The candidate will ensure asset management practices are closely aligned with the firm's broader IT strategy, supporting technology roadmap decisions, informing investment planning, and providing the data foundation needed for initiatives across infrastructure, security, and vendor management.

• Security and Risk Management: Ensure new hardware and software is identified and investigated daily. Ensure compliance with firm security and usage policies.
• Data Analysis: Leverage the existing asset management datasets to look for opportunities, gaps and risks in our current environment. Optimize license utilization and global hardware inventory.
• Hands-on management of NY inventory: Work with the Support team on stockroom audits to ensure that our inventory is accessible and well-maintained.
• Reporting and Documentation: Generate and maintain reports and documentation on asset status to support decision-making and audit requirements.
• Process Improvement: Continuously evaluate and improve IT asset management processes to enhance efficiency and accuracy. Forecast future needs based on current trends. Participate in procurement process improvement projects. Contribute to other projects as needed.
• Training and Support: Provide broad support and training on asset-related topics.
