Demonstrated success building or scaling market entry strategies for new products or new regions.

Strong professional network with the ability to immediately activate customer and partner relationships in South Texas and beyond.

Culture & Mindset at Maverick At Maverick, culture isn’t just a slogan on the wall — it’s how we operate, make decisions, and hold ourselves accountable every day.

We Are a Team, Not a Family.

This is a professional team where only A‑players thrive. We recruit leaders who push themselves, elevate those around them, and are united by a single purpose: to deliver exceptional results in the natural resources sector.

Performance Is the North Star.

Excellence is the baseline; measurable impact is how we define success. Brilliance, ingenuity, and results are celebrated and rewarded.

Radical Ownership.

We expect self‑starters who learn voraciously, master their domain, and take full accountability for outcomes. Curiosity and initiative are non‑negotiable — as is fluency with AI tools that amplify performance.

High Risk, High Reward.

Innovation demands bold experiments. Failure isn’t a flaw; it’s data. What matters is that you learn quickly, iterate, and improve.

Radical Candor, Zero Spin.

We value honesty over polish. Mistakes happen — own them, learn from them, and move forward with transparency and integrity.

Meritocracy Over Politics.

Titles don’t win here — ideas and execution do. Contributions speak louder than hierarchy.

Shared Success.

Compensation reflects impact. When Maverick wins, you win — through performance‑based rewards and meaningful equity participation.
