Evolution of industry practices have been witnessed with evolution of technology. We've been helping businesses embrace and implement the new for years; it is crucial we apply this to manufacturers and products companies, service organizations and software companies, to fuel their next level of growth.

Within Industry X, Asset Management Senior Managers who sit within our Digital Manufacturing & Operations domain help design and implement solutions that integrate strategy, technology, data and people to enable process improvements that build value for clients.

Accenture is a company that will allow you to learn, grow and advance in an innovative culture that flourishes with shared success, innovative ways of thinking and enables boundaryless opportunities that can drive your career in new and exciting ways.

The Opportunity

Accenture is looking to recruit Asset Management Senior Managers within our Industry X consulting practice in the UK or Ireland with a focus on designing and implementing asset management-oriented applications and technologies that enable operational efficiency and effectiveness. We focus on areas such as asset management strategy, process change, technology design, technology implementation, change management and people and culture change.

This role is focused on helping our clients achieve their ambitions for asset management transformation whilst delivering greenfield and brownfield factory / plant modernisation programmes. You will be working closely with technology and consulting colleagues across our Manufacturing and Operations domain throughout the lifecycle of a project, right from initial scoping to design and subsequent implementation, testing and support.

We digitise, optimise, and transform our clients’ traditional ways of identifying, planning, scheduling and execution of maintenance activities while also proving a continuous improvement feedback loop.

In this role you will:

Help clients target and deliver value through asset management transformation of their factory / plant / infrastructure operations.
Help shape, sell and deliver projects that create tangible value - including current state assessments, seeing opportunities to increase efficiency, and developing application & technology enabled solutions and providing input into business cases and journey plans, to achieve the right value led outcomes for the client.
Design the application technology solutions to enable future ways of working - new operating models, business functions and processes, whilst working closely with business strategists, process owners and domain experts.
Drive business development opportunities from origination to successful closing (including offering fine tuning, solution shaping, proposal preparation, client presentations).
Use digital technologies to enable clients’ future-state business capabilities and drive targeted business outcomes.
Develop enduring, trust-based relationships with people at all career levels, both professionally and personally, internally, and externally. This includes receiving and providing (based on experience) coaching and career development across the Industry X practice.
Provide points of view on key industry challenges and technology trends, and present an impetus for change in industry context.
Help drive the development and refinement of offerings and generate collateral to support sales and origination activities (overviews, case studies, account planning, marketing information).
Facilitate client innovation and requirements workshops and use a human-centered approach to solve problems, frame opportunities and achieve innovation through collaboration and co-creation.

The Person

The successful candidate will be a hands-on process / technology practitioner with good knowledge and 5+ years experience in designing and implementing asset management solutions (processes and supporting technical infrastructure) in either Manufacturing or Operations environments.

We seek motivated professionals who are driven by the ability to address client problems with insights and innovation, and who thrive in a highly collaborative environment where team success takes priority over individual metrics.

We are looking for experience in the following areas:

Analysing clients’ strategy, operating vision, business imperatives and capabilities.
Selecting the appropriate application, technology and infrastructure components
In-depth experience of asset management challenges and opportunities.
Knowledge of existing, new and emerging digital technologies and being able to practically apply them for shop floor operational processes.
Awareness of all aspects of implementing end-to-end solutions, including technology application and change programmes.
Assisting client business case development by estimating technology and implementation costs and effort estimation using own experience and Accenture guided estimating tools.

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first-class services we are known for.

Set Yourself Apart:
