• Handle procurement and purchasing: raising purchase requests and orders, tracking approvals, reconciling invoices, and following items through delivery.
• Track and support the team’s operational budget: monitoring spend against tooling and licensing budgets, flagging variances, and maintaining clear, up-to-date records for leadership.
• Coordinate onboarding and offboarding logistics: arranging accounts, hardware, access requests, and tool provisioning for new joiners, and ensuring clean, complete deprovisioning when people move on.
• Maintain hardware and asset inventory: tracking equipment assignments, coordinating repairs and replacements, and keeping accurate records of what the team holds.
• Administer access and account requests: submitting, tracking, and following up on approvals across systems and tools, and keeping shared access records current.
• Keep team documentation and records organized: maintaining trackers, distribution lists, shared drives, standard operating procedures, and other reference materials the team relies on.
• Support compliance and audit readiness: keeping licensing, procurement, and asset records accurate and retrievable, and assisting with periodic reviews and internal reporting.
