Technical Director, Energy Sector

The Energy Technical Director leverages the global and APAC technology strategy to create a technology vision and strategy aligned to the Go to Market strategy for the Energy ANZ Market. They act as a partner to the business and their success is measured by the success of the market. 

In conjunction with Demand, technology and advisory functions, Market and Client Leadership Teams, they develop an industry point of view then drive and execute on the Go to Market strategy for the assigned market.

They focus on building exec engagement with CTOs/CIOs/Heads of Engineering and Heads of Delivery. They strategically understand, assess, define and propose technology solutions and deliver value to clients within the market. They enable Thoughtworks to attract and retain clients and technical talent.

They shape the Market’s technical culture and participate significantly in the entrepreneurial process of growing a market and running a healthy commercial business. This includes but is not limited to pre-sales pursuits, solutioning and proposal development, creating the tech strategy, supporting operations and recruiting, team building and talent cultivation. Leveraging a deep understanding of our business, our clients, the energy industry and technology, Market Tech Principals galvanize, connect and align talent with our Go to Market strategy and client needs.

They lead and support technologists who are serving clients within the Market, while demonstrating executive presence with high level client counterparts. At the same time, they should be willing to deep dive into technology solutions both with Thoughtworks and client teams to assess implementations, identify optimisations and suggest remediations.   

While spearheading Energy industry related technology, they need to demonstrate domain understanding and exercise commercial acumen. This would enable them to elevate conversations with business stakeholders to demonstrate business value and commercial benefit of their technical propositions to help secure large, long-term contracts.

Leadership is a continual balancing act between demand, delivery, domain, technology and talent depending on the needs of the business. Understanding and making strategic trade-offs across these areas is key.
