Job Description
Oracle Health is seeking a Principal Security Risk Leader to define, scale, and operationalize a unified cyber security risk management capability specifically for Oracle Health and Global Industries. This is a senior individual contributor role operating at the intersection of cybersecurity, product development, regulatory compliance, and business strategy.
This leader will act as a trusted advisor to the CISO of Oracle Health and Industries, ensuring that security risk is consistently understood, measured, and managed in alignment with respective business priorities. The role is responsible for establishing a cohesive risk management approach that spans relevant aspects of cyber security risk, enabling clear prioritization, informed decision-making, and measurable risk reduction across a highly federated and complex environment.
This person will work across organizational boundaries without direct authority, influencing LOB leaders in engineering, product, legal, compliance, and commercial teams to adopt consistent and scalable risk practices. This role requires strong executive presence, deep technical and regulatory expertise, and the ability to translate complex risk into actionable business decisions.
Responsibilities
Industry Risk Strategy & Alignment
Define and drive a unified security risk management strategy across Oracle Health and GIUs
Establish a consistent risk framework that integrates product, third-party, and operational risk domains
Develop risk taxonomies, scoring models, and prioritization approaches that support enterprise decision-making
Align risk management practices to business priorities, cloud migration efforts, and product delivery models
Program Leadership & Transformation
Lead the maturation of core risk programs, including product security risk assessments, industry specific third-party risk, and customer/regulatory risk response
Design scalable, repeatable processes that improve risk visibility, accountability, and remediation timelines
Introduce data-driven approaches to risk quantification, tracking, and reporting
Drive consistency in how risk is identified, assessed, and managed across a federated organization
Executive Advisory & Stakeholder Engagement
Serve as a trusted advisor to the CISO and senior leadership on risk posture, tradeoffs, and emerging threats
Translate complex technical risks into clear, business-aligned insights for executive audiences
Support high-stakes customer, regulatory, and audit engagements requiring deep security and risk expertise
Contribute to executive-level reporting on risk posture, trends, and systemic issues
Cross-Functional Influence & Integration
Lead cross-functional initiatives spanning product, engineering, legal, compliance, and commercial teams for the industries
Influence adoption of consistent risk management practices
Drive alignment across Oracle Health and Global Industry verticals in a federated operating model
Partner with engineering and product teams to embed risk-informed decision-making into development and deployment processes
Customer & Market Engagement
Support strategic customer engagements, RFPs, and regulatory discussions involving complex security requirements
Represent Oracle's security risk posture in discussions with customers, auditors, and regulators
Help differentiate Oracle Health in regulated markets through credible and mature risk management practices
Candidate Profile:
10-15+ years of experience in cybersecurity, risk management, or related domains, preferably in large, complex, and regulated environments
Deep expertise in security risk frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, COBIT, etc.) and experience applying them in practice
Strong understanding of healthcare and regulated industry requirements (e.g., HIPAA, federal or global regulatory environments)
Proven ability to operate as a senior individual contributor influencing executive stakeholders without direct authority
Experience leading or transforming enterprise-scale risk management or security programs
Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into business impact and action
Experience with product security, cloud environments, and third-party risk management strongly preferred
Why This Role Matters:
Oracle Health operates in one of the most highly regulated and risk-sensitive environments in the world, but it is part of a broader portfolio of Global Industry Units including retail, hospitality, financial services, utilities, etc. that support mission-critical systems with significant financial, operational, and reputational risk. While these industries face varying levels of regulatory scrutiny, the expectation for strong, defensible security practices is converging across all of them.
Today, effective, security risk management is inconsistently defined and executed across these environments, limiting Oracle's ability to compare risks, prioritize investments, and demonstrate a cohesive security posture to customers, regulators, and executive leadership. This fragmentation creates gaps in accountability and increases the likelihood of systemic risk going unidentified or unaddressed.
This role is critical to establishing a unified, industries specific approach to security risk management that enables comparability across business units, enforces clear ownership, and strengthens governance without disrupting the autonomy of individual industries. By standardizing how risk is measured, assessed, and reported, this leader will enable leadership to make informed, risk-based tradeoff decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and defend Oracle's security posture in customer and regulatory engagements.
Ultimately, this role shifts risk management from a fragmented, compliance-driven activity to a strategic capability that drives transparency, enables measurable risk reduction, and positions Oracle to scale securely across healthcare and global industries.
