Business & Technology Development Manager

About the Role

NOV is creating this new strategic position to strengthen our direct engagement with selected European oil & gas operators. While our commercial teams work closely with drilling contractors, this role focuses on building long-term relationships with the operators who ultimately influence technology selection and investment decisions.

As Business & Technology Development Manager, you will become NOV's primary commercial and technology representative for selected operator accounts. Your focus will be understanding customer strategies, identifying emerging challenges, and connecting operators with the right expertise and technologies from across NOV's extensive portfolio.

Success in this role requires the ability to combine technical understanding with commercial insight, building trusted relationships that create long-term business opportunities rather than transactional sales.

Why This Role Matters

This is a highly visible role with significant influence across NOV's European business. You will help shape how customers engage with NOV, strengthen strategic partnerships, and support the successful commercialization of technologies that improve safety, efficiency, and operational performance across the drilling value chain.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute business development strategies for selected European operators.
• Build and strengthen long-term relationships with key customer stakeholders.
• Identify and develop new business opportunities across NOV's technology portfolio.
• Collaborate with Sales, Engineering, and Product Management to deliver customer-focused solutions.
• Promote innovative technologies and support their commercialization.
• Monitor market trends, customer priorities, and competitive activity.
• Represent NOV at customer meetings, technical forums, and industry events.
