Senior Director, Procurement | BKV Corporation

Houston, TX | Denver, CO | Fort Worth, TX

Architect Procurement Strategy for a $2B Public Energy Company Leading the Energy Transition

BKV Corporation is a publicly traded natural gas company with integrated operations across upstream production, carbon capture (CCUS), power generation, and midstream infrastructure. We're not abandoning traditional energy—we're mastering both natural gas excellence AND the energy transition.

We're seeking a Senior Director of Procurement to provide enterprise-wide strategic and operational leadership across our four business units. This isn't maintenance mode. This is a build-the-future opportunity where you'll shape procurement strategy, lead a multi-layered organization, and serve as our CFO's trusted partner on supply chain and cost optimization.

Why This Role Matters

You'll oversee sourcing, contracting, supplier management, and cost optimization across diverse operations—from Appalachian Basin drilling to first-of-their-kind CCUS facilities to power generation assets. You'll balance enterprise standardization with business-unit flexibility, ensuring procurement is a competitive advantage.

Reporting directly to our CFO gives you unfiltered access to C-suite decision-making and the ability to influence strategy at the highest levels.

What You'll Build

Enterprise Strategy & Governance

• Design procurement strategies supporting traditional energy operations and emerging low-carbon initiatives
• Harmonize procurement across four business units with distinct needs, capital programs, and regulatory environments
• Build supplier portfolios positioning BKV for operational excellence today and energy transition leadership tomorrow

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a multi-layered procurement organization of managers and professionals
• Build high-performing teams with clear career paths, accountability, and engagement
• Foster a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and strategic thinking

Strategic Partnerships & Project Leadership

• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Finance, Legal, Engineering, and ESG teams
• Lead large-scale procurement projects (>$50M) including strategic sourcing initiatives, supplier consolidations, and capital project procurement
• Serve as the CFO's advisor on spend analytics, market conditions, supplier performance, and risk mitigation

Operational Excellence

• Drive cost efficiency, risk management, and supply continuity across $500M+ annual spend
• Implement procurement technologies, governance frameworks, and process improvements
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, internal controls, and ethical sourcing standards

Who You Are

Must-Haves:

15+ years in energy procurement (oil & gas, midstream, or power generation)

Proven people leadership — you've built and managed procurement teams

Large project management — track record leading complex procurement initiatives (>$50M or multi-year strategic programs)

C-suite partnership — experience influencing executives, ideally CFO/COO reporting relationships

Geographic flexibility — located in or willing to relocate to Houston, Fort Worth/DFW, or Denver

Strong Preferences:

Power generation procurement experience — you understand power plant equipment, fuel supply, emissions controls, or grid infrastructure

Transformation leadership — track record building or transforming procurement organizations, not just maintaining them

Multi-business unit experience — you've balanced enterprise consistency with operational flexibility across different business models

Energy transition exposure — CCUS, renewables, or low-carbon technology procurement

What Makes You Exceptional:

Strategic thinker who can influence without authority and navigate complex stakeholder environments

Deep expertise in strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations, and contract management for capital-intensive industries

Comfortable with ambiguity in fast-paced, high-growth environments

What We Offer

Compensation & Incentives

• Base Salary: $206,000 - $419,000 (commensurate with experience)
• Short-Term & Long-Term Incentive: 40% target and Eligible (public company equity participation)

Career Impact

• Direct CFO Reporting — you're at the table where strategy is made, not three layers down
• Enterprise Scope — four business units, diverse operations, meaningful company-wide impact
• Autonomy — significant decision-making authority to shape procurement strategy
• Growth Trajectory — BKV is expanding CCUS and power generation; build procurement capabilities for businesses that don't yet exist

Lifestyle & Culture

• Flexibility: Hybrid work options, travel ~20-25% (manageable and strategic)
• Location Choice: Houston (energy capital), Denver (mountain lifestyle), Fort Worth (Texas culture, DFW access)
• Values-Driven: Leadership prioritizes visionary strategy, efficient execution, high-performing teams
• No Bureaucracy: Public company stability without the layers and politics of energy majors

Why Now?

BKV is at an inflection point. We're publicly traded (liquidity, transparency, career currency), well-capitalized (post-IPO strength), and strategically diversified across traditional energy and energy transition.

Procurement will play a critical role in our next chapter—ensuring cost competitiveness in natural gas operations while building supplier ecosystems for CCUS and power generation. This is your chance to architect that strategy from a position of strength.

If you're a procurement leader ready to move from functional excellence to enterprise transformation—and you want to do it at a company winning in both traditional energy AND the future—let's talk.
