Job Description:

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.
Grant Thornton’s Business Consulting group consists of Enterprise Applications, Technology, Finance, Operations, Deals and People focus areas. The Enterprise Applications (EA) Practice is responsible for advisory and project implementation services related to Oracle Cloud Applications and Technology, particularly with regard to ERP and HCM solutions.
We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.
A look into the role

As Head of Delivery Director within our EA practice, you will:

• Provide project leadership and oversight to a portfolio of EA Oracle Cloud implementation projects. Leading a team of Project Directors and Managers, you will be responsible for the success of the project portfolio from both a Grant Thornton commercial and quality perspective, and from the perspective of customer satisfaction and customer references.
• Act as advisor both to Grant Thornton teams and directly to customers, using your knowledge of Oracle Cloud projects and similar engagements to mitigate risks and resolve issues.
• Contribute as part of the EA management team; specifically, you will contribute to EA sales activity both as a member of bid teams demonstrating your delivery and quality expertise, and in a bid and contract review capacity.
• Perform specific customer delivery roles when needed as an established leader for Oracle Cloud solutions. Your knowledge will be visible to customers, respected internally within the EA and Business Consulting teams and known within Oracle UK’s sales and solution consulting teams.
• Promote strong working relationships and team spirit with both Grant Thornton colleagues and customer project teams.

Knowing you’re right for us
Joining us as EA Head of Delivery Director, the minimum criteria you’ll need is a 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent), and multiple years’ experience in similar Consulting/Project delivery roles in which you will have overseen multiple successful complete Oracle Cloud ERP implementations. Your experience prior to undertaking similar roles will likely be as an Oracle Project Director and/or Project Manager, with a track record of successful project/programme delivery in the UK and ideally, internationally.

It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way:

• Experience in the implementation of Oracle Cloud applications, ERP or HCM.
• Experience of building lasting relationships with C Level and Senior Solution stakeholders.
• Excellent verbal and written communications – and a demonstrable track record of being able to use those skills in sales situations and to build and maintain excellent executive relationships.
• Quality Management experience, either in a Professional Service environment, or in the implementation/management of quality standards to support applications software development and implementation

While much of our project work is conducted in a hybrid manner, willingness to travel to work on customer sites as needed, mostly in UK, but globally by exception, is important.

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.
The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job.
