Why you'll love this job

• As one diverse, high-performing team dedicated to technical excellence, you will focus relentlessly on delivering unrivaled digital products that drive a more reliable and profitable airline. 
• IT Asset Management within the ITSM organization ensures that all technology assets—hardware, software, cloud, and OT—are accurately tracked, governed, and maintained throughout their lifecycle to support reliable service delivery and compliance. ITAM focuses on creating a trusted source of asset data by aligning inventories with discovery tools, CMDB structures, and operational processes, enabling better decision making, cost control, and risk reduction. This role emphasizes data integrity, platform reliability, and lifecycle enforcement by monitoring discovery pipelines, analyzing discrepancies, and engineering durable automation to resolve systemic issues. By partnering with engineering, cybersecurity, procurement, audit, and operations teams, ITAM enhances visibility into the technology estate, reduces risk, improves decision-making, and ensures assets effectively support business and IT objectives.
