About this role
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Lifecycle Asset Management
• Create/maintain authoritative records in CMDB/asset tools (ownership, location, status, config, warranty, costs).
• Execute MACD: additions, migrations, swaps, RMAs, and decommissions; coordinate on‑site remote hands.
• Validate demand, place orders (per client process), and track shipment → delivery → acceptance.
• Manage spares/VMI programs; define min/max, reorder points, and placement strategy.
Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination
• Act as the initial point of contact for vendor queries on shipments, access, and documentation.
• Schedule remote‑hands, ERAD/ITAD pickups, and de‑installs; verify certificates of destruction/recycling where required.
• Partner with SCM/Planning to onboard new SKUs/BOMs and maintain catalogs; collaborate with DC Ops/NetEng on capacity plans.
• Run vendor QBRs and track SLAs/OLAs.
Data Integrity & Controls
• Reconcile portals, DCIM, and asset tools; investigate root causes for deltas; correct at source.
• Perform cycle counts and audits; maintain evidence for SOX/ISO/client controls.
• Build dashboards and weekly reports (stock levels, shrinkage, aging RMA, lead times, site health).
Process Improvement & Automation
• Document SOPs/runbooks; remove waste using Lean/5S; pilot barcoding/scan workflows and integrations (e.g., ITSM↔CMDB↔DCIM).
• Drive standardization across regions; contribute to tooling requirements and UAT.
