Job Description

FPSO Product Strategy & Portfolio Management

  • Develop medium & long-term FPSO product roadmap covering standard modular FPSO, deepwater FPSO, low-carbon FPSO, marginal field compact FPSO and asset life extension packages, aligning with global offshore energy transition trends.
  • Conduct continuous market & competitor analysis on FPSO newbuild/conversion yard capacity, pricing models, technical differentiation, client capital expenditure cycles and regional project pipelines (Brazil, West Africa, Southeast Asia, North Sea).
  • Define product value propositions, technical-commercial differentiation, cost benchmarking and profitability targets for each FPSO product variant.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment with engineering, technical design, supply chain and cost teams to optimize product design for market competitiveness and margin control.

2. Global Business Development & Client Executive Management

  • Build and maintain C-level strategic relationships with global NOCs, IOCs, independent operators, FPSO owners, fund investors and offshore contractors; act as primary executive liaison for top-tier clients.
  • Originate, qualify and progress high-value FPSO project leads, manage end-to-end sales pipeline from early client concept study, FEED support, tender bidding through contract negotiation and award.
  • Lead commercial negotiation for large FPSO EPC, conversion, long-term charter and life extension contracts, balancing technical requirements, risk allocation, profit margin and delivery commitments.
  • Represent the company at global offshore energy conferences, industry forums and client executive workshops to strengthen FPSO product brand influence.

3. Bid, Tender & Project Commercial Governance

  • Oversee full tender delivery for FPSO mega-projects: coordinate bid management, technical proposal, cost estimation, schedule planning and risk assessment teams.
  • Review all FPSO commercial proposals, pricing models, contract terms and bid submissions to ensure compliance with corporate risk and profitability thresholds.
  • Post-award handover coordination with project execution team; monitor project commercial performance, claim management and revenue recognition throughout delivery.

4. Team Leadership & P&L Accountability

  • Lead and develop the global FPSO product & BD team (product managers, regional BD managers, bid specialists); set annual sales, margin and market share KPIs, conduct performance review and talent succession planning.
  • Own full P&L of the FPSO product division: deliver annual revenue, gross profit and cash flow targets; control product development R&D budget and marketing expenses.
  • Regularly present FPSO market updates, pipeline status, project risks and business performance to senior management and group board.

5. Low-Carbon & New Energy FPSO Development

  • Track decarbonization demands: integrate carbon capture, electrification, zero-emission power and green fuel solutions into next-generation FPSO product offerings.
  • Explore hybrid FPSO, offshore wind-FPSO integration and low-carbon asset retrofit business opportunities to capture energy transition market growth.
