Your new company
We are currently recruiting for a Maximo Application Manager on a permanent basis to join an organisation based in Portsmouth that is committed to improving the way it manages and maximises its assets through technology.
This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of a critical enterprise application, influence how Maximo is used across the business and lead meaningful transformation and improvement initiatives. You will work closely with a wide range of stakeholders and have the chance to shape the future direction of asset management systems.
Your new roleAs Maximo Application Manager, you will take full end-to-end ownership of the IBM Maximo application, ensuring it supports the organisation's asset management strategy and wider operational goals. This is a senior application management role combining technical leadership, stakeholder engagement and people management. You will oversee the implementation, configuration and ongoing optimisation of Maximo, ensuring high availability, performance, security and compliance at all times.
You will act as the primary point of contact for Maximo across the business, working closely with operations, engineering and maintenance teams to understand asset management requirements and translate these into effective technical solutions. The role will involve managing system integrations, data quality, reporting and analytics, including the use of AI, as well as leading system upgrades and enhancements.
You will liaise with IBM and third party vendors on support, licencing and system improvements, while also leading and mentoring a Maximo Analyst. In addition, you will manage change control, system documentation and governance standards, ensuring Maximo is used consistently and in line with agreed policies. The role includes leading application-related projects, developing delivery plans, managing timelines and budgets, and ensuring successful outcomes with minimal impact to users. You will also provide out-of-hours or on-call support as part of a rota and act as an escalation point for Maximo related issues, alongside providing management and support for other applications where required.
What you'll need to succeedTo be successful in this role, you will have strong experience in Maximo application management and systems support within a complex IT environment. You will have a solid understanding of asset management systems, integrations and data governance, alongside experience of managing application lifecycles and delivering system enhancements or projects.
You will be an effective communicator, comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and confident in translating business requirements into practical system solutions. People management or mentoring experience is useful, (but not essential, so this opportunity could provide your first step into management),
as is the ability to remain calm under pressure and adapt within defined parameters.
What you'll get in return
- Salary of up to £65,000 (some flexibility on this for the right person)
- Company pension contributions
- Bonus schemes and employee recognition programmes
- Life assurance and insurance cover
- Generous annual leave allowance (up to 33 days)
- Christmas bonus
- Salary sacrifice schemes (Cycle to Work, car schemes, pension)
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - 24/7 confidential support
- Virtual GP service
- Annual flu vaccinations
- Staff discounts
