The ideal candidate will operate within the Energy, Oil & Gas, and Biofuels sector, navigating the complexities of a highly regulated industry while driving digital transformation and product excellence. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, protect delivery timelines, and manage a diverse group of stakeholders across multiple time zones.
Core Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary intake point for new business ideas, performing rapid analysis to clarify ambiguous requirements into actionable user stories.
- Act as a ‘challenger’ within the product team, using data-driven rationale to push back on scope creep and ensure every feature adds measurable value.
- Lead backlog grooming and refinement sessions, ensuring that the development team has a clear, prioritized roadmap.
- Partner with the Lead Product Manager to evaluate trade-offs between immediate ‘quick-fix’ solutions and long-term scalable architecture.
- Manage delivery governance across both Agile (Scrum) and Waterfall methodologies, adapting the approach to the specific needs of the project.
- Facilitate high-level discussions between business units, IT, architecture, and external vendors to resolve conflicts and align on delivery goals.
- Ensure all solutions comply with enterprise architecture standards and stringent regulatory requirements inherent in the Energy sector.
- Identify and mitigate delivery risks early, providing transparent reporting to executive leadership.
Professional Requirements
- 15+ years of professional experience in Business Analysis, Product Management, or a hybrid BA/PM role.
- Deep domain expertise in the Energy, Oil & Gas, or Biofuels industry is mandatory.
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders without direct authority in a large, complex enterprise environment.
- Expertise in tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, and Microsoft Project.
- Strong understanding of compliance-driven environments and the ability to support audits and governance reviews.
- Exceptional communication skills, capable of presenting complex technical trade-offs to non-technical executive audiences.
- Relevant certifications such as CBAP, CSM, or Lean Six Sigma are highly desirable.
