BKV Corporation, Denver, CO, United States
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

✔
Large project management

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

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.
