Role Summary
As Rowan's Business Development organization scales to support significantly increased deal volume, this role will help build the execution infrastructure behind that growth. BD-OS is a pillar within BD alongside Customer Development and Commercial Strategy & Negotiation focused on program management, CRM and customer planning systems, and cross-functional coordination across live deals and broader BD initiatives.
The Director will take Rowan's existing tools and processes and evolve them improving and, where needed, designing and standing up the systems, reporting, and operating rhythm that give BD and its stakeholders clear visibility into deal and customer status. This role also plays a central part in customer-facing planning and reporting: tracking account status, progress, next steps, and strategic plans across Rowan's key relationships.
Whether this role carries direct reports initially is still being finalized, but it is likely to grow a small team over time as the group's scope and volume increase.
