• Provide strategic direction and thought leadership to position the practice for growth in the US.

2. Partner Management: 

• Manage and maintain the relationship with key partners, ensuring alignment of goals and mutual success.
• Act as the primary point of contact for all partnership-related activities, including strategic initiatives, joint marketing, business development and implementation services.
• Ensure continuous collaboration and effective communication with the partner to stay aligned on product development, updates, and roadmaps.

3. Pre-Sales Support and Business Development: 

• Support pre-sales activities by working closely with the sales team to scope and define the technical and functional aspects of EAM solutions.
• Participate in client meetings and presentations to provide insights into the technical and business value of the EAM solution, helping to close deals and win new business.
• Provide detailed implementation service scoping, timelines, and resource planning based on client needs and system specifications.

4. EAM Implementation Expertise: 

• Oversee the successful delivery of EAM implementation projects from initiation through completion.
• Collaborate with project managers, technical consultants, and clients to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and on budget.

The Practice Leader will play a critical role in shaping the future of our EAM practice and will have the opportunity to influence the broader direction of the business. It is important to note that the primary EAM solution used and implemented in the EAM practice is IFS Ultimo. As this EAM solution is relatively new in the US market, we don’t expect experience with this solution.
