As the central IT function serving a portfolio of 360+ global businesses, we run a modern, cloud-forward infrastructure estate-and we are building the data and automation foundation to match it. The Director, IT Asset Management & Automation will architect and deliver that foundation. This is a hands-on technical leadership role-not a CMDB custodian position. The focus is integration engineering, automation, and data quality across a complex, multi-source ITAM environment. Our primary platform is currently ServiceNow, but we are actively evaluating alternatives; platform-agnostic thinking is essential. The right candidate thinks in data flows, builds in APIs and automation frameworks, and has the vision to drive a multi-year roadmap toward AI-enabled IT operations. This is a rare opportunity to define the automation strategy for a world-class infrastructure organization at scale. What You Will Own Team Leadership You will directly manage three asset management professionals: * Software Asset Manager - responsible for license compliance, SaaS utilization, and software lifecycle * Hardware Asset Manager (End User) - manages PCs, laptops, and end-user devices via HAM in ServiceNow * Hardware Asset Manager (Infrastructure) - manages servers, network devices, infrastructure, and services You will actively develop this team toward higher-value, automation-focused work-shifting them away from manual reconciliation and toward operating as data-informed asset stewards. ITAM Integration Architecture & Live Data Pipelines Our asset data lives across many systems-ServiceNow (HAM, SAM, CMDB), a separate network device ITAM platform (NetBox), cloud platforms, endpoint management tools, and a cybersecurity vulnerability suite that is not yet integrated. Your job is to bring it all together. * Design and deliver a federated asset data platform ingesting from cloud-native inventory services (AWS Config, Azure Resource Graph, Google Cloud Platform Asset Inventory), SaaS management platforms, endpoint management APIs (Intune, Jamf, Kandji), and identity/directory systems (Entra ID, Okta) * Connect and normalize data from our separate network device ITAM platform into the central configuration management platform-eliminating the current silo * Integrate the cybersecurity team's vulnerability and endpoint detection suite as an additional data source for asset visibility and risk correlation * Build real-time and event-driven integrations that normalize, deduplicate, and synchronize asset data across the enterprise-replacing manual imports and spreadsheet reconciliations * Triangulate across many incomplete or partial data sets to produce a reliable, unified asset record; our data is often incomplete and distributed, and success requires knowing how to wrangle and reconcile it * Evaluate and participate in our current platform selection process; we are conducting requirements gathering and evaluating alternatives to ServiceNow-you will help assess options and own the technical migration plan and execution * Own the technical integration roadmap end to end, from quick wins to multi-year architecture Data Quality, Hygiene & Automation * Own IT asset data accuracy and completeness-not just as a governance concern but as an active engineering problem * Automate data collection, enrichment, and reconciliation processes across all asset categories; reduce reliance on manual updates and periodic audits * Partner with Finance and Procurement stakeholders (who sit within the same broader organization) to streamline ITAM workflows and align asset data with financial and vendor management processes * Work directly with engineering and security stakeholders to ensure asset data reflects operationally meaningful, accurate, and actionable information * Explore and integrate Cloud FinOps data as a complementary asset and cost visibility layer Automation & AI-Enabled Operations * Drive adoption of automation and AI tooling for IT operations tasks-asset governance, anomaly detection, lifecycle alerting, and policy enforcement * Partner with the organization's automation engineering team to leverage existing toolkits and establish integration best practices across the broader I&O organization * Move the team progressively from rule-based automation toward AI-assisted and AI-driven workflows, with measurable reduction in manual effort * Serve as the team's in-house AI thought leader-staying current on AI and LLM developments, setting aside dedicated time to learn and experiment, and applying new capabilities pragmatically to ITAM and automation problems * Participate in enterprise-level AI thought leadership as the function matures Cross-Functional Influence * Operate as an integration engineering leader within the broader 60-person I&O organization-partnering laterally with Cloud, Identity, Networking, Security, SRE, and Unified Communications engineering leads without relying on formal authority * Collaborate with the ServiceNow developer embedded in our group and with the ServiceNow platform owner (Nicole Conroy) to coordinate on platform decisions and integration work * Engage senior executives in Charlotte and New York, providing clear updates on automation initiatives, roadmap progress, and business value delivered ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
