About the role

Job Purpose: Lead the definition, development, and execution of the Well Construction Platform digital vision, establishing a unified digital ecosystem that connects engineering, planning, operational execution, and performance insights across the well construction lifecycle. This role is responsible for driving a platform-led transformation that improves Service Efficiency, reduces Non-Productive Time (NPT), lowers operational risk, and enables repeatable performance across global drilling campaigns. Transform the organization from product-line-centric software development to a platform-led operating model by creating a shared digital foundation that serves Drilling Services (DS), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Wireline (WL), TRS, Drilling Fluids (DF), and future well construction technologies. The platform will create a continuous digital thread linking planning, engineering, execution, analytics, and optimization while establishing the foundational capabilities required for remote operations and future autonomous well construction.   Responsibilities: Platform Strategy & Vision * Define and maintain the long-term Well Construction Platform digital roadmap.  * Establish a common platform architecture that addresses 70-80% of shared business requirements across product lines.  * Drive alignment between business objectives, technology investments, and operational outcomes.  * Develop business cases demonstrating value through service efficiency, risk reduction, operational consistency, and increased automation.   Product Portfolio Transformation * Evaluate existing DS, MPD, WL, and related digital products for strategic fit, overlap, and platform alignment.  * Lead portfolio rationalization efforts to reduce duplication and maximize reuse of common capabilities.  * Champion workflow-centric development approaches over standalone application development.  * Establish governance processes for platform adoption and product-line extensions.   Digital Foundation Development Lead the development of core platform capabilities including: * Unified real-time and historical data ingestion * Common well construction data model * Master data management for wells, assets, customers, and users * Analytics and reporting services * AI/ML enablement framework * Event management and alarm systems * Integration and API services * Security, compliance, and data governance frameworks   Engineering Digitization Drive digitization and standardization of engineering workflows such as: * Offset well analysis * Risk identification and mitigation * Hydraulics modeling * Mechanical engineering workflows * BHA design and optimization * Well trajectory planning * Engineering collaboration and review processes   Stakeholder Leadership * Act as the executive liaison between Product Lines, Engineering, Operations, Digital Technology, and Commercial organizations.  * Influence senior leadership on investment priorities and strategic direction.  * Build alignment across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities.  * Communicate platform value, adoption plans, and business outcomes.   Technology Expectations * Percentage of common capabilities reused across product lines  * Data quality and accessibility improvements  * System integration coverage  * AI/analytics utilization rates  * Platform reliability and scalability metrics   Qualifications: * Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Geoscience, or related technical field; MBA or relevant business certification preferred. * 5+ years of experience in product management within oilfield services or industrial environments, with demonstrated ownership of products that integrate hardware, field operations, and digital capabilities. * Direct experience with multiple OFS product lines  * Demonstrated ability to translate technical capabilities into commercial value. * Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills. * Experience with wireline telemetry, real-time data systems (e.g., Warrior, Wellsite), or log interpretation platforms is a plus * Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. * Strong leadership and communication skills to work across teams and with customers. * Demonstrated experience translating operational challenges into structured, scalable workflows or digital frameworks within complex service environments. * Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States    Skills: * Working knowledge of energy data standards (e.g., WITSML) and system integration principles, with the ability to evaluate practical implementation impact on field operations. * Practical understanding of applying analytics or automation within operational workflows where data quality, context integrity, and decision defensibility are critical. * Familiarity with platforms like Techlog, Spotfire, Petrel, or cloud-based analytics portals. * Field experience with Wireline or Slickline operations is a strong advantage. * Experience with Agile development methodologies. * Proficiency in product management tools (e.g., Jira, Aha!, Trello). * Understanding of financial modelling and business case development. * Ability to assess digital initiatives critically and prioritize based on operational impact, execution feasibility, and commercial value. * Comfortable operating in environments where processes may be loosely defined and capable of driving clarity, structure, and alignment without excessive rigidity.         #LI-AM1
