Product Manager

Job Purpose:

Lead the definition, development, and execution of the Well Construction Platform digital vision, establishing a unified digital ecosystem that connects engineering, planning, operational execution, and performance insights across the well construction lifecycle. This role is responsible for driving a platform-led transformation that improves Service Efficiency, reduces Non-Productive Time (NPT), lowers operational risk, and enables repeatable performance across global drilling campaigns. Transform the organization from product-line-centric software development to a platform-led operating model by creating a shared digital foundation that serves Drilling Services (DS), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Wireline (WL), TRS, Drilling Fluids (DF), and future well construction technologies.

The platform will create a continuous digital thread linking planning, engineering, execution, analytics, and optimization while establishing the foundational capabilities required for remote operations and future autonomous well construction.

Responsibilities:

Platform Strategy & Vision

Define and maintain the long-term Well Construction Platform digital roadmap.

Establish a common platform architecture that addresses 70-80% of shared business requirements across product lines.

Drive alignment between business objectives, technology investments, and operational outcomes.

Develop business cases demonstrating value through service efficiency, risk reduction, operational consistency, and increased automation.

Product Portfolio Transformation

Evaluate existing DS, MPD, WL, and related digital products for strategic fit, overlap, and platform alignment.

Lead portfolio rationalization efforts to reduce duplication and maximize reuse of common capabilities.

Champion workflow-centric development approaches over standalone application development.

Establish governance processes for platform adoption and product-line extensions.

Digital Foundation Development

Lead the development of core platform capabilities including:

Unified real-time and historical data ingestion

Common well construction data model

Master data management for wells, assets, customers, and users

Analytics and reporting services

AI/ML enablement framework

Event management and alarm systems

Integration and API services

Security, compliance, and data governance frameworks

Engineering Digitization

Drive digitization and standardization of engineering workflows such as:

Offset well analysis
Risk identification and mitigation
Hydraulics modeling
Mechanical engineering workflows
BHA design and optimization
Well trajectory planning
Engineering collaboration and review processes

Stakeholder Leadership

Act as the executive liaison between Product Lines, Engineering, Operations, Digital Technology, and Commercial organizations.

Influence senior leadership on investment priorities and strategic direction.

Build alignment across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities.

Communicate platform value, adoption plans, and business outcomes.

Technology Expectations

Percentage of common capabilities reused across product lines

Data quality and accessibility improvements

System integration coverage

AI/analytics utilization rates

Platform reliability and scalability metrics

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Geoscience, or related technical field; MBA or relevant business certification preferred.
5+ years of experience in product management within oilfield services or industrial environments, with demonstrated ownership of products that integrate hardware, field operations, and digital capabilities.
Direct experience with multiple OFS product lines
Demonstrated ability to translate technical capabilities into commercial value.
Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
Experience with wireline telemetry, real-time data systems (e.g., Warrior, Wellsite), or log interpretation platforms is a plus
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Strong leadership and communication skills to work across teams and with customers.
Demonstrated experience translating operational challenges into structured, scalable workflows or digital frameworks within complex service environments.
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States

Skills:

Working knowledge of energy data standards (e.g., WITSML) and system integration principles, with the ability to evaluate practical implementation impact on field operations.
Practical understanding of applying analytics or automation within operational workflows where data quality, context integrity, and decision defensibility are critical.
Familiarity with platforms like Techlog, Spotfire, Petrel, or cloud-based analytics portals.
Field experience with Wireline or Slickline operations is a strong advantage.
Experience with Agile development methodologies.
Proficiency in product management tools (e.g., Jira, Aha!, Trello).
Understanding of financial modelling and business case development.
Ability to assess digital initiatives critically and prioritize based on operational impact, execution feasibility, and commercial value.
Comfortable operating in environments where processes may be loosely defined and capable of driving clarity, structure, and alignment without excessive rigidity.
