We are looking for a Project Pursuit Manager to maximize the growth and profitability of Emerson’s Measurement Solutions business across Europe, with a particular focus on greenfield and complex project opportunities.

You will lead strategic pursuits throughout the full project lifecycle, including multi-year project phases where applicable. From early customer engagement and stakeholder value creation through proposal development, final negotiations, and agreement of commercial terms, you will develop and execute pursuit strategies that differentiate Emerson and position us to win.

You will bring together sales, technical, commercial, project management, product management, marketing, and leadership resources to create compelling value propositions and effective winning strategies. You will also strengthen project pursuit excellence across Europe by coaching sales teams, sharing best practices, and supporting the deployment of project pursuit campaigns within designated industry segments.

This position can be based at any Emerson office in Europe, provided the successful candidate is located within reasonable travelling distance of a major international airport.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Identify and qualify strategic greenfield and complex project opportunities, maintain an accurate opportunity funnel in the customer relationship management system, and provide timely input for reliable forecasting.
Develop and execute winning pursuit strategies for large, complex, and potentially multi-year projects, from early engagement through final negotiations and commercial agreement.
Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders, including end users, engineering and construction contractors, original equipment manufacturers, technology licensors, and strategic partners.
Form and lead cross-functional pursuit teams, establishing clear responsibilities, actions, accountabilities, and decision points throughout the pursuit.
