About the Role

Energy, Oil & Gas is one of the most operationally complex and asset-intensive industries, where AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment. While the opportunity is significant, many organizations struggle to move from promising pilots to production-grade AI due to fragmented data, complex environments, and strict safety and regulatory requirements.

CloudFactory is built to solve exactly this.

As Client Principal, AI Consulting (Energy, Oil & Gas), you will be the senior commercial and strategic leader for our energy sector. You will operate as a trusted advisor to executive stakeholders across operators, oilfield services companies, and energy enterprises, shaping AI transformation agendas and leading engagements from origination through delivery oversight.

This is a high-impact, externally facing role for someone who can open doors, lead complex conversations, and convert opportunity into long-term partnerships.

What You’ll Do

Executive Relationships & Strategic Advisory

  • Build and lead market growth strategy across energy operators, oilfield services companies, and energy enterprises.
  • Operate as a strategic advisor on AI adoption, from identifying high-value use cases to scaling solutions in production.
  • Engage C-suite and VP stakeholders as a trusted advisor, not a vendor.
  • Navigate complex stakeholder environments across operations, subsurface, engineering, HSE, IT, and data teams.
  • Develop a deep understanding of client priorities across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Business Development & Growth

  • Own new client acquisition, account expansion and P/L management accounts within the energy sector.
  • Develop and execute strategic account plans with clear pathways from pilot to enterprise-scale programs.
  • Lead consultative, executive-level sales conversations and build compelling business cases for AI investment.
  • Own the full commercial lifecycle: discovery, solution framing, proposal development, and executive presentations.
  • Navigate sector-specific buying cycles, procurement processes, and capital planning timelines.

Solution Shaping & Delivery Oversight

  • Identify and shape high-impact AI use cases, including:
  • Predictive maintenance and asset monitoring
  • Computer vision for inspection (drone, aerial, and field imagery)
  • Safety and compliance automation
  • Intelligent document processing from engineering documentation
  • Geospatial, LiDAR, and digital twin data pipelines
  • Translate operational challenges into scalable AI solutions leveraging CloudFactory’s capabilities.
  • Partner closely with technical and delivery teams to ensure high-quality execution and client satisfaction.
  • Oversee delivery to ensure alignment on scope, timelines, and outcomes.

Thought Leadership & Industry Impact

  • Stay at the forefront of AI trends across the energy value chain, including asset digitization, predictive operations, and computer vision at scale.
  • Contribute to CloudFactory’s external presence through industry events, client engagements, and thought leadership.
  • Bring sector insights into product, delivery, and go-to-market strategy.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead and inspire cross-functional teams including consultants, data scientists, and engineers.
  • Foster strong collaboration between client stakeholders and internal teams.
  • Promote best practices in AI consulting, delivery excellence, and client engagement.

Requirements

  • Deep industry expertise in energy, oil & gas, or adjacent industrial sectors, with a strong understanding of operations and digital transformation.
  • Established executive network across energy operators or oilfield services companies that you can activate from day one.
  • Strong business acumen, with the ability to translate operational challenges into AI-driven opportunities; P/L management experience.
  • Technical fluency in AI/ML concepts, including predictive analytics and computer vision.
  • Proven consulting and commercial experience, managing enterprise clients and complex engagements.
  • Executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders as a trusted peer.
  • Leadership experience, guiding cross-functional teams and delivering high-impact outcomes.
  • Experience: 10+ years of experience in consulting, technology, or digital transformation within energy or industrial sectors.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, statistics, or related field. Advanced degrees in AI, data science, or business are a plus.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to operate at the intersection of AI, industry transformation, and executive leadership, helping some of the world’s largest energy companies unlock real value from AI. You’ll play a critical role in shaping both client outcomes and CloudFactory’s growth in a strategically important sector.

Benefits

  • Compensation: Highly competitive base salary and an aggressive, performance-aligned incentive compensation structure.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Robust health, dental, vision, and retirement plans.
  • Cutting-Edge Projects: Direct exposure to, and leadership of, advanced AI initiatives with the world's most influential energy corporations.
  • Collaborative Culture: A supportive, high-performance team environment focused on innovation and measurable client success.
  • Professional Growth: Structured access to continuous executive education, mentorship, and accelerated leadership development opportunities.
  • Executive Visibility: Regular interaction with, and direct accountability to, the company’s senior leadership team.

This role represents a unique, high-impact opportunity to define and shape the AI landscape for major global corporations in the energy sector. If you are a highly consultative professional with deep sector knowledge, a passion for AI, and a proven talent for originating and closing complex, strategic enterprise deals, we encourage your application.
