SAP EAM Practice Lead

SAP EAM Practice Lead – Hybrid Slough/Aberdeen

Some SAP roles are about delivering a project.

This one is about building the thing clients come back for.

AG is looking for an SAP EAM Practice Lead. Not just someone who knows Plant Maintenance inside out, although you’ll need that. Not just someone who can lead an S/4

HANA EAM transformation, although you’ll absolutely need that too.

This is for someone who can take everything they know about asset management, SAP, delivery, pre-sales, people, clients and commercial growth, and turn it into a practice with shape, direction and momentum.

Because Enterprise Asset Management is not just another SAP workstream.

In asset-heavy industries, it is the heartbeat of the business.

Energy. Utilities. Oil & Gas. Manufacturing. Environments where assets are critical, downtime is expensive, reliability matters, and maintenance is not just maintenance. It is performance, safety, cost, compliance, sustainability and operational confidence all wrapped into one.

That is where this role lives.

You’ll be leading AG’s SAP EAM capability across the UK and Europe, helping define what the practice becomes, how it grows, how it goes to market and how it delivers. You’ll be close to clients, close to delivery, close to SAP, and close to the commercial direction of the business.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit quietly inside a programme and wait for requirements.

This is for someone who can walk into a client conversation and create confidence. Someone who can shape an EAM roadmap, challenge thinking, understand the operational reality, and translate it into a SAP solution that actually works in the real world.

You’ll know SAP EAM and Plant Maintenance deeply. You’ll understand how it connects across MM, FI, PS, Supply Chain and the wider S/4

HANA landscape. You’ll have seen what happens when asset data is poor, maintenance planning is reactive, mobility is an afterthought, or reliability is talked about more than it is designed for.

And you’ll know how to fix it.

You’ll be leading S/4

HANA EAM transformations across greenfield, brownfield and selective data transition programmes. You’ll guide clients through asset lifecycle improvements, maintenance planning, asset performance, reliability and digital asset management. You’ll help them move from “we’ve always done it this way” to something smarter, cleaner and more future-ready.

But this role is bigger than delivery.

You’ll be part of the commercial engine.

You’ll lead client workshops, shape solutions, own RFP responses and support strategic bids. You’ll know how to turn a conversation into an opportunity without making it feel like a sales pitch. You’ll partner with SAP, ecosystem partners and internal teams to position AG properly in the market.

You’ll be expected to bring ideas.

Not recycled slides. Not generic thought leadership. Proper ideas.

Ideas about predictive maintenance, mobility, BTP, analytics, IoT, asset intelligence, automation, data-driven decision-making and the role asset management plays in sustainability and ESG. Ideas that clients can understand. Ideas that make sense commercially. Ideas that delivery teams can actually deliver.

You’ll also be responsible for standards.

That means quality. Governance. Margin protection. Risk management. Delivery confidence. Making sure programmes are aligned to SAP Activate and AG’s delivery frameworks. Making sure clients feel the difference between a supplier and a partner.

And then there’s the people side.

You’ll build, mentor and scale a high-performing EAM team across onshore and offshore locations. You’ll help hire the right people, onboard them properly, coach them, raise the bar and create the kind of environment where consultants get better because they are surrounded by clarity, standards and leadership.

This is a role for someone with weight.

The kind that comes from 12+ years in SAP. From delivering EAM and PM properly. From leading transformation programmes. From understanding asset-intensive industries. From managing distributed teams. From owning client relationships. From being trusted in the room when the conversation is technical, commercial and political…
