Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect

About the job you're considering

Oracle's transformation into a cloud business and their key differentiation as a provider of Enterprise grade public cloud is driving significant growth in the UK and European IT Services sector. Capgemini is proud to be the UK's leading partner for Oracle Cloud implementations, and we have strong demand for high quality consulting resources to respond to the opportunities being generated by this growth.

As the largest Independent Oracle Consulting Practice in the UK, Capgemini is at the forefront of delivering innovative solutions, and we understand that one of the keys to our success is the ability for our consultants to articulate the benefits, approach and strategies for Cloud adoption and evolution. We are looking for experienced and enthusiastic Cloud Infrastructure Architects who can help solve complex business and technical problems while guiding our customers on their journey to the Cloud.

We want to make sure that we find the right people to work in our teams, and we know that working full-time isn't necessarily right for everyone, so we'd love to hear from you if you feel you're a great fit for this role and would like to work flexibly. As an example, some of our team members work four days a week, but travel across the UK during their working days. If you are the right person for this role, we'll find the right working approach for you.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Additionally, the role may encompass supporting pre-sales activities and the generation of go-to-market strategies across our UK business.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.
