Asset Compliance Program Lead, Hardware

Responsibilities

• Design and scale an end-to-end asset-compliance operating model covering acquisition and capitalization, custody and location tracking, transfers, lifecycle events, inventory and verification, impairment or retirement, and audit-evidence retention.
• Define the authoritative asset record and systems roadmap connecting requests, contracts, purchase orders, invoices, receiving, inventory data, physical custody, transfers, and financial records.
• Establish ownership and control points across internal teams, suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, and other third-party custodians.
• Build lifecycle reconciliations and a scalable verification model across internal and third-party sites using risk-based inventories, sample testing, attestations, and corrective-action tracking.
• Identify missing records, ownership or location gaps, unrecorded transfers, unresolved exceptions, and incomplete audit evidence.
• Establish an initial baseline of asset exposure and control gaps, then prioritize remediation based on financial, operational, custody, and reporting risk.
• Use process, system, workflow, automation, and AI-enabled improvements to prevent recurring issues and improve stakeholder experience.
• Shape policy, standards, and governance improvements using operational evidence, implementation insight, and risk findings.
• Define executive reporting on asset completeness, control performance, audit readiness, remediation progress, and emerging risks.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in hardware operations, supply chain, manufacturing, asset management, procurement operations, audit, risk and controls, or a similarly control-intensive environment.
• Experience owning or improving end-to-end asset, custody, inventory, or third-party control processes.
• Experience in complex hardware environments, including contract manufacturing, supplier- or third-party-held assets, manufacturing equipment or tooling, global custody, logistics, or physical inventory and verification.
• Systems fluency with ERP platforms such as SAP or Oracle and data flows among procurement, purchase orders, invoices, receiving, inventory, asset records, and the general ledger.
• Experience defining or improving asset-management, workflow, reporting, or control systems.
• Experience establishing audit readiness through risk-based testing, reconciliations, evidence reviews, and remediation.
• Ability to build practical operating models from ambiguity and influence senior stakeholders and third parties without formal authority.
• Practical judgment using AI for analysis, documentation, exception management, or workflow design while maintaining data protection, human review, and validation.
• Ability to turn complex, fragmented operations into practical standards, clear ownership, and scalable operating routines.
• Ability to balance detailed problem-solving and cross-functional influence with financial accuracy, audit readiness, risk management, and an enablement-focused approach.
