Head of Asset Management

What You Will Do:

• Lead the IT Asset Management function and deliver it against the strategy and priorities set by the VP of IT Operations.
• Deliver data and services to other functions as the outcome: capture their needs, then build and run the services that meet them, rather than collecting data for its own sake.
• Own the IT asset register across Software and SaaS, on-premise solutions, the development stack and hardware, keeping it complete, accurate and trusted.
• Operate one trusted source of data on assets and spend, and build the Asset Management automation on top of it.
• Keep controls on asset data lightweight and non-duplicated, so trusted data drives real decisions across teams.
• Lead asset-driven budgeting and regular reporting, and provide data services to the Finance department.
• Partner with Vendor Management to optimise procurement and with Security to detect and reduce Shadow IT.
• Direct integration with Atlassian services (Jira, Confluence, Jira Assets and JSM) and the asset data platform (data warehouse plus BI layer).
• Lead integration of purchased solutions to standard, support through change, and clean offboarding (data archival and migration, access removal, service-account disposal, documentation).
• Line-manage and develop the team, setting direction, priorities and quality bars.

Who You Will Work With:

• Vendor Management and Procurement: on spend and procurement optimisation, and on the vendor and contract data that feeds the register.
• Security and IAM: on Shadow IT detection, access and SSO data.
• The Finance department: budgeting, reporting and spend visibility, delivered as a service.
• IT Operations and SysAdmins, and Data / Analytics or central Data Engineering: on data sources and delivery of the asset data platform.
• Service and Business Owners across the company: to capture needs and deliver the data and services they rely on.

What You Bring:

• Proven experience building process systems and keeping them lightweight in a regulated environment; you hold the balance between simplification and control.
• A track record of delivering against an agreed strategy and roadmap while bringing your own judgment to reach the outcome, not just following a brief.
• Deep experience working with large data sets, with a clear grasp of why each item is collected and what decision it serves.
• A record of delivering data services that other departments actually use, not just producing reports.
• Strong understanding of a service model: a function that builds services for others while running its own operations.
• Experience building and then operating data warehouses for applied use.
• Experience in hybrid infrastructure (on-premise plus cloud).
• Excellent stakeholder skills: you can negotiate with business people and with engineers and stay credible to both.

Nice to Have:

• SQL (PostgreSQL and/or BigQuery); you need not build pipelines yourself but should specify, direct and sanity-check them.
  Python and API integration familiarity.
• Experience managing an IT Asset Management (ITAM / SAM) function in a large company.
• Familiarity with BI tools (Looker, Metabase, Tableau or Grafana) and IAM tooling (Okta).
• Fintech, brokerage or banking experience.
