Technical Upstream Oil & Gas Data SME

Technical Upstream Oil & Gas Data SME

Our long-time client, a leader in enterprise-wide BI and data mining technology solutions, has asked us to find a Technical Presales Consultant for their sales focus on O&G Upstream segment of the O&G industry - heavy focus on exploration. Location needs to Houston - for pretty obvious reasons. Travel may be in the 50%+ range. This position will be focused on providing support for sales teams and O&G customers and prospects located in the US but it is possible that some international travel may be required as well.

The preferred focus for this role will be:

> Houston is the location for this role so you can be a part of the O&G team already in place
