Position Overview
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, moving the program from initial implementation into stable, ongoing operations
- Establish and enforce a hardware governance framework, including a governance board, ensuring standards stay current against the market and defined personas
- 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, including managing global VAR vendor relationships
Catalog and Standards
- Define and implement persona-based hardware standards and device catalog tiers, informed by industry practice
- Evaluate customization and upgrade requests on technical merit, distinguishing genuine need from preference
- 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, from request and procurement through deployment, recovery, refresh, and secure disposal
- Personally drive improvement of current asset database accuracy (approximately 60-70 percent today) and establish standards for data matching, reconciliation, and quality
- Integrate asset management with discovery, endpoint management, identity, CMDB, procurement, and disposition systems, and align asset data with core ITSM processes
- Drive automation of asset tracking and reconciliation workflows to reduce manual effort
Financial Strategy
- Lead hardware asset financial planning, including budgeting, forecasting, and spend analysis, with CapEx versus OpEx fluency
- Own financial reconciliation against purchasing, accounts payable, the fixed-asset register, and general ledger, resolving variances in cost, ownership, and capitalization
- Develop and report on asset management KPIs and dashboards for senior leadership
Minimum Qualifications
- Minimum 7 years of experience owning enterprise asset management programs end-to-end. Not just project managing them, but accountable for outcomes and deliverables over multiple years, and can speak to this experiences
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in a relevant field
- Demonstrated experience operating at large enterprise scale (e.g., 50,000+ managed assets), including the systems, process rigor, and stakeholder complexity that scale requires
- Hands-on experience with CMDB/ServiceNow data integration, including data hygiene, accuracy, and governance practices across device- and asset-level records
- Demonstrated ability to manage the full asset lifecycle (procurement, provisioning, refresh, redeployment, disposition) across device types, including mobile devices
- Experience setting up or operating within formal change management processes (e.g., ITIL change/release management)
- An engineering mindset toward process and systems: comfortable applying structured, repeatable approaches to workflow design and systems integration
- Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and contract or vendor cost management
- Ability to build and present materials for senior leadership, including governance documentation (RACI, SLAs, XLAs) and program status/metrics
- 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 and driving change across regionally distributed teams
- Experience with AI toolsets as its related to assets, systems, and asset data (CIs, etc.) a plus

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Software Asset Management
Frame your credentials around U.S. specialty occupation standards
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 visa purposes, but your transcript and any certifications like CSAM or IAITAM should explicitly map to the job description's required field of study.
Target employers with active software compliance programs
Mid-to-large enterprises running SAP, ServiceNow, or Microsoft EA agreements need dedicated SAM professionals and are more likely to sponsor. Search DOL LCA disclosure data to confirm which employers have filed for similar IT governance roles recently.
Clarify the SAM role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Not every SAM job posting is written to reflect a bachelor's degree requirement. Before applying, verify the listing states a specific degree field is required, not just preferred. A 'preferred' degree can complicate your E-3 petition at the consulate.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork. The LCA must be DOL-certified before your consulate appointment, and errors in prevailing wage documentation are a common rejection trigger for specialist IT roles.
Negotiate employer filing responsibilities before accepting an offer
The E-3 requires your employer to file the LCA with DOL and provide a support letter before your consulate interview. Confirm during the offer stage that HR understands this obligation, many smaller employers have never sponsored an E-3 and may push back unexpectedly.
Prepare for consulate questions on software licensing scope
Consular officers may ask how your role requires a degree-level education rather than vendor training alone. Prepare a one-page summary tying your SAM responsibilities, license compliance, contract negotiation, audit defense, directly to your academic background and professional credentials.
E-3 Visa Software Asset Management: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Software Asset Management jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search for SAM roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. General job boards rarely filter by visa type, and you can waste weeks applying to roles where sponsorship was never on the table. Migrate Mate surfaces positions specifically relevant to Australian professionals seeking E-3 sponsorship, saving you the guesswork.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Software Asset Management role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the job requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as information systems, computer science, or business information technology. The role must require theoretical and practical application of that degree, not just vendor certifications or on-the-job training. If the posting says degree 'preferred,' that creates ambiguity USCIS and consular officers may question.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Software Asset Management professionals?
The E-3 has no annual lottery, no cap backlog, and can be filed any time of year, unlike the H-1B visa, which is subject to an annual lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate. For Australian SAM professionals, the E-3 is a far more predictable path. You can start a role, renew indefinitely in two-year increments, and avoid the multi-year wait that H-1B candidates face.
What happens if my employer has never sponsored a visa before?
Many SAM employers are mid-size IT or enterprise software companies unfamiliar with the E-3 process. The employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and provide a support letter for your consulate appointment. Neither step requires USCIS approval, which makes the E-3 faster and less intimidating for first-time sponsoring employers than petitions like the H-1B.
