The Impact You’ll Make in this Role

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.

This position requires strong enterprise ITAM leadership experience and a deep working knowledge of Flexera One IT Asset Management and IT Visibility.

  • Accurate and trusted asset visibility
  • Entitlement and license position integrity
  • Audit readiness and compliance posture
  • Technology spend optimization
• Provide leadership oversight of integrations with enterprise systems (e.g., ITSM, procurement, discovery, ERP), ensuring data quality and alignment without acting as a technical integrator.

IT Asset Governance & Entitlements

• Establish and lead enterprise IT Asset Governance, partnering closely with IT, Procurement, Finance, Security, and Legal.
• Own the enterprise approach to software and hardware entitlements, licensing strategy, and compliance risk management.
• Guide vendor audit strategy and executive-level risk discussions.
• Deliver clear, executive-ready reporting on asset health, financial exposure, compliance status, and optimization opportunities.

ITIL, CMDB, and ITSM Alignment

• Ensure IT Asset Management practices are aligned with ITIL-based service management processes.
• 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.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, or technology field (completed and verified prior to start)

• Ten (10) years of experience in IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management, or related enterprise leadership roles in a private, public, government or military environment
