What you'd actually do

  1. Facilitate the end-to-end journey of hardware (servers, storage, network gear, racks). You’ll track and document data center asset receipts, moves, adds, changes, and decommissioning.
  2. Manage and maintain the metadata, lineage, and lifecycle data integrity of our physical assets. You’ll ensure these are accurate and consistent across systems.
  3. Conduct regular audits and reconciliations between physical inventory and system records. You don’t just find discrepancies, you fix the root cause.

You’ll establish and maintain data governance standards, making it easy for business users to discover the data they need by documenting definitions, sources, and business rules.
