Pioneer Strategic Asset Management

Project overview

What will you do

As a Pioneer for Strategic Asset Management at Evides, you will play a central role in the further professionalization of asset management within the organization. You will ensure that asset management develops into an integral management tool with which the Management Team can effectively steer on performance, risks, costs, sustainability, and compliance.

Evides already has a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) that outlines the desired direction. The challenge now lies in its implementation and organizational embedding. You will bring structure to the governance, strengthen decision-making, and ensure that asset management is not solely dependent on the knowledge in employees' heads but is supported by clear processes, roles, management information, and an effective PDCA cycle.

You will operate at the interface of strategy, governance, organizational development, and change management. You will work closely with the Head of Strategy, the Senior Advisor Asset Management, the Management Team, the Delegated Asset Owner (GAO), and various stakeholders within the organization. You are the director of change: you bring parties together, monitor progress, and ensure that improvements are sustainably anchored within the line organization.
