Associate Oracle Specialist – 2027

Introduction

A career in IBM Consulting is built on long-term client relationships and close collaboration worldwide. You'll work with leading companies across industries, helping them shape their hybrid cloud and AI journeys. With support from our strategic partners, robust IBM technology, and Red Hat, you'll have the tools to drive meaningful change and accelerate client impact. At IBM Consulting, curiosity fuels success. You'll be encouraged to challenge the norm, explore new ideas, and create innovative solutions that deliver real results. Our culture of growth and empathy focuses on your long-term career development while valuing your unique skills and experiences.

Your role and responsibilities

As an Associate Oracle Specialist at IBM, you'll help organizations improve business performance, streamline operations, and accelerate business transformation through Oracle enterprise applications and technology-enabled solutions.

This is a business-focused opportunity, not a software development role. You'll learn how organizations operate, understand their business challenges, and help implement and improve the enterprise applications that support their people, processes, and performance. Prior Oracle or programming experience is not required.

As part of this opportunity, you will be aligned to one of the following functional areas based on business needs and your skills and interests:

Oracle Finance - focused on helping organizations modernize financial operations through Oracle enterprise applications that support accounting, financial planning, reporting, budgeting, financial controls, and business performance management.

Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) - focused on helping organizations modernize human resources and workforce operations through Oracle enterprise applications that support core HR, talent management, recruiting, compensation, learning, workforce planning, and employee experiences.

No two projects are exactly alike; you could support clients across industries including healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, energy, government, and more.

Work side by side with experienced consultants, functional specialists, business professionals, and technology experts to solve real business challenges. We're not looking for experts; we hire for potential, curiosity, and a passion for learning. Through mentorship, certifications, structured learning, AI-enabled consulting, and hands-on client experiences, you'll develop the skills needed to grow your career in business and enterprise technology.

Depending on your project assignment, you may have opportunities to:

• Analyze business processes and identify opportunities to improve financial operations, workforce management, operational efficiency, and business performance.

• Support business requirements gathering, process documentation, and mapping current-state and future-state business processes.

• Assist with functional configuration, testing, implementation, and ongoing support of Oracle enterprise applications.

• Participate in client workshops, stakeholder discussions, and business transformation initiatives.

• Analyze financial, workforce, or operational data to support business decisions and process improvement.

• Explore how Artificial Intelligence, automation, and emerging technologies can improve business workflows, employee experiences, and operational efficiency.

• Collaborate with functional and technical teams to support enterprise solutions that address real client business challenges.

You don't need to be an expert to get started. We're looking for individuals with a strong foundation, a growth mindset, and a desire to learn and make an impact.

Bring your curiosity. Grow your skills. Build what's next — like an IBMer.
