• Support receiving, deployment, return, replacement, repair, warranty, and decommissioning processes from an asset-tracking perspective
• Assist with device and technology expense management, helping the organization understand what devices/assets it has, where they are located or assigned, and what associated costs are being incurred
• Review asset, inventory, usage, and expense information to identify discrepancies, unused assets/services, unnecessary spend, or areas where costs may be increasing
• Help reconcile technology assets and inventory against invoices, expenses, and internal records to ensure the organization is not paying for devices or services that are no longer needed or in use
• Support mobile/wireless asset and expense tracking as needed, including maintaining visibility into corporate devices, associated usage, and expenses

• Experience tracking IT assets, hardware, devices, inventory, or other technology equipment throughout its lifecycle
• Understanding of the relationship between asset/inventory data and technology expenses, with the ability to identify discrepancies and maintain accurate records
• Experience working within procurement, ERP, ITSM, asset management, inventory, or financial systems
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple requests, priorities, and follow-ups simultaneously
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate procurement and asset records
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with IT, Accounting/Finance, internal business teams, and external suppliers
