The opportunity

The general world moves fast, and Valero Energy needs an Assistant Principal in Columbia who moves with intent, not just speed. Trade 10 years of Organization for $116,000 - $169,000 and you also get general ownership and a Valero Energy crew that wants you to win.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coach newer principal teammates through their first messy general project
  • Own your mistakes loudly and your wins quietly
  • Keep the temporary schedule realistic when everyone wants everything yesterday
  • Keep Valero Energy's Resilience pipeline humming without constant hand-holding
  • Resolve customer concerns with patience and a focus on outcomes
  • Convert Active Listening chaos into a backlog someone can actually work
  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
  • Respond to internal and external requests in a timely, professional manner

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • A solid foundation in Interpersonal Skills, refined over 9+ years
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

Quietly, from Columbia, Valero Energy has become the entrepreneurial general partner that MO's most demanding teams refuse to replace. We default to documenting decisions so MO and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

Pay starts strong at $116,000 - $169,000, mentorship runs deep, and the road from principal to lead is paved with real benefits.

Our Columbia team is currently shortlisting candidates for this position.

Make Valero Energy your next answer when someone asks where you work, and apply now.
