About the Role
The Council has completed a discovery and assessment phase, reviewing the current use of Oracle across Finance, People & OD and supporting corporate services. The programme is now moving into the design and business case stage, with a range of opportunities identified relating to system configuration, process improvement, reporting, controls, user experience, and the potential implementation of additional Oracle functionality.
Responsibilities

- Oversee multiple workstreams covering Finance, HR, IT, and Change Management, ensuring that technical, process, and organisational changes are successfully implemented and that anticipated benefits are realised.
- Produce a clear business case setting out the recommended future direction for Oracle and an implementation plan, including a roadmap for future re-procurement of the ERP system.
Requirements
We are particularly interested in candidates with significant experience of leading Oracle ERP optimisation or transformation programmes, ideally within the public sector or similarly complex organisations.
Compensation
Will pay up to £800 Umbrella for the right experience candidate.
