This role leverages deep subject matter expertise, executive-level customer access, and commercial judgment to position Halliburton as a trusted partner for complex production challenges.

• Align Halliburton’s technical, commercial, and operational capabilities with customer needs through consultative engagement and solution-based selling.
• Deliver executive-level technical and commercial presentations, articulating value propositions that differentiate Halliburton’s offerings.
• Maintain and expand senior-level relationships with customer decision-makers, influencers, and technical leaders.
• Actively pursue opportunities within both assigned and non-assigned accounts to expand market reach and portfolio penetration.
• Play a leadership role in the business planning and forecasting process, contributing market intelligence and growth strategies.
• Collaborate closely with PSL leadership, operations, engineering, and solutions teams to ensure successful execution of commercial commitments.
• Provide guidance, coaching, and informal mentorship to less experienced account representatives, supporting capability development across the team.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 10–15 years of progressive experience in business development, technical sales, or account management within oilfield services, energy, or a related industry.
• Proven track record managing large, complex accounts with revenue responsibility typically ranging from $50M to $150M.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior customer stakeholders and close high-value commercial opportunities.
• Strong understanding of production operations, Artificial Lift technologies, and value-based selling approaches.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Ability to operate independently, exercise sound commercial judgment, and lead through influence rather than authority.
