What you can expect

• Act as the primary point of contact for the customer from contract handover through implementation, value validation, and expansion/renewal, building trusted relationships with subsurface, production, digital, and operations stakeholders.

• Coordinate cross-functional delivery teams (reservoir engineers, data scientists, field/instrumentation specialists, software engineers) to keep workstreams aligned and on schedule.
• Own project governance: risk and issue management, change control, status reporting, and steering committee updates for both the customer and internal leadership.
• Track and report on technical and commercial KPIs to demonstrate value delivered and support performance-based contract terms.
• Manage on-site data-sharing and execution commitments with the operator, ensuring timely access, validation support, and implementation of recommended actions.
• Identify scope changes, upsell, and expansion opportunities within existing accounts and feed them back to sales and account management.
• Provide structured field and customer feedback (technical performance, operational constraints, competitive intelligence).

What you bring

• Degree in Petroleum Engineering or a closely related discipline; an advanced degree (MSc/PhD or PMP/project management certification) is a plus.
• 7+ years of experience in the upstream oil and gas industry, including meaningful exposure to production optimization, reservoir management, or field development.
• Proven track record managing complex, technical, customer-facing projects — ideally involving digital oilfield, real-time monitoring, or data-driven optimization solutions.
• Solid understanding of production systems, artificial lift, injection strategies, and reservoir management, with the ability to engage credibly with subsurface and production engineers.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to operate confidently from field engineering teams up to VP, and to manage tri-partite arrangements involving customers and subcontractors.
• Excellent organizational skills: budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and reporting discipline across multiple concurrent projects.
• Willingness to travel internationally to customer sites, including in EU, Middle East, and Asia Pacific regions.
• Fluency in English; additional languages are an advantage.
• Reports to the Business Area Manager Upstream Optimization, with close coordination with sales, product, and technical leadership.
