About Amber Labs

Amber Labs is an established UK technology consultancy helping organisations modernise through cloud, engineering, data, AI and user-centred design. We partner with government departments, enterprise organisations and highly regulated industries to deliver secure, scalable digital services that make a real impact.

As our portfolio continues to grow, we’re looking for an experienced Hub Reporting Manager to join our team and support a major, complex Oracle Cloud transformation programme.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of reporting for a large-scale shared service environment, helping to define how a central reporting capability will operate at significant scale.

The Opportunity

As Hub Reporting Manager, you’ll own the vision and assurance for a future central reporting service supporting a large and complex organisation.

This is a senior role requiring a rare combination of Oracle Cloud and reporting expertise, strategic thinking, technical credibility and strong stakeholder leadership
.

You’ll work at the intersection of business, technology and delivery, helping to define what the future reporting service should look like and ensuring the solutions delivered are scalable, sustainable, secure and fit for purpose.

While a Systems Integrator will be responsible for delivering the underlying technology, you will provide technical and strategic leadership from the assurance side. You’ll need sufficient Oracle Cloud and reporting expertise to challenge architects and technical specialists, assess proposed approaches and clearly explain technical decisions and their implications to senior stakeholders.

This is not primarily a hands-on development or data migration role. We’re looking for someone who can step back from implementation detail and answer bigger questions such as:

• What should the future reporting service look like?
• What should be standardised and what should remain flexible?
• How can reporting be delivered efficiently at scale?
• How can users self-serve without creating unnecessary complexity and technical debt?
• What people, processes and capabilities are needed to operate the service successfully?

What You’ll Be Doing

• Define and articulate the vision for a scalable, sustainable and high-performing central reporting service.
• Shape the future reporting strategy, operating model and roadmap.
• Establish clear principles around standardisation, reuse, rationalisation and reporting governance.
• Define what the central service will provide and where local or specialist reporting requirements may remain necessary.
• Develop a credible strategy covering service design, resources, timelines and the future evolution of the reporting capability.
• Ensure the reporting service is designed with scalability, security, performance, supportability and long-term sustainability in mind.

Oracle Cloud & Technical Assurance

• Provide strong technical assurance across Oracle Cloud reporting solutions and architecture.
• Use your understanding of Oracle Cloud, Oracle ERP reporting and reporting architecture to challenge proposed technical approaches.
• Assess whether solutions are practical, scalable and appropriate for a complex enterprise environment.
• Understand the capabilities and limitations of Oracle reporting technologies and translate reporting requirements into informed technical decisions.
• Engage confidently with architects, technical specialists and Systems Integrator teams.
• Oracle FDI experience is highly desirable, with the ability to understand how it supports reporting and analytics within an Oracle Cloud environment.

Service Design & Reporting Governance

• Define how users’ access and request reporting services.
• Establish approaches to reporting governance, ownership, maintenance and lifecycle management.
• Help shape self-service reporting capabilities, standard and reusable reports, report catalogues and approval…
