Position Objective
The Director, STAQ leads the team responsible for EQT’s Special Project Case (SPC) pipeline — the “Innovation Engine” that turns business ideas into delivered technology and process improvements. The role owns intake, prioritization, scoping, solution-architecture governance, and value realization across a portfolio that serves every EQT business department. The ideal candidate is a delivery-minded leader who is comfortable with technical projects and oil & gas business applications, sets clear priorities against finite capacity, and builds a high-performing team and a culture of continuous improvement.
Essential Duties
- Strategy & portfolio: Develop and maintain the STAQ strategy — project prioritization frameworks, value-realization tracking, and portfolio management — so EQT focuses on its highest-value initiatives.
- Pipeline ownership: Own the SPC pipeline end to end — intake, triage, scoping, prioritization, development hand-off to IT delivery teams, documentation, and post-implementation lookback.
- Cross-functional governance: Lead recurring cross-functional Special Project Reviews with business departments and internal team standups and architecture-collaboration sessions to align priorities and unblock delivery.
- Architecture & quality: Govern solution architecture and data-quality standards so the pipeline stays reliable, fast, supported, valuable, and clean (the Innovation Engine scorecard).
- People leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the STAQ team (Business Process Operations Manager and Business Process Engineers); foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
- Budget & capacity: Develop and manage the STAQ budget and capacity plan; balance incoming demand against the standing backlog and available staffing.
- Stakeholder alignment: Communicate with executive and cross-functional stakeholders to align department portfolios, delivery priorities, and enterprise strategy; steward STAQ’s knowledge base and operating standards.
- Continuous improvement: Research and evaluate emerging technologies (automation, analytics) for business applicability and pursue continuous improvement of the pipeline and its supporting infrastructure.
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of combined experience in technology delivery, business operations, and/or process improvement, including team leadership
- Bachelor’s degree, preferably in a technical or quantitative field (e.g., Engineering, Computer/Data Science, Information Systems, or Business). An engineering degree is beneficial but not required.
- Experience delivering technology programs or products from inception through delivery to post-launch.
- Demonstrated ability to gather requirements, define project scope, and translate business needs into technical solutions.
- Demonstrated understanding of data structures, analytics, and solution architecture (conceptual fluency required; hands-on engineering not required).
- Proven ability to coordinate, organize, lead, and develop teams, and to manage competing priorities across many stakeholders.
- Comfort working on technical projects and with oil & gas business applications, with a strong understanding of how the business works.
- Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience developing or leading Salesforce-based business processes and custom solutions.
- Experience with data tools, pipelines, and analytics platforms (e.g., Power BI, Databricks).
- Engineering and/or operational experience in the oil & gas industry (beneficial, not required).
- Experience leading a portfolio, delivery, or business-process function.
- Familiarity with EQT’s “Way We Work” operating model (Programs, Utilities, Insights, Sessions, and Knowledge).
Selected incumbent will be placed into the position that best suits their abilities and experience level.
