Head of Asset Management & AI Transformation

Head of Asset Management & AI Transformation

Remote | Global Role | Multi-Industry

This is not a traditional asset management role

This role is designed for someone who understands that the future of maintenance and asset management is driven bydata, reliability engineering, and intelligent systems.

If your experience is rooted inReliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive strategies, labour optimisation, and cost control, and you are interested in applying this knowledge to AI-driven solutions, this is a unique opportunity to operate at the forefront of the industry.

About MaxAccelerate Technology Group

MaxAccelerate Technology Group is a global technology and transformation business focused on helping asset-intensive organisations improve performance, reduce cost, and scale operations throughdata, systems, and AI.

Through our ecosystem, includingDataMax AI, we work with organisations across Facilities Management, Transportation, Pharma, Manufacturing, Energy, and Infrastructure to transform how assets are managed.

Our approach is grounded in real operational understanding:

• Maintenance strategies must bestructured, measurable, and optimised
• Systems such asIBM Maximo and other EAM platformsmust deliver actionable insight
• AI must be applied in a way that drivestangible outcomes across cost, labour, and asset performance

The Role

We are seeking a Head of Asset Management & AI Transformation to lead the definition and delivery ofAI-driven asset management solutions.

The focus of the role is to take deep operational knowledge — including:

• RCM frameworks
• Preventive and condition-based maintenance strategies
• Workforce planning and labour models
• Spare parts, inventory, and asset lifecycle considerations

and translate these intostructured AI use cases and scalable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with Heads of Maintenance, Engineering Leaders, and Operations teams to understand:
• Maintenance strategies and maturity
• Preventive vs reactive ratios
• Labour utilisation and workforce efficiency
• Spare parts management and inventory control
• Define and structureAI use casesthat address:
• Reduction in reactive maintenance
• Optimisation of preventive maintenance schedules
• Labour efficiency and workforce planning
• Spare parts forecasting and cost reduction
• Asset lifecycle optimisation
• Develop and leadProof of Concepts (PoCs)that validate:
• Operational improvements
• Cost savings
• Performance uplift
• Translate business requirements into clearscope of worksfor DataMax AI R&D teams
• Ensure AI solutions integrate effectively withEAM/CMMS platforms (Maximo preferred)and align with real operational workflows
• Build clearROI models, ensuring every solution delivers measurable impact across:
• Maintenance costs
• Asset uptime
• Labour efficiency
• Inventory and working capital
• Support clients in adopting solutions that improve their infrastructure, operations, and long-term asset strategy

Why This Role Matters

Most organisations have:

• Maintenance strategies defined on paper
• Systems implemented but underutilised
• Data available but not fully leveraged

This role exists to bridge that gap.

You will ensure that:

• Maintenance frameworks such as RCM are not just theoretical, butdigitised and optimised
• Preventive strategies are continuously refined based onreal performance data
• Labour and cost structures are aligned withactual operational demand
• AI is applied in a way that improvesreal infrastructure outcomes, not just reporting

What We Are Looking For

• Strong background inAsset Management, Maintenance, or Engineering leadership
• Deep understanding of:
• RCM and reliability frameworks
• Preventive and predictive maintenance strategies
• Workforce and labour optimisation
• Spare parts and inventory management
• Experience working withEAM/CMMS platforms, ideally IBM Maximo
• Ability to translate operational challenges into structured, solution-driven approaches
• Commercial awareness and the ability to link technical improvements tocost and performance outcomes

The Opportunity

This role offers the opportunity to work across industries and influence how organisations manage and optimise critical assets.

You will play a key role in:

• Defining how AI is applied to asset management in real environments
• Delivering measurable improvements in cost, performance, and efficiency
• Shaping solutions that can be scaled across multiple industries

Apply

If you are interested in moving beyond traditional asset management roles and want to be involved in shaping the next generation of maintenance and asset optimisation, we would welcome a conversation.
