Wipro Consulting is seeking a Senior Manager with deep domain expertise in Industrial Assets to join the Energy, Manufacturing & Resources (EMR) practice. In this role, you will serve as a trusted C-suite advisor to leading energy and industrial clients, shaping the strategic agenda for asset-intensive operations — spanning asset integrity management, reliability engineering, maintenance optimization, and the digital and operating-model transformation of the asset base. You will translate enterprise strategy into executable transformation roadmaps that unlock measurable value across throughput, cost, capital efficiency, and reliability.

You will lead cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact, value-led engagements for global clients across the oil and gas, petrochemicals, and industrial sectors. The ideal candidate combines strong consulting and commercial acumen with hands-on experience in industrial asset management, leveraging AI, GenAI, IoT, and advanced analytics to reinvent how clients operate and extract value from their assets — from opportunity identification through execution and scale.
