Asset-intensive industry is entering an AI-enabled, data-driven, increasingly autonomous era — and nowhere is the value more concentrated than in shutdowns, turnarounds, outages, maintenance campaigns, and major capital builds, where scope, readiness, cost, and safety decide success. This role sits at the centre of that shift.
As a Principal Product Manager for Enterprise Asset Management, you'll own products that maximise asset value, reliability, and uptime while reducing risk and total cost of ownership across the full asset lifecycle — from capital build through operation, maintenance, and turnaround. You bring deep insight into project-based work — shutdowns and turnarounds (STO), campaigns of work, and major capital projects — and you champion high AI agency, treating agentic AI as a core capability, not a feature.
You'll serve asset-intensive operators across IFS's key industries- Energy, Utilities & Resources, Manufacturing, Construction & Engineering, Communication, Aerospace & Defence, and Service Industries.
Core Responsibilities
Strategy & Vision — Set a clear product vision and roadmap tied to measurable outcomes: asset availability, reliability, maintenance cost, and turnaround schedule and budget adherence. Build strong investment cases and drive growth across core and AI revenue streams, aligned with the Asset Lifecycle Management portfolio.
Customer Discovery — Lead discovery with maintenance, reliability, operations, turnaround/STO, and capital-planning leaders. Go deep on scope challenge and optimisation, readiness, resource mobilisation, scheduling, and cost/risk control. Prioritise ruthlessly on measurable value.
High AI Agency & Agentic Innovation — Embed agentic AI into project-based work: autonomously assembling and challenging turnaround scope, optimising campaign and outage schedules, surfacing readiness gaps, and continuously replanning as conditions change. Operate with high personal agency in your own use of AI to prototype and validate fast.
End-to-End Ownership — Own the lifecycle from concept to launch to scale. Remove blockers and drive to outcomes — including the hard schedule and cost deadlines that govern turnarounds and capital projects. Keep Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success aligned.
Commercial Impact & GTM — Define differentiation and value for asset-intensive buyers and event leaders. Support pricing, packaging, launches, and customer presentations. Own adoption as a core metric.
