Senior Partner – Capital and Deals — Refining And Marketing System

The mandate

Customer and operating evidence now point to demand for sector-specific capital and transaction advice across the region within a privately held integrated energy producer and services platform. The immediate arena is the refining and marketing system during a commodity-cycle repositioning. For mandate 388, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals operating perimeter covers approximately £26,650 million in operated asset and trading portfolio, with activity spanning several refining and marketing system customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals Oil & Energy remit carries direct influence over roughly 575 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a Senior Partner – Capital and Deals who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the refining and marketing system. The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals Oil & Energy seat must resolve a commodity-cycle repositioning, while preserving the underlying strengths of the refining and marketing system. For mandate 388, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals’s first year on the refining and marketing system is expected to end with board access, deal conversion and post-deal value capture. In mandate 388, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the Senior Partner – Capital and Deals — Refining And Marketing System seat.

The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while a commodity-cycle repositioning is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.
