  7. Develop the Oil & Gas business pipeline and take ownership of commercial performance, including opportunity identification, proposal development, pricing, project economics, realization, and profitability.
  8. Build and develop the Oil & Gas team and capabilities over time, recruiting and developing high-performing talent and shaping the capabilities required to support the growth of the regional business.
  9. Build strong collaboration with other Roland Berger practices and sector teams, leveraging capabilities in areas such as transformation, performance improvement, digital and AI, and operational excellence to develop differentiated client propositions.
  10. Liaise and collaborate with the global Oil & Gas and Energy practices, bringing relevant international expertise and intellectual capital to Middle East clients while creating opportunities for cross-border client development and collaboration.
