Role Overview

The Senior Manager, IT Asset Management (ITAM) will lead the strategy, governance, and execution of a global IT Asset Management function within a large, complex enterprise environment. This role is accountable for establishing enterprise standards, driving governance maturity, and ensuring IT assets are managed as strategic business resources across their full lifecycle.

• Own the enterprise approach to software and hardware entitlements, licensing strategy, and compliance risk management.

• Partner with ITSM and architecture teams to ensure asset data appropriately supports the CMDB, service models, and lifecycle workflows.
• Use ITAM insights to strengthen change decisions, service reliability, and financial transparency.
• Influence process and data standards without owning day-to-day ITSM tool administration.

Strategic Value & Continuous Improvement

• Lead continuous improvement of ITAM governance, maturity, and outcomes across the enterprise.
• Drive measurable business value such as reduced audit risk, improved compliance, optimized spend, and improved asset lifecycle decisions.
• Translate technical and operational data into business-focused insights and recommendations for senior leadership.
