About This Role
This role will partner with technical subject matter experts, Operations,
Engineering, Commissioning, and other stakeholders to transform complex
technical information into structured curricula, qualification pathways,
assessments, instructor-led courses, digital learning, and performance-support
tools. Because the organization is in an early stage of development, this
position will have significant influence over how training standards, learning
processes, and workforce development programs are established and scale across
multiple data center campuses.

Success in this role will be demonstrated through:
Delivery of high-quality curricula aligned with operational and launch
milestones.
Consistent use of standardized learning materials across supported campuses.
Reduced time required to develop, review, and release priority training.
Improved learner readiness, first-pass assessment results, and
time-to-qualification.
Effective collaboration between Training, technical SMEs, and Operations.
Timely integration of lessons learned, equipment changes, and operational
requirements.
Development of scalable programs that strengthen internal technical
capability and help reduce long-term reliance on external vendors.
* Work Model
This role is part of a centralized Training Center of Excellence based in
Nashville, TN and supports multiple data center campuses. Periodic travel may
be required to conduct needs assessments, observe job performance, support
pilot delivery, collaborate with site stakeholders, and evaluate training
effectiveness.
* Opportunity and Impact
This is an opportunity to help build a technical training organization from
the ground up. The Instructional Designer will play a central role in
defining how Oracle develops, qualifies, and advances its critical facilities
workforce—creating learning programs that directly influence site readiness,
