• Analyze discovery feeds, manual updates, and change records to reconcile data discrepancies and drive corrective actions that improve CMDB completeness and accuracy.
• Plan and execute configuration audits and certifications, compare CMDB data to actual infrastructure and application inventories, and oversee remediation with owning teams.
• Configure and use ITSM/CMDB tools to build queries, reports, and dashboards that support impact analysis, risk assessment, and operational decision‑making.
• Ensure change, incident, and problem records are correctly associated with CIs to improve traceability, root cause analysis, and reporting on service impacts.
• Define, monitor, and report on CMDB data quality metrics, and partner with stakeholders to implement governance, standards, and training that sustain data integrity.
• Contribute to configuration management plans, procedures, and work instructions, aligning them with ITIL practices and enterprise policies for a regulated federal IT environment.

• 4-7 years of experience in configuration management, service management, or related IT operations roles, including hands‑on CMDB administration and data quality improvement.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of ITIL‑aligned service asset and configuration management concepts and their integration with incident, change, and problem processes.
• Experience using enterprise ITSM/CMDB platforms (such as ServiceNow or similar) to maintain CIs, manage relationships, and build operational and audit reports.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance, with U.S. citizenship required.
• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple technical and business teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting or leading an enterprise CMDB implementation, including discovery, service mapping, or integration with other IT operations tools.
• ITIL Foundation or higher‑level ITSM certification validating formal knowledge of configuration and related processes.
