 <br>
A <strong>government </strong>client is looking for a <strong>Service Delivery Manager</strong> to join them on a <strong>6 month contract</strong>. This position will be based in <strong>Milton Keynes/ Hybrid.</strong><br />
 <br>
<strong>Job Summary:</strong><br>
We run and develop one of the largest Oracle Cloud shared services in UK government. You will own the day-to-day delivery of this service. That means the health of live operations, the discipline behind how change gets in, and the relationship between the business and the technical teams who keep the system running and improving. You will work closely with our Oracle Fusion functional consultants, who major in one of HCM and UK payroll, ERP financials, or EPM, and you will need to understand enough of what they do to manage their work well, prioritise it sensibly, and represent it credibly to stakeholders. This is not a passive coordination role. You are accountable for the service running well, for incidents being handled at the right pace and to the right standard, and for the pipeline of change being planned, resourced and delivered without surprises.<br>
What you will actually do:<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Own service delivery performance against SLAs and KPIs, across incidents, service requests and change, reporting honestly on where things stand and what you are doing about it<br />
	<li>Chair or oversee incident, problem and change management processes, including major incident response and post-incident reviews<br />
	<li>Plan and manage the rota that keeps support cover running 06:00 to 22:00, Monday to Friday, and the out of hours on-call arrangement for serious incidents, balancing coverage against fairness and burnout<br />
	<li>Work with the functional consultants to prioritise and sequence incoming work: quick fixes, sprint-based configuration changes, and larger structured work packages<br />
	<li>Own the relationship with product owners and business leads, act as the point of escalation, and make sure impact assessments and requirements are clear enough for the consultants to act on<br />
	<li>Manage the quarterly Oracle release cycle end to end: coordinate assessment, testing, communication and go-live across HCM, ERP financials and EPM<br />
	<li>Track and report on capacity, workload and risk across the functional team, and flag early where resourcing or skills gaps threaten delivery<br />
	<li>Own service governance: service reviews, reporting packs, continuous improvement plans and any supplier or third-party performance management<br />
	<li>Ensure test evidence, configuration records (via ConfigSnapshot) and documentation are actually being produced and kept current, not just promised<br />
	<li>Contribute to and maintain the wider knowledge management repository, and make sure lessons from incidents and releases get fed back into how the service runs<br />
</ul><br>
What you will bring<br>
Essential:<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Proven experience running service delivery for a live, business-critical enterprise system, ideally Oracle Cloud (Fusion) or a comparable ERP/HCM/EPM platform<br />
	<li>Solid grounding in ITIL-based incident, problem and change management, and the judgement to know when to escalate and when to let a process run<br />
	<li>Experience managing SLAs, service reporting and stakeholder relationships at a senior level, including with product owners and business leads<br />
	<li>The ability to understand and prioritise technical/functional work you don't personally deliver, by working closely with functional consultants and challenging their assessments constructively<br />
	<li>Experience planning and managing shift or rota-based support cover, including out of hours arrangements<br />
	<li>Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn technical detail into something a non-technical stakeholder can act on<br />
</ul><br />
Useful but not essential:<br>
<ul><br />
	<li>Working knowledge of Oracle Fusion functional areas: HCM/payroll, ERP financials, or EPM<br />
	<li>Experience of Oracle's quarterly release cycle and the change management it demands<br />
	<li>ServiceNow, Jira, or equivalent service and delivery tooling<br />
	<li>Understanding of Fusion security concepts (roles, data access, segregation of duties) and how they affect licensing and cost<br />
	<li>Experience delivering in a blended agile and traditional environment<br />
	<li>Public sector service delivery experience, particularly in a shared services context<br />
</ul><br />
Practical points, read before applying:<br>
<ul><br />
	<li>Support cover runs 06:00 to 22:00, Monday to Friday, on a rota. You will be managing this rota, and may take a share of it yourself.<br />
	<li>There is an out of hours on-call rota for serious incidents, which you will help manage and may participate in.<br />
	<li>All work on the system happens from within the UK. Certain sensitive tasks are done from the office rather than from home.<br />
</ul><br>
An active DV clearance is required for this role. At a minimum, candidates must be eligible and willing to undergo security clearance. Due to the short-term nature of the contract and the urgency of the requirement, the client may prioritise applicants who already hold active DV clearance and meet all essential criteria.<br />

 <br>
A <strong>government </strong>client is looking for an <strong>Oracle Cloud Engineer</strong> to join them on a <strong>6 month contract</strong>. This position will be based in <strong>Milton Keynes/ Hybrid.</strong><br />
 <br>
<strong>Job Summary:</strong><br>
We run one of the largest Oracle Cloud shared services in UK government: HR, payroll and finance for around 25,000 people in the UK and overseas. Under the applications sits an OCI estate of production and non-production environments, and this role owns keeping that estate healthy, current, recoverable and affordable. Builds are scripted, restores are rehearsed, patching runs to a clock, and there is a live piece of work to reduce the number of environments we pay for. This role also carries the highest level of administrative access to the platform. Engineers here hold privileged administration as a named custodian duty: every action logged, every request checked, every shortcut declined. If you have been the person trusted with root in a serious environment, you know exactly what that involves.<br>
What You Will Actually Do<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Provision, refresh and decommission environments across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS as the service needs them<br />
	<li>Run production-to-test cloning and the post-clone work that follows, including data masking, so test environments are safe as well as useful<br />
	<li>Plan the environment estate around the quarterly Oracle release cycle and publish that plan so nobody is surprised<br />
	<li>Maintain existing Terraform and write new Terraform, so infrastructure gets built the same way every time<br />
	<li>Own backup and restore: full, incremental and snapshot, tested back to a consistent known-good state, not just assumed to work<br />
	<li>Own disaster recovery for the platform layers: replication to the recovery site, a recovery plan that is current, and at least one proper test of it a year<br />
	<li>Run the vulnerability management cycle with our scanning tooling, and remediate to fixed timescales, with critical fixes measured in days not months<br />
	<li>Apply monthly vendor patches and firmware updates across the estate<br />
	<li>Automate start-up, shutdown and routine operations, and keep an eye on capacity so problems are raised before users notice them<br />
	<li>Help redesign the environment estate to support a better development lifecycle at a lower cost.<br />
	<li>Share the privileged administration custodian duty: fulfil the small number of access requests that only top-level administration can action, and put bulk access changes through the formal change process rather than on the side<br />
	<li>Operate the break-glass process that governs any vendor back-end access: named individuals, stated purpose, fixed time window, nothing open-ended<br />
	<li>Keep the access records straight: an accurate environments tracker, evidence for the monthly access audit, and maintained standard operating procedures for system administration<br />
</ul><br>
What You Will Bring<br>
Essential<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Strong hands-on OCI experience: compute, storage, networking, IAM and compartment design, including firewall and routing configuration<br />
	<li>Terraform in production use, not just a lab<br />
	<li>Linux administration and comfortable scripting<br />
	<li>Real backup, restore and disaster recovery experience, including having actually run a recovery test<br />
	<li>Experience running vulnerability scanning and remediation cycles in a managed environment<br />
	<li>Familiarity with bastion or jump host access patterns and privileged access management tooling, because the custodian duty runs through them<br />
	<li>DV clearance<br />
</ul><br>
Useful but Not Essential<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Oracle database familiarity (ATP, ADW or DBCS)<br />
	<li>Exposure to Tenable and Splunk<br />
	<li>Data masking or test data management<br />
	<li>Experience supporting an Oracle SaaS or ERP estate from the platform side<br />
	<li>Government or other high-assurance environments<br />
</ul><br>
Practical Points Read Before Applying<br />
Core support hours run 06:00 to 22:00, Monday to Friday, covered on a rota, plus an out-of-hours on-call rota for serious platform incidents.<br />
All work on the system happens from within the UK. Bulk data work, live environment changes and privileged administration are done from the office, and privileged access stays within core hours unless an exception is agreed in advance.<br>
An active DV clearance is required for this role. At a minimum, candidates must be eligible and willing to undergo security clearance. Due to the short-term nature of the contract and the urgency of the requirement, the client may prioritise applicants who already hold active DV clearance and meet all essential criteria.<br />
