Project & Program Management III

ROLE OVERVIEW We are seeking a highly skilled ITAM Operations & Automation Specialist to sit at the intersection of process engineering and automation.

This is a critical role that spans our entire managed IT operations engagement, providing you with the scope to influence and improve processes beyond a single service line.

You will deep-dive into complex operational workflows—particularly within the hardware asset lifecycle, including dock-to-stock receiving, imaging, depot staging, redeployment, reverse logistics, and disposal.

You will be responsible for documenting these processes, then building the automations, data pipelines, and dashboards that make them measurable, efficient, and cost-effective.

What makes this role distinctive is the ability to own the full lifecycle of improvement: the same person who maps the process also writes the script to eliminate manual steps.

This approach ensures that improvements do not stall in the gap between operations teams identifying a problem and development teams working to fix it.

Why this role is unique: Engagement-Wide Impact: You will work across diverse service lines, building the influence needed to implement meaningful change.

Strategic Migration Ownership: You will guide us through a critical platform migration by authoring as-is and future-state workflows, ensuring consistency across parallel systems.

Design Authority: You will serve as the advocate for enhancement and defect requests within our change governance, using data-driven evidence to prioritize critical improvements.

Build for Sustainability: We are looking for an engineering mindset that builds solutions that are well-documented and scalable, ensuring they can be managed and sustained by the team rather than only by their author.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1.

Process Deep-Dives, Workflows & Documentation Analyse and optimize complex operational workflows across the engagement's service lines, going deepest on the asset lifecycle: dock-to-stock receiving, imaging, depot staging, redeployment, reverse logistics and disposal.

Work across service lines the role does not own, building the access and credibility needed to change how another team operates.

Author, maintain and audit standard operating procedures, field operations playbook articles and knowledge base guides, each carrying a revision date and a named owner so currency is verifiable rather than assumed.

Document as-is and future-state process flows for forward and reverse supply chain logistics to support the platform migration, and maintain both procedure sets for as long as the two platforms run in parallel.

Draft and distribute global operations communications so regional technicians and operations leads receive process, policy and tool changes before those changes reach them in production.

Design out the cross-team defect loops — where a data error created by one team surfaces as a fault in another — rather than documenting the workaround and moving on.

Run root-cause analysis on process failures and close the finding back into the procedure. 2.

Data Pipelines, Dashboards & Analytics Build and maintain operational and executive dashboards covering live asset inventory and tier reporting, third-party logistics and reseller inventory positions, and service level and performance scorecards.

Design, validate and maintain the data sources connecting internal databases, spreadsheet repositories and ERP feeds, so reporting is genuinely current rather than reconstructed monthly.

Own data quality at source: identify and resolve systemic anomalies such as pending-hardware order misclassification, inventory discrepancies and vendor serial-number format inconsistencies.

Produce turnaround-time and bottleneck analysis across the asset and part-creation path, so delays can be escalated with evidence and attributed to the step that causes them.

Guard against tooling-induced regressions, where correcting one data set breaks another, by validating downstream impact before and after every change.

Build reporting that answers a decision, and retire dashboards nobody uses. 3.

Custom Tooling & Automation Develop, debug and enhance custom automation using Apps Script and comparable JavaScript scripting with REST API integration — form-to-ticket automation, bulk ticket generation and update, and data validation routines.

Support and maintain internal browser-based extensions and utility applications, including label printing utilities for thermal and desktop label printers, rapid asset lookup, and encryption-status verification.

Maintain the internal tool registry, triage incoming bug reports, and prioritise enhancements on operational return rather than on who asked loudest.

Apply an automation threshold: where a manual process crosses the agreed annual transaction volume, raise a requirements document and move it onto scripted or robotic handling.

Build for handover — documented, owned by the function rather than an individual account, and recoverable if the author is unavailable.

Retire and decommission tooling cleanly when the process it supports changes. 4.

Programme Management & Portfolio Tracking Manage project and portfolio boards and their Kanban cadences, keeping tasks, milestones and deliverables current within the agreed review cadence.

Track, measure and report quantifiable operational improvement — cost avoidance, labour-hour reduction and throughput gain — with the baseline captured before the change, not estimated after it.

Represent operations in change and release governance, carrying enhancement and defect requests through to a scheduled fix and holding the case for those that would otherwise sit at low priority indefinitely.

Manage ad-hoc technical requests and escalations across the enterprise ticketing and issue-tracking queues.

Report programme status and benefit realisation to operations and client leadership, surfacing slippage early rather than at the milestone. 5.
