Key Responsibilities

• Monitor CMDB health through dashboards and KPIs; identify and remediate duplicate, orphaned, stale, and misclassified configuration items.
• Configure and maintain ServiceNow Discovery, MID Servers, and Service Graph Connectors to automatically populate and update configuration items.
• Build and manage integrations that ingest and reconcile asset and configuration data from sources such as Microsoft Intune, SentinelOne, and Dynatrace into the CMDB.

• Administer Hardware Asset Management (HAM) and Software Asset Management (SAM Pro), including software models, license entitlements, allocation, reclamation, and license compliance.
• Manage contracts, warranties, purchase orders, and vendor/publisher data; track asset costs and support software true-ups, renewals, and audits.
• Define and operate reconciliation processes across endpoint management, security, and observability platforms to maintain a single source of truth as data transitions from SolarWinds to ServiceNow.
• Develop data normalization routines, audit checks, and exception handling; measure, report, and continuously improve data quality metrics.
• Partner with Incident, Problem, and Change Management to ensure CI relationships accurately support impact analysis, blast-radius assessment, and change risk evaluation.
• Support service mapping and the definition of business services, application services, and their dependencies.
• Build reports, dashboards, and Performance Analytics to surface CMDB health, asset compliance, and lifecycle KPIs for IT leadership and stakeholders.
• Ensure configuration and asset practices align with Aprio's IT Asset Management Standard and applicable security and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2).
• Provide accurate, timely asset and CI data to support audits, risk management, and security operations.
• Document standard operating procedures, runbooks, and governance standards, and contribute to the ongoing maturity of the ITSM program.
