IT Asset Manager

The key purpose of the IT Asset Manager is to ensure the company makes efficient use of its IT assets, whilst minimising risk and maintaining compliance. You will ensure that appropriate resources and processes are in place throughout the asset lifecycle, to identify current and emerging risks. As the subject matter expert for the continuous improvement of IT asset management processes, you will work closely with key business stakeholders and vendor/suppliers to influence cost effective usage.

• Ensuring software usage compliance through adherence to legal, regulatory, and company security and technology policies.

• Collaborating with Head of IT Services and CIO, providing essential information for annual planning and tracking estimates versus actual spend to support IT department financial management objectives.
• Embedding IT strategy into asset lifecycle planning to align with department strategic objectives.
• Remediating software licenses that are operating outside of entitlements, addressing non-compliance issues with urgency.
• Engaging stakeholders on IT asset-related matters, providing reporting, and driving action as required.
