- A strong professional network within upstream oil and gas operators or the oilfield technology ecosystem
Responsibilities
- Lead the definition of integrated solutions for onshore production optimization, incorporating technical, digital, and organizational levers
- Translate field-level operational constraints into scalable solution designs that improve uptime, reduce LOE, and enable performance transparency
- Partner with client stakeholders across production, operations, and digital to validate use cases and shape transformation roadmaps
- Act as the solution architect during early stages of pursuits, defining MVP scope, partnering with technology providers, and articulating business value
