• Partner with Global Physical Security, IT, data center, and cloud infrastructure design teams to ensure seamless WIDS and monitoring technology integration with evolving environments
• Serve as the bridge between engineering, vendors, security operations, installers, and business leaders to ensure WIDS solutions are technically robust, adaptive, cost-effective, and future-ready
• Maintain a vendor management strategy to evaluate and select WIDS, wireless analytics, and supporting platforms, integrating with Oracle’s procurement and supply chain processes
• Coordinate with strategic sourcing to ensure that systems are planned and delivered at the appropriate stage of projects
• Monitor advancements in wireless intrusion detection, analytics, spectrum monitoring, and counter-surveillance technologies—validating emerging solutions via GPS test labs
• Integrate Wireless Intrusion Detection systems into existing workflows, process and the intentional physical security software ecosystem
• Provide subject matter input on technical due diligence for new vendor or product selection and drive proof-of-concept engagements for next-generation WIDS and counter-surveillance solutions

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Security, or relevant technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 7+ years of technical program or product management experience in physical security, wireless networking, cloud infrastructure, or industrial security, with direct experience deploying or managing WIDS and/or counter-surveillance technologies at scale
• In-depth knowledge of WIDS platforms (such as Bastille, AirMagnet, or similar), spectrum analysis, wireless threat analytics, and chain-of-custody requirements for technical security investigations
• Proven ability to document and communicate standards, create technical policies, and develop process improvement plans in a global enterprise context
• Excellent oral/written communication and presentation skills; proven success in delivering technical education and enablement across mixed-skill audiences
• Strong project management skills; ability to balance technical depth with strategic objectives and drive multi-site, multi-team initiatives to successful outcomes
• Collaborative mindset—success working with engineering, security, business stakeholders, external integrators, and cross-regional teams
