Strategic End-of-Life Monetization Planner

Role Overview

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a strategic and execution-focused Planner to support OCI’s End-of-Life (EOL) Monetization program. This role will help maximize value recovery from excess, obsolete, and decommissioned hardware while ensuring secure, compliant, and efficient disposition of OCI assets.

This role will help maximize value recovery from excess, obsolete, and decommissioned hardware while ensuring secure, compliant, and efficient disposition of OCI assets.

Reporting into the Product Lifecycle and EOL Monetization organization, this IC4 role will work across Supply Chain, Data Center Operations, Engineering, Security, Finance, Logistics, Procurement, and external recovery partners. The successful candidate will turn asset, inventory, demand, and recovery data into actionable disposition plans for new/never-used excess parts, data-bearing consumables, and decommissioned rack components.

This individual will support OCI’s phased Hybrid EOL strategy: using qualified external partners for resale, logistics, and recycling while helping build OCI-controlled processes for high-value, high-risk activities such as data sanitization and component decommissioning. The role requires strong analytical judgment, supply-chain execution experience, and the ability to coordinate complex work across a global, matrixed environment.
