• Produce asset reports, dashboards and data quality KPIs covering inventory, lifecycle status, warranties, EOL/EOS, utilisation and compliance.
• Support financial reconciliation between the IT asset register and Finance's fixed asset register, including capitalisation, depreciation and cost information.
• Maintain accurate procurement, vendor, warranty and support contract information.
• Support internal and external audits, providing accurate data, evidence and audit trails.
• Work with operational and technical teams to improve discovery coverage and resolve data discrepancies.
• Develop and maintain data standards, validation rules, naming conventions and governance processes.
• Identify opportunities for automation and process improvement to reduce manual effort and improve data accuracy.
• Provide clear, actionable insight and recommendations to HAM/ITAM leadership and wider stakeholders.

• Experience producing asset reports, dashboards and data quality metrics.
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong focus on data accuracy and integrity.
• Understanding of data governance, data standards, validation and audit requirements.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain data issues and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable

• IAITAM certification such as CHAMP, CSAM or CITAM.
