Some roles may also be subject to nationality requirements where these are necessary to meet UK Government or contractual security obligations.

The 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.

Aligned 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. This 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.

Develop and maintain data quality KPIs and dashboards to provide visibility of asset data health to stakeholders and leadership. Enforce data standards, naming conventions, classification taxonomies, and mandatory field requirements for hardware asset records. Investigate and resolve data discrepancies, escalating systemic issues to process owners and data source owners. Ensure asset records reflect the current state of the physical estate — not just what was originally procured or deployed.
