#LI-OnsiteAt a Glance: We are seeking a strategic Senior Manager, Data Engineering to own the strategy, delivery, and governance of our enterprise data platforms. This leader sets the direction for data warehouse, data lake, and lakehouse architecture, leads data engineering managers and teams across multiple locations, and partners with executive and business leaders to turn data into a trusted, reusable asset that powers business intelligence, operational reporting, and AI and machine learning across the organization.
What you will do: - Deliver a scalable and easily accessible data repository to power AI models, tools, and products.
- Surface data to AI through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, APIs, and other methods so AI tools can consume it natively and in the timeframe initiatives need.
- Establish these data models as the source of truth, in close alignment with Digital Operations and Digital Drilling Solutions.
- Define the scope of data, including type and age, required to surface and effectively build models, and ensure AI initiatives have the required data when they need it.
- Own and execute the enterprise data engineering strategy and multi-year roadmap, aligned to business and functional unit and IT priorities.
- Lead and develop a multi-team organization of data engineering managers, leads, ETL and BI developers, and data architects; build bench strength, skills, and succession across locations.
- Set architecture direction and standards for enterprise data lake, lakehouse, data warehouse, and cloud analytics platforms, and govern their adoption.
- Own the data platform investment: budget, capacity, and the vendor and managed-service-provider relationships that support it, partnering with Supply Chain, who executes negotiations.
- Establish and run enterprise data governance, quality, security, and master data management as a sustained program, not a one-time project.
- Deliver capabilities for trusted business intelligence, KPI dashboards, and self-service reporting on top of the enterprise data foundation.
- Lead major modernization and migration initiatives from legacy platforms to modern cloud ecosystems, and integrate ERP data (Oracle EBS, SAP, and others) into the analytics estate.
- Partner with executive and business stakeholders across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and IT to prioritize demand, set service levels, and measure the value delivered.
