We welcome applications from all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from women, underrepresented groups, and neurodivergent candidates. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process and are dedicated to creating a supportive, accessible environment for everyone.\nHardware Asset Management (HAM) Data Analyst\nLocation: Farnborough (onsite 5 days per week)\nDue to the nature of the work and the customers we support, the successful candidate must be eligible to meet UK Government and contractual personnel security requirements, including the applicable residency requirements for the role, and have the right to work in the United Kingdom. Some roles may also be subject to nationality requirements where these are necessary to meet UK Government or contractual security obligations.\nThe Hardware Asset Management (HAM) Data Analyst is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, integrity, and actionability of hardware asset data across the full asset lifecycle - from procurement through deployment, operation, redeployment, and disposal. This role is the data backbone of the Hardware Asset Management function, providing the trusted information foundation upon which financial, contractual, compliance, and operational decisions are made.\nAligned to ITAM (IT Asset Management) industry standards and frameworks - including ISO 19770, IAITAM best practices, and ITIL 4 IT Asset Management practice - the HAM Data Analyst ensures that hardware asset records are accurate, reconciled, auditable, and continuously improved. The role operates at the intersection of asset management, configuration management, procurement, finance, operations, and compliance.\nThis is not a passive data entry role. The HAM Data Analyst is expected to proactively identify data quality issues, reconcile discrepancies between data sources, challenge inaccurate records, and drive the data maturity of the hardware asset estate to a level that supports confident decision-making.\nKey Responsibilities\nHardware Asset Data Management & Quality\nOwn and maintain the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of hardware asset records within the ITAM tool, CMDB, and associated asset repositories.\nPerform regular data quality audits across hardware asset records - identifying gaps, duplicates, orphaned records, misclassifications, and stale data.\nReconcile hardware asset data across multiple sources including ITAM tools, CMDB, procurement systems, financial systems, discovery tools, and physical audit results.\nDevelop and maintain data quality KPIs and dashboards to provide visibility of asset data health to stakeholders and leadership.\nEnforce data standards, naming conventions, classification taxonomies, and mandatory field requirements for hardware asset records.\nInvestigate and resolve data discrepancies, escalating systemic issues to process owners and data source owners.\nEnsure asset records reflect the current state of the physical estate - not just what was originally procured or deployed.\nHardware Asset Lifecycle Data Tracking\nMaintain accurate records across all stages of the hardware asset lifecycle:\nLifecycle Stage\nData Analyst Responsibility\nRequest & Procurement\nValidate asset data at point of purchase order and goods receipt; ensure procurement records feed accurately into the asset register\nReceipt & Warehousing\nConfirm asset receipt records match purchase orders; validate serial numbers, models, and quantities\nDeployment & Installation\nEnsure deployment records are updated with location, assigned user, CI relationships, and operational status\nIn-Service / Operational\nMaintain current records for location, ownership, status, warranty, support contracts, and configuration changes\nMove / Add / Change (MAC)\nTrack and update records for asset moves, additions, changes, and redeployments\nRedeployment & Reuse\nUpdate records when assets are recovered, refurbished, and redeployed - ensuring full chain of custody\nDecommission & Disposal\nValidate disposal records including data sanitisation evidence, environmental compliance, and certificate of destruction\nEnd of Life / End of Support\nTrack and report on assets approaching or past vendor end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-support (EOS) dates\nDiscovery & Reconciliation\nReconcile hardware asset data between the authoritative asset register and automated discovery tool outputs to identify: Ghost assets - assets in the register but not found by discovery (potentially lost, stolen, decommissioned, or misrecorded).\n Unmanaged assets - assets found by discovery but not in the register (potentially unauthorised, shadow IT, or missed intake).\n Data mismatches - discrepancies in serial numbers, models, locations, ownership, or status between sources.\n\nProduce regular reconciliation reports and drive resolution of discrepancies with operational and support teams.\nWork with infrastructure, network, and endpoint teams to improve discovery coverage and data accuracy.\nSupport physical audit and stock verification activities by providing data extracts, variance analysis, and reconciliation support.\nReporting & Analytics\nProduce regular and ad-hoc hardware asset reports and dashboards covering:Asset inventory by type, location, business unit, status, and lifecycle stage.\nData quality metrics (completeness, accuracy, timeliness, consistency).\nWarranty and support contract coverage and expiry.\nEnd-of-life and end-of-support exposure.\nAsset utilisation and underutilisation indicators.\nCost of ownership and depreciation tracking (in collaboration with finance).\nDisposal and environmental compliance status.\nReconciliation status and variance trends.\n\nProvide data-driven insights and recommendations to the HAM Manager, ITAM Manager, and senior stakeholders.\nSupport financial reporting requirements including fixed asset register reconciliation, depreciation schedules, and capitalisation data.\nDeliver audit-ready data extracts and evidence packs for internal and external audits.\nProcurement & Vendor Data Management\nEnsure hardware asset records are linked to procurement data including purchase orders, invoices, vendors, contract references, and cost centres.\nMaintain accurate warranty and support contract records - including start dates, expiry dates, coverage levels, and renewal status.\nTrack vendor end-of-life and end-of-support announcements and update asset records accordingly.\nSupport procurement and vendor management teams with asset data for contract renewals, volume negotiations, and vendor consolidation analysis.\nValidate that received assets match procurement specifications - flagging discrepancies for resolution.\nFinancial Data Alignment\nEnsure hardware asset records align with financial records - including capitalisation status, depreciation schedules, book values, and cost centre allocations.\nSupport the reconciliation of the IT asset register with the fixed asset register (FAR) maintained by finance.\nProvide data to support total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis for hardware asset categories.\nFlag assets that are fully depreciated but still in operational use, and assets that are on the books but no longer in service.\nSupport financial audit requirements by providing accurate, reconciled asset data with full audit trails.\nCompliance & Audit Support\nEnsure hardware asset data supports compliance with organisational policies, regulatory requirements, and contractual obligations.\nMaintain audit trails for all asset record changes - who changed what, when, and why.\nProvide data and evidence packs for internal audits, external audits, regulatory inspections, and client compliance reviews.\nSupport environmental and sustainability compliance by maintaining accurate disposal and recycling records (e.g., WEEE Directive compliance).\nEnsure data handling and retention practices comply with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) where asset records contain personal data.\nSupport security and risk teams by providing accurate data on asset locations, ownership, and end-of-support exposure.\nProcess & Data Governance\nDevelop and maintain hardware asset data standards, data dictionaries, and data governance documentation.\nDefine and enforce mandatory data fields, validation rules, and data entry standards for hardware asset records.\nIdentify and document data flows between ITAM tools, CMDB, procurement systems, financial systems, discovery tools, and operational systems.\nParticipate in data governance forums and contribute to the organisation's broader data quality and master data management initiatives.\nEnsure data access controls are appropriate -
