Are you a digital transformation leader ready to architect the AI-driven future of the Energy sector?

This is not a standard process optimization role. We are looking for a Lead Value Partner to own customer success and drive high-stakes SaaS and AI adoption across top-tier O&G enterprise accounts. You will serve as the strategic bridge—translating complex business needs into technical strategy. As a trusted advisor to C-suite executives (COO, CFO, CTO), you will blend deep operational Oil & Gas DNA with elite management consulting and an AI-first mindset to realize maximum customer value.

• Value Architecture: Translate executive priorities into AI use cases (optimization, maintenance, decarbonization) and Value Realization Frameworks.
• Solution Blueprints: Architect scalable, end-to-end data flows to resolve complex operational bottlenecks (refinery, pipeline, reservoir).
• Financial Quantification: Build data-backed business cases driving $10M+ in CAPEX/OPEX savings.
• Executive Advisory: Deliver high-stakes value narratives to C-suite stakeholders and supermajor leadership to accelerate software pipelines.
• Process Transformation: Automate field-to-back-office workflows using Master Black Belt methodologies while ensuring regulatory compliance.
• Lifecycle Management: Own the end-to-end customer value journey from technical discovery and pilots through to QBRs.

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.

• 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).

• 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.

This role will be expected to spend the majority of their time in the field meeting with clients. Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
