With our significant investment in technology and infrastructure, we strive to maximize the value of the energy we produce for the world along with a commitment to enhance Aramco's value to society.

Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with offices around the world, we combine market discipline with a generations' spanning view of the future, born of our nine decades experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom's vast hydrocarbon resources. This responsibility has driven us to deliver significant societal and economic benefits to not just the Kingdom, but also to a vast number of communities, economies, and countries that rely on the vital and reliable energy that we supply.

We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

Overview

We are seeking a R&D Portfolio Mapping and Value Creation Specialist to join our Technology Strategy & Planning Department (TS&PD).

TS&PD's mission is to provide high-impact leadership and support across the technology life-cycle, from strategy setting to value realization and sustainable growth, and partner with corporate and business stakeholders to integrate new technologies into the company's strategies and investment plans.

Your primary role focuses on technology portfolio review and optimization process by enabling optimal value realization through provision of accurate, timely, and detailed analysis of economic, financial, and commercial data regarding technology development, demonstration, and deployment opportunities. A key focus area for this role is to support the company-wide Technology Realized Value (TRV) KPI validation and reporting process in partnership with Upstream, Downstream, Finance & Technology Organizations. In particular, you will leverage project-level techno-economic assessments and related data to conduct deep-dive analysis of Aramco's technology development and demonstration projects (including collaborations with strategic partners) with the aim of presenting program and domain-level recommendations to management on the potential for the Company to meet its TRV KPI targets during the three-year business plan and TRV expectations over the 10-year investment plan. The TRV KPI, which is reported annually to Aramco's corporate management and the Board, measures the realized value from deployed Aramco technologies.

Key Responsibilities

As the successful candidate you will be required to perform the following:
  • Leverage project-level techno-economic assessments and related data to conduct deep-dive portfolio analysis with the aim of presenting program and domain-level TRV forecasts and recommendations to management on options to maximize value realization during the business plan and investment plan.
  • Develop R&D and technology portfolio realized value forecast in support of TRV KPI target-setting, measurement, validation and reporting.
  • Support strategic option analysis (e.g., make vs. buy, technology portfolio prioritization) via provision of cost-benefit assessments and analysis, as well as validation of economic and risk assumptions; present findings and recommendations based on analysis to senior management.
  • Create financial models and establish the value of technologies for potential commercial applications, in support of technology development, deployment and external licensing efforts.
  • Serve as an internal consultant for project teams on the development of business cases, deployment and value realization strategies, e.g. partnering with technical, commercial and business leads to implement commercial review process to maximize financial return and strategic impact from R&D.
  • Work closely with Aramco's R&D, technology/business organizations and strategic collaboration partners to assess priorities by providing standard project and portfolio-level technology valuation metrics.
  • Streamline the planning, execution and performance management of R&D and technology portfolios, with focus on maximizing value realization in order to meet corporate TRV KPI targets.
  • Provide expert guidance to project teams and management on related activities, including business case development, deployment plans, business models, value realization and related techno-economics.
  • Support financial reporting for deployed technologies to ensure value capture.

Minimum Requirements
  • As the successful candidate you will hold a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, Finance or a related Business Administration field. An advanced degree is preferred.
  • You will have a minimum of 10 years' experience in leading organizations, preferably in the oil and gas sector (with focus on downstream, midstream, sustainability and digitalization initiatives) including at least 5 years of experience in commercial technology development and value realization.
  • You must be experienced in conducting technology cost-benefit/effectiveness and budget impact analyses using mathematical, economic or statistical modelling tools and techniques, quantitative financial analysis, portfolio modelling and technology valuation, including incremental, risk-adjusted, cost-benefit, variance and scenario analyses, NPV, and sensitivity analysis, using a range of tools and applications.
  • You must be able to demonstrate experience with Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) systems, such as Planisware, Accolade, Clarity and similar software applications.
  • You will also have critical thinking skills, enhanced by an ability to strategically evaluate disparate and complex data, and to interpret and integrate key assumptions to develop new insights.
  • You should have a proven track record of successfully working with multi-cultural, cross-functional teams, and developing productive working relationships.
  • You should also possess subject matter expertise, business acumen and effective change management skills.
  • Experience with Operational Excellence (OE) process development, implementation, including continuous improvement is also required.
