[Hiring] Enterprise Asset Program Manager @Autodesk

Role Description

The Enterprise Asset Program Manager is responsible for implementing, operationalizing, and owning Autodesk's enterprise hardware asset management capability across PCs, Macs, mobile phones, and other end-user hardware. This role serves as the accountable owner for establishing accurate, governed asset data as the trusted system of record across the full lifecycle, from catalog and standards definition through governance, financial strategy, and cross-departmental asset architecture.

This is a hands-on role. The person in this seat will personally build and operate these processes, carrying forward and executing on recommendations from a recent external assessment of Autodesk's fulfillment, distribution, and ITAD practices, not simply direct others toward them. The role is structured as an individual contributor today; prior experience leading people or cross-functional programs is valued for how someone approaches ownership and accountability, even without direct reports in this seat.

This role owns asset management for a global population of approximately 21,500 employees and contingent workers, covering an estimated 60,000+ devices across computers, mobile phones, and loaner and spare inventory. The role oversees a significant, multi-million dollar annual hardware program and is accountable for continuing this function's demonstrated track record of cost discipline and savings.

Responsibilities

• Asset Program Architecture and Governance:
  • Define the program's strategy, roadmap, and operating model, including cross-functional roles and governance cadences with Finance, Procurement, and Security.
  • Establish and enforce a hardware governance framework, including a governance board.
  • Own and mature the customization and exception governance process for requests outside standard catalog offerings.
  • Work across departments that use end-user hardware in an advisory and architectural capacity.
  • Manage global VAR vendor relationships.
• Catalog and Standards:
  • Define and implement persona-based hardware standards and device catalog tiers.
  • Evaluate customization and upgrade requests on technical merit.
  • Build a compliance and security vetting process for new hardware models with the security team.
• Lifecycle Operations and Data Accuracy:
  • Establish consistent controls across the full hardware lifecycle.
  • Drive improvement of current asset database accuracy (approximately 60-70 percent today).
  • Integrate asset management with discovery, endpoint management, identity, CMDB, procurement, and disposition systems.
  • Drive automation of asset tracking and reconciliation workflows.
• Financial Strategy:
  • Lead hardware asset financial planning, including budgeting, forecasting, and spend analysis.
  • Own financial reconciliation against purchasing, accounts payable, the fixed-asset register, and general ledger.
  • Develop and report on asset management KPIs and dashboards for senior leadership.

Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of experience owning enterprise asset management programs end-to-end.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in a relevant field.
• Demonstrated experience operating at large enterprise scale (e.g., 50,000+ managed assets).
• Hands-on experience with CMDB/ServiceNow data integration.
• Demonstrated ability to manage the full asset lifecycle across device types.
• Experience setting up or operating within formal change management processes.
• An engineering mindset toward process and systems.
• Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and contract or vendor cost management.
• Ability to build and present materials for senior leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with HR, Finance, Procurement, Security, and technical stakeholders.
• People leadership or management experience is a plus but not required for this role.
• Comfortable operating globally across time zones.
• Experience with AI toolsets related to assets, systems, and asset data is a plus.

Benefits

• Health and financial benefits.
• Time away and everyday wellness.
• Competitive compensation package, including a starting base salary between $81,000 and $145,200.
• Annual cash bonuses, commissions for sales roles, stock grants, and a comprehensive benefits package.
