
- Financial services, or another regulated sector, because the audit trail and the approval evidence are half of what gets handed over at the end.
