Director​/Senior Director - Oil & Gas Technical IT Consulting

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a global consulting firm with over 10,000 entrepreneurial, action and results-oriented professionals in over 40 countries. We take a hands‑on approach to solving our clients' problems and assisting them in reaching their potential. Our culture celebrates independent thinkers and doers who positively impact our clients and shape our industry. The collaborative environment and engaging work guided by A&M's core values of integrity, quality, objectivity, fun, personal reward, and inclusive diversity are why our people love working at A&M.

A&M's Energy & Chemicals practice helps companies and investors improve performance, execute transactions, transform operations, and navigate moments when speed and certainty matter. We work across the oil and gas value chain - upstream, midstream, downstream, oilfield services, energy infrastructure, and adjacent industrial businesses - with private equity sponsors, corporate management teams, boards, and lenders. Our technology work is integrated with the economics and operating realities of the business.

We assess not only whether systems function, but also what they cost, which capabilities they enable, how they affect safe and reliable operations, what must be ready on day 1, and how to translate a recommendation into an executable plan.

A&M Energy is seeking an experienced technical IT consulting leader who can move fluently between the field, the data room, the technology organization, and the executive suite. This person will help oil and gas companies and investors make high‑stakes decisions, stabilize critical operations, separate or integrate complex technology environments, and convert technical findings into measurable business outcomes. The successful candidate combines the judgment of a management consultant with the practical instincts of an operator.

They are credible with CIOs, CFOs, operations leaders, deal teams, engineers, and functional owners; comfortable working from incomplete data; and willing to roll up their sleeves to build the model, examine the architecture, lead the workshop, and drive the workplan.

As a director or senior director, you will lead work at the intersection of oil and gas operations, transactions, finance, and technology. Depending on the engagement, you may own the full project, lead the IT/OT workstream within a broader team, or step into an interim leadership role to help a client deliver through a critical transition.

• Transaction diligence and value creation: assess technology risks and investment needs for acquisitions, divestitures, and restructurings.
• Carve‑outs, integrations, and standalone readiness: define day 1 and day 100 requirements and build separation, integration, and TSA‑exit roadmaps.
• IT cost and portfolio rationalization: baseline applications, infrastructure, and vendor contracts to identify savings and sequence execution.
• IT/OT and cybersecurity assessment: evaluate enterprise infrastructure and operational technology, including SCADA, DCS, PLCs, and cyber controls.
• Enterprise systems and process stabilization: diagnose gaps and risk in ERP and business‑process transitions, including SAP‑enabled processes and master data.
• Technology operating model and service delivery: redesign roles, governance, and sourcing to build an accountable, scalable technology function.
• Program leadership and interim management: stand up PMO/IMO governance and drive measurable outcomes under tight timelines.
• Data, analytics, automation, and AI‑enabled delivery: use structured data and responsible generative AI to accelerate diligence and strengthen deliverables.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead multiple work streams or end‑to‑end engagements for private equity and corporate clients across oil and gas…
