Join our Qrew! Position Objective The Director, STAQ leads the team responsible for EQT’s Special Project Case (SPC) pipeline — the “Innovation Engine” that turns business ideas into delivered technology and process improvements. The role owns intake, prioritization, scoping, solution-architecture governance, and value realization across a portfolio that serves every EQT business department. The ideal candidate is a delivery-minded leader who is comfortable with technical projects and oil & gas business applications, sets clear priorities against finite capacity, and builds a high-performing team and a culture of continuous improvement.
Essential Duties Strategy & portfolio: Develop and maintain the STAQ strategy — project prioritization frameworks, value-realization tracking, and portfolio management — so EQT focuses on its highest-value initiatives. Pipeline ownership: Own the SPC pipeline end to end — intake, triage, scoping, prioritization, development hand-off to IT delivery teams, documentation, and post-implementation lookback. Cross-functional governance: Lead recurring cross-functional Special Project Reviews with business departments and internal team standups and architecture-collaboration sessions to align priorities and unblock delivery.
Architecture & quality: Govern solution architecture and data-quality standards so the pipeline stays reliable, fast, supported, valuable, and clean (the Innovation Engine scorecard). People leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the STAQ team (Business Process Operations Manager and Business Process Engineers); foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement. Budget & capacity: Develop and manage the STAQ budget and capacity plan; balance incoming demand against the standing backlog and available staffing.
