Are you excited by challenges? Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced, international and dynamic environment? Now is the time to join Quorum Software, a rapidly growing company and industry leader in oil & gas transformation.

From emerging companies to supermajors, throughout every region of the globe, customers rely on Quorum's proven innovation and unmatched global expertise to streamline business operations and make data-driven decisions that optimize profitability and growth. Our industry-leading solutions are transforming energy companies across the entire value chain, helping visionary leaders evolve their organizations into modern energy companies.

Overview

Quorum is looking for a Vice President, Global Business Applications, to join our executive leadership team. This position reports directly to the CIO & Senior Vice President, Information Technology, and serves as a key technology executive responsible for the full lifecycle of enterprise applications and the enterprise data and analytics platform across the organization. The VP will own the global applications vision, strategy, and execution, ensuring that Quorum's technology ecosystem scales in lockstep with its rapid growth agenda.

This is a hands-on executive role. The ideal candidate leads from the front, equally comfortable setting strategy in the boardroom and rolling up their sleeves to work directly alongside architects, developers, and functional teams to solve complex problems. We are not looking for a purely people-managing executive; we need a leader who remains deeply engaged in the technical and functional details of the platforms and programs they own.

Ideal candidates are seasoned technology executives with a proven track record of leading large-scale, multi-platform enterprise application portfolios, including Oracle NetSuite and Salesforce.com, across complex, global organizations. This leader will bring a blend of strategic vision, executive presence, and deep technical fluency to drive transformational outcomes across the business.
