This leader will play a critical role in defining positioning, accelerating field readiness, influencing product direction, and driving customer adoption across Oracle’s AI-enabled database portfolio.

• Strong executive presence with the ability to influence senior leadership, customers, and partners across global organizations.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, including the ability to simplify advanced AI and data infrastructure concepts.
• Recognized ability to lead through influence across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Field organizations without direct authority.
• Demonstrated success operating autonomously in ambiguous and rapidly evolving technology landscapes.
• Strong working knowledge of enterprise AI/ML concepts including embeddings, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, semantic search, and AI governance frameworks.
• Experience working with cloud-native architectures, enterprise data platforms, and distributed systems is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead outbound product management strategy and execution for Oracle Database AI and intelligent data platform initiatives.
• Define and operationalize global go-to-market strategies in partnership with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success organizations.
