Senior Communications Strategist, Engineering
At Oracle, we’re building the technologies that are transforming how the world works-from AI and cloud infrastructure to healthcare, finance, and global enterprise systems. We’re looking for a strategic communications leader who can turn complex engineering innovation into compelling stories that resonate with customers, developers, executives, media, and employees alike.
As a Senior Communications Strategist supporting Engineering, you will partner closely with engineering leaders, product teams, marketing, and executive stakeholders to shape narratives that elevate Oracle’s technology leadership. This role blends storytelling, strategic messaging, editorial excellence, and integrated communications to drive clarity, engagement, and business impact.

This role reflects the type of strategic storytelling and technical narrative leadership emphasized across Oracle communications and content strategy roles.

- Create messaging frameworks, executive narratives, and storytelling strategies that align across internal and external channels.
- Partner with engineering executives and technical teams to identify innovation stories, customer impact, and thought leadership opportunities.
- Write and edit high-impact communications materials including blogs, executive talking points, keynote content, customer stories, presentations, social posts, white papers, FAQs, newsletters, and organizational updates.
- Drive editorial consistency and message alignment across product marketing, communications, analyst relations, social, and leadership communications teams.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product management, marketing, HR, and executive leadership to support launches, organizational initiatives, and strategic programs.
- Help shape Oracle’s voice in technical storytelling by bringing a human-centered, customer-focused perspective to engineering innovation.
- Manage communications plans, timelines, and stakeholder reviews across multiple concurrent initiatives.
- Measure communications effectiveness and continuously optimize messaging, engagement, and reach.
