Head of Asset Management

This role leads the IT Asset Management function at Capital.com, delivering it against the strategy and priorities set by the VP of IT Operations. You turn a fragmented setup into a function that actively delivers trusted data and services to the rest of the business, so teams can decide and act on reliable information rather than chase records. You own the IT asset register (Software and SaaS, on-premise solutions, the development stack and hardware, etc.) together with the automation and data services built on top of it, and you are the trusted source of data on assets and spend. You lead a small multidisciplinary team and partner closely with Vendor Management, Security, Finance and IT Operations.

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.
