Role summary

The Energy Field Consultant provides sector, market, and stakeholder intelligence to ensure the successful delivery of a multi-quarter marketing, positioning, and growth roadmap for an energy-sector client operating in Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

• Validate competitive and ecosystem analysis by reviewing and stress-testing competitor positioning, partnership logic, and market-entry assumptions, ensuring zero factual or regulatory inaccuracies in all client-facing materials.
• Advise on brand positioning and narrative development by reviewing and refining hero narratives, value propositions, and campaign themes, ensuring alignment with Saudi energy-sector priorities and acceptance by senior stakeholder audiences (e.g., utilities, regulators, large energy buyers).
• Ensure localization accuracy by validating Arabic and English key messaging for cultural nuance, terminology, and sector credibility.
• Support thought leadership development by contributing outlines, key messages, or expert reviews (reports, whitepapers, keynote abstracts), ensuring technical accuracy and relevance to KSA energy discourse.

• Advise on campaign focus areas by aligning quarterly campaign themes with sector maturity, procurement cycles, and investment priorities, improving lead relevance.
• Support event and ecosystem engagement strategy by advising on priority forums, speaker positioning, and partnership logic, contributing to successful pitching or participation in at least 1-2 major regional events annually.
• Participate in internal alignment sessions and workshops by providing sector context and decision-making insights, ensuring marketing, business development, and leadership teams demonstrate improved alignment and confidence in Saudi-market engagement.
• Contribute to performance reviews and forward planning by providing sector-informed interpretation of H1 and H2 performance results and advising on strategic adjustments for future cycles.
