Supply Chain Operations – Oil & Gas - Subsurface Data & Digital Solutions – Manager

 

The opportunity

Are you a subsurface data leader with a passion for digital transformation? We are looking for a technically grounded, market-facing Manager to drive end-to-end solution development and client engagement across the upstream value chain. You will work at the intersection of geoscience, engineering, and emerging technologies, crafting digital solutions for exploration, drilling, and subsurface data management. This role is central to EY’s go-to-market strategy: shaping pursuits, activating alliances, and defining how EY shows up in the market, while collaborating closely with delivery teams to ensure impact at scale.

 

Your key responsibilities

As a manager in subsurface data & digital solutions, you will:

• Lead the solutioning of complex subsurface and drilling data workflows, turning domain challenges into practical, scalable digital architectures
• Engage directly with clients to validate use cases, define MVP scope, and co-develop transformation roadmaps across exploration, reservoir, and drilling domains
• Shape and grow partnerships with cloud, data, and application providers to unlock differentiated value
• Represent EY in the market through technical thought leadership, external forums, and alliance-led initiatives
• Partner with internal delivery teams to refine solution accelerators, reference architectures, and deployment strategies for subsurface and well operations
• Provide technical oversight during project mobilization, ensuring alignment on scope, resource planning, and solution integrity

 

Skills and attributes for success

• Deep technical expertise in geoscience and drilling data ecosystems (e.g., seismic interpretation, reservoir modeling, well planning workflows)
• Hands-on experience with key platforms like Petrel, OpenWorks, Techlog, DecisionSpace, and cloud-native environments (including OSDU)
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and DevOps principles
• Ability to translate domain complexity into compelling technical narratives and solution blueprints for business and technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated success in shaping pursuits, defining digital solutions, and collaborating across sales and delivery functions
• Entrepreneurial drive to build new offerings, co-create with partners, and continuously refine EY’s digital point of view

 

To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, geosciences, computer science, or a related technical discipline
• 6–10 years of experience in upstream oil and gas, particularly within subsurface or drilling domains
• Experience working for or with major operators or oilfield service companies on data and application modernization
• Exposure to seismic, well, and reservoir data workflows and integration challenges
• Proven experience deploying or architecting solutions on OSDU or similar cloud-native platforms
• Understanding of agile product development, digital twin implementations, or applied AI/ML use cases in exploration or drilling is a plus

 

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Experience developing proposals or driving early-stage opportunity shaping for digital transformation engagements
• A strong professional network in the upstream digital ecosystem
• Experience contributing to joint pilots or commercial PoCs with cloud and software partners

 

What we look for

We seek techno-functional leaders who thrive in ambiguity, excel at client engagement, and bring credibility across both engineering and digital domains. You’ll help shape how subsurface and drilling organizations modernize their data ecosystems, improve technical workflows, and scale AI-driven insights.
