Cloud computing is triggering a stunning shift in how businesses operate and at Oracle we are fortunate to be leading the change.

Think big and embrace modern selling with the largest and most comprehensive SaaS portfolio in the market

If you are looking to take the next step in your career by offering great effective, efficient, and commercially viable solutions to your clients, then one of our cloud sales roles could be your springboard to success.

In today’s economic environment, businesses are under extreme pressure to increase revenue and drive profitability, while decreasing costs, optimizing resource utilization and increasing corporate governance.

Companies need systems to improve the way they run their business: better productivity, better management of resources, bigger margins, better view of inventories, better control of costs, bigger revenues, better relationships with suppliers & customers, etc.

So if you want to engage in C level business discussions, be disruptive, be differentiated against your competition, work in a territory that is laden with opportunity, have the best Pre-Sales resources in the market, engage with Partners who have template solutions and you want to talk to business people about value and outcomes, then ERP / EPM and SPM offer all of the above.
