Job Purpose
The Business Development Manager owns the commercial growth of the Weatherford Digital portfolio, converting the Digital go-to-market strategy into booked revenue across assigned accounts and geo zones. The portfolio spans flow measurement, wellsite automation and edge, SCADA and operations software, engineering optimization, and the data and intelligence layer that connects them, sold into upstream, midstream, and industrial operator accounts. The role originates and closes new business, protects and expands the installed base through renewal and modernization cycles, and works with Geo Zone Sales Directors and Digital Technical Sales to keep global strategy and regional execution aligned.
The role reports to the Global Digital Commercial, GTM & Delivery Director, who owns commercial strategy, go-to-market design, pricing, customer success, delivery standards, and enablement. Where that role sets the playbook, the Business Development Manager runs it in the field and feeds back what it is missing. As the first dedicated business development position in the Digital commercial function, the incumbent is expected to help shape segmentation, commercial tooling, and sales methodology as the function scales. Travel of approximately 35% is required.
