You'll be responsible for the entire implementation lifecycle of our state-of-the-art Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software solution, ensuring clients maximize the full potential of our platform — from initial kickoff through go-live.

Responsibilities:

  • Proactively identify risks and mitigation strategies to ensure projects are delivered on schedule and within scope. Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with technical teams, resource managers, and SMEs to align deliverables with the overall implementation strategy.
  • Partner with clients to understand their business objectives, workflows, and technical requirements and ensure clarity and alignment across multiple stakeholders.
  • Analyze and document future-state business processes, including workflows, handoffs, and dependencies.
  • Analyze large client data sets for migration and identify gaps in data integrity, create robust data mapping strategies, and ensure all data aligns with system requirements for a seamless transition.
  • Configure and customize the NEXGEN software to meet client specifications, leveraging best practices and innovative solutions to maximize value and user adoption.
  • Design and conduct comprehensive UAT sessions with client stakeholders to validate workflows and configurations, gather feedback, and ensure solutions meet business requirements.
  • Oversee the deployment process, ensuring a smooth transition to the client’s operational environment. Provide real-time support during go-live and address any immediate issues.
  • Provide post Go-Live support to clients, addressing issues and questions. Support project handoffs to support teams, ensuring customer acceptance and continuity post-go-live.
  • Maintain clear, proactive communication with clients, internal teams, and leadership throughout the project lifecycle. Document progress, decisions, and lessons learned to inform future implementations.

  • Strong technical aptitude with the ability to learn and adapt to new software and technologies quickly.
  • Proven ability to translate customer requirements into actionable project plans through strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Expertise in breaking down complex processes to ensure clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness.
  • Ability to envision solutions and understand the process steps from start to finish.
  • Outstanding communication and client relations skills, with the ability to ask critical questions, clarify business requirements, and explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • Strong customer-facing presence with the ability to build trust, manage expectations, and maintain long-term relationships.
  • Flexible schedule to accommodate occasional out-of-hours requests to support.
  • Willing and able to travel to client sites within the U.S. up to approximately 20% of the time.
