Who You Are: The Ideal Background
You are a strategic leader with 7-10 years of experience navigating unstructured enterprise problems. To be successful in this role, you must possess a hybrid background that bridges heavy industry and elite business strategy. We are looking for candidates who fit one of the following exact trajectories:
The O&G Operator turned Consultant: You began your career in the field, engineering, or operations at a supermajor, independent operator, or major oilfield services company, and subsequently pivoted into Management Consulting, Strategy, or SaaS Value Engineering.
The Consultant turned O&G Digital Strategist: You began your career at an MBB, Big 4, or elite tech consultancy, built a deep portfolio of quantified business cases in digital transformation, and subsequently specialized heavily within the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, or heavy industrial sectors.
The Non-Negotiables
Value-Led Consulting: Proven track record in consultative value-selling for enterprise SaaS digital transformations.
Next-Gen Tech Fluency: Functional understanding of Generative AI, process mining, and their intersection with enterprise ERPs (SAP/Oracle).
O&G Domain Expertise: Deep knowledge in 2+ areas across Drilling/Completions, Production Allocation, Asset Reliability, Supply Chain, or Refining Operations.
Back-Office & Compliance: Strong grasp of JV/Revenue Accounting, Field Service Management (FSM), and major regulatory frameworks (PHMSA, EPA, BSEE).
Education & Certifications
B.S. or M.S. in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or Business/Finance.
LSS Black Belt, Lean/Six Sigma, or Advanced Data Analytics certifications are a major plus.
Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
