Job Summary Job Description The AI Gigascale Construction Cost Senior Manager (OCI) provides end-to-end cost leadership for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) gigascale construction programs, including hyperscale data center campuses and associated enabling infrastructure. This role blends rigorous cost management and project controls with scaled, time-to-market-focused delivery execution to improve forecast accuracy, accelerate executive decision-making, strengthen early risk detection, and deliver clear, auditable cost transparency across the full project lifecycle. You will support the cost controls function and team, establishing standardized processes, systems, and reporting that scale across multiple sites and workstreams. You will own the development and maintenance of estimates, budgets, forecasts, cash flow, contingency, and change control, partnering closely with Design & Construction, Procurement/Supply Chain, Finance, Scheduling/Project Controls, and Delivery leadership to drive predictable outcomes and disciplined cost governance. You will also champion the responsible use of AI and advanced analytics within Oracle construction and engineering productivity suite; creating repeatable models, dashboards, and insights that improve performance (e.g., variance detection, cost risk indicators, productivity signals, invoice/bid anomalies), while ensuring outputs are explainable, traceable, and aligned with enterprise data governance and compliance expectations.

Develop and govern dashboards (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) that integrate schedule, procurement, and cost data for predictive insights. Ensure AI outputs are explainable, auditable, and compliant with data governance and privacy requirements. Procurement & Market Intelligence Support procurement strategy through cost modeling, bid analysis, supplier benchmarking, and should-cost frameworks. Track material and labor indices; assess escalation exposure and recommend mitigation actions (buyouts, alternates, hedging where applicable). Coordinate with logistics and construction teams to quantify impacts from lead times, resequencing, and field productivity shifts. Stakeholder Leadership Serve as a trusted advisor to program l...
