We are seeking a high‑performing Technology Asset Manager to own the current operational function and drive change through process and technology improvement.

• Help manage the lifecycle of IT assets, including deployment, support and retirement/disposal.
• Assess and advance the firm’s ITAM maturity by establishing repeatable processes, controls and governance that move the function from reactive inventory management toward a proactive, insight‑driven discipline.
• Ensure new hardware and software are identified and investigated daily, and that compliance with firm security and usage policies is maintained.
• Leverage existing asset management datasets to identify opportunities, gaps and risks in the current environment, optimize license utilization and global hardware inventory.
• Work with the Support team on stockroom audits to ensure inventory is accessible and well‑maintained.
• Generate and maintain reports and documentation on asset status to support decision‑making and audit requirements.
• Continuously evaluate and improve IT asset management processes to enhance efficiency and accuracy, forecast future needs based on current trends, and participate in procurement process improvement projects.
• Provide broad support and training on asset‑related topics.

• 2–5 years of experience working with suppliers and asset inventory tracking (vendor management experience outside of inventory tracking is also valued).
• Strong analytical, organizational, and attention‑to‑detail skills.
• Advanced Excel skills working with large data sets; intermediate to advanced PowerPoint skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a demonstrated ability to engage with all levels within an organization.
• Ability to drive process improvements and work effectively with other areas of Technology to implement change and influence positive behavior.
• Ability to learn quickly and fully leverage available technology systems.
• Knowledge of Service Now or an equivalent service‑management platform.
• Knowledge of Axonius is a strong plus.
• Exposure to Microsoft Intune, Lansweeper, Rapid7 or equivalent systems is a strong plus.
• Experience with end‑of‑life disposal policies and procedures is a strong plus.
• Experience with AI products such as CoPilot or Claude is a plus.
