In this role, you will be the custodian of our hardware inventory-overseeing everything from initial receiving and staging to deployment, tracking, and final, secure disposal.

Beyond core logistical duties, you will serve as a vital extension of our IT support team, utilizing your foundational technical skills to handle basic helpdesk requests, provision devices, and assist local users. This dual-impact role ensures our technology assets are tracked flawlessly while maintaining an excellent support experience for our team.

• Deployment & Provisioning: Coordinate the logistics of shipping hardware to remote employees or setting up workspaces for local staff, ensuring all accessories and standard peripherals are included.
• Harvesting & Offboarding: Manage the secure return of IT equipment from departing employees. Clean, inspect, test, and assess returned hardware for redeployment or retirement.
• E-Waste & Secure Disposal: Coordinate the safe and compliant disposal or recycling of legacy hardware. Ensure data sanitization certificates are obtained and filed in compliance with corporate security policies.

Legal Holds & Security Compliance

• Legal Hold Management: Securely isolate, track, and log all hardware placed on active legal holds. Ensure these assets are strictly preserved and exempted from standard data wiping, refurbishment, or disposal cycles.
• Chain of Custody: Maintain an airtight, documented chain of custody for all sensitive or legally restricted hardware in strict accordance with instructions from the Legal and Security teams.
• Policy Enforcement: Strictly adhere to corporate security protocols and legal procedures regarding device handling, data privacy, and evidence preservation.

Basic IT Helpdesk Support

• First-Line Triage: Monitor incoming helpdesk tickets, Slack channels, or walk-up requests, providing basic technical assistance or routing complex issues to tier-2 engineers.
• Hardware Preparation: Perform basic provisioning tasks (e.g., enrolling devices via MDM, imaging laptops, running OS updates, and conducting initial hardware functionality checks).
• Peripherals & Conference Rooms: Troubleshoot basic workplace tech issues, including monitors, docking stations, keyboards, printers, and meeting room AV setups.

Requirements:

• Experience: 1-3 years of experience in IT asset management, warehouse inventory tracking, logistics, or an IT desktop support role.
• Detail-Oriented Mindset: Extreme accuracy in data entry and a passion for keeping spreadsheets, asset databases, and physical storage spaces immaculate.
• Technical Foundations: Basic familiarity with Mac and Windows operating systems, modern hardware components, and standard computer peripherals.
• Customer Service Skills: Excellent interpersonal skills with a helpful, friendly attitude when interacting with employees during hardware handoffs and troubleshooting.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to physically move, organize, and lift boxes of computer equipment (up to 40 lbs) safely and regularly.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience using IT Asset Management (ITAM) or ITSM software (e.g., Snipe-IT, Jira Service Desk, ServiceNow, Freshservice).
• Basic understanding of Mobile Device Management (MDM) concepts (e.g., Jamf, Kandji, Intune) or Cloud Directories.
• Prior experience handling sensitive data destruction protocols or e-waste logistics.
