      Sep 2017 - Sep 2020 · 3 yrs 1 mo

      Oracle is a computer technology corporation best known for its software products and services like Java. Through the company's four main business segments—cloud and license, hardware, and services—Oracle sells its cloud-engineering services and systems and database management systems. During my time as an Internal Talent Advisor my sole role was to engage with employees who were interested in experiencing another line of business at Oracle or were looking to take their career to the next level. Whether it be promotion or being able to engage in another part of their existing business. I was not only a company advocate for retaining incredible talent but also an advocate and voice for the employees that embodied the true culture of Oracle. This included building training programs for employees and their managers as well as piloting different programs to ensure each area of the business was tailored with their business needs as top priority. I was able to successfully place over 80 employees internally into new positions and help promote 15 employees into senior leadership positions. Roles of focus: sales engineer, account management, business analysts, GTM leadership, and customer experience and success.
