The primary responsibility of the IT Business Partner is to serve as the central relationship owner between Talos Corporate teams (Finance, Accounting, Land, and HR), Production Operations teams, and the IT organization. This role translates business and operational objectives into clear technology demand, shapes and prioritizes a value-based roadmap with business leadership, and ensures delivery teams understand the business context, constraints, and measures of success.
The IT Business Partner drives end-to-end intake through value realization by coordinating stakeholders, clarifying requirements, aligning scope and funding, and communicating status, risks, and decisions. In addition, the IT Business Partner serves as the front door for Corporate and Production Operations-facing IT issues by triaging incidents and service disruptions, confirming business impact and urgency, and coordinating day-to‑day incident and problem management through the broader IT support organization to drive timely resolution and root‑cause follow‑up.
The position is accountable for improving the day‑to‑day experience of Corporate and Production Operations partners through pragmatic process, data, and digital solutions while maintaining alignment with Talos IT standards, cybersecurity requirements, and portfolio governance.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own the day‑to‑day relationships with Corporate (Finance, Accounting, Land, and HR) and Production Operations leaders, serving as the primary IT point of contact for their technology, data, reporting, and digital needs.
- Lead structured demand intake and discovery (problem framing, current‑state understanding, constraints, and desired outcomes) across Corporate and Production Operations functions.
- Translate Corporate and operational priorities into a clear, value‑based technology roadmap in partnership with IT product, delivery, data, and infrastructure teams.
- Facilitate cross‑functional alignment across Corporate teams, Production Operations, and IT on scope, sequencing, dependencies, and decision rights.
- Define business requirements and acceptance criteria, ensuring solutions are usable in field and office contexts and aligned to operational workflows.
- Drive adoption and change management for delivered capabilities, including stakeholder communications, training coordination, and feedback loops for continuous improvement.
- Advise Production Operations leaders and end users on practical AI and reporting use cases; develop, prioritize, and guide adoption of Copilot and Power BI solutions that improve decisions, efficiency, and operational outcomes.
- Partner with IT portfolio governance to size and sequence demand, support business case development, and align funding to expected value and Production Operations outcomes.
- Coordinate with cybersecurity, OT security, and compliance stakeholders to ensure solutions meet Talos standards and risk expectations.
- Identify process and data opportunities that improve operational performance (safety, reliability, uptime, cost) and translate them into actionable initiatives.
- Track delivery health and partner satisfaction, escalating risks, scope changes, and trade‑offs with clear options and recommendations.
- Establish and monitor outcomes and KPIs for Production Operations‑facing initiatives and ensure benefits realization is measured and communicated after go‑live.
- Maintain a strong understanding of Production Operations systems and data (production operations, facilities, maintenance, work management, reporting) to guide solution design discussions.
- Triage Production Operations‑facing IT issues (break/fix, performance, access, data, and application incidents), confirm business impact and urgency, and ensure accurate logging, prioritization, and routing to the appropriate IT support teams.
- Coordinate day‑to‑day incident and problem management for Production Operations, including driving updates, facilitating handoffs across IT teams…
