SAP EAM Practice Lead – Hybrid Slough/Aberdeen
UK & Europe | SAP EAM / Plant Maintenance | S/4HANA Transformation | Practice Leadership
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/4HANA 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/4HANA 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/4HANA 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.
Not ego. 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 all at once.
AG is a fast-growing SAP Gold Partner, working across ECC, S/4HANA Private and Public Cloud, RISE and GROW. The business already has serious SAP capability, international reach, ISO-certified standards and a strong client base across complex industries.
Now it wants to go further.
The opportunity here is not to inherit a finished practice and keep the lights on.
It is to build.
To define the roadmap. To grow revenue. To shape the offering. To create reusable accelerators, templates and industry solutions. To build something that can scale across the UK, Europe and beyond.
You’ll need to be strategic, but not distant.
Commercial, but not transactional.
Technical, but not buried in configuration.
Client-facing, but not performative.
A leader, but still close enough to the work to know when something does not smell right.
If you’ve spent your career in SAP EAM, Plant Maintenance or asset management transformation and you’re ready for a role where your experience becomes the foundation of a practice, this is worth a conversation.
AG is looking for someone who can lead from the front, build with purpose and help clients rethink how they manage the assets their businesses depend on.
If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
