Job description

About the Role

NOV is creating this new strategic position to strengthen our direct engagement with selected European oil & gas operators. While our commercial teams work closely with drilling contractors, this role focuses on building long-term relationships with the operators who ultimately influence technology selection and investment decisions.

As Business & Technology Development Manager, you will become NOV's primary commercial and technology representative for selected operator accounts. Your focus will be understanding customer strategies, identifying emerging challenges, and connecting operators with the right expertise and technologies from across NOV's extensive portfolio.

Success in this role requires the ability to combine technical understanding with commercial insight, building trusted relationships that create long-term business opportunities rather than transactional sales.

Why This Role Matters

This is a highly visible role with significant influence across NOV's European business. You will help shape how customers engage with NOV, strengthen strategic partnerships, and support the successful commercialization of technologies that improve safety, efficiency, and operational performance across the drilling value chain.

About NOV

NOV is a global provider of technology, equipment, systems, and services supporting drilling, completion, production, industrial, marine, and energy operations worldwide. Through engineering excellence and a broad portfolio of innovative solutions, NOV helps customers improve safety, reliability, efficiency, and operational performance across the energy industry.

Why Join NOV

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Build a completely new strategic function within NOV Europe.
• Represent one of the industry's broadest technology portfolios.
• Work directly with major European operators and influence future technology adoption.
• Collaborate with technical experts and commercial teams across multiple business units.
• Develop long-term customer partnerships that drive sustainable business growth.
• Join a global organization where innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence are at the heart of everything we do.
