You will be responsible for the entire life cycle of departmental equipment, including purchase, receipt, biennial inventory, movement in location and to different custodians, and proper disposition in accordance with Stanford University policies and the OMB circular A-110 section 34.
Your duties will involve conducting spot physical inventories to maintain/validate data integrity in facility systems of record and supervising the work of team members and contractors that may be used to collect and enter physical data. Your knowledge of the equipment acquisition and accounting principles, asset life cycle management concepts, and knowledge of regulatory compliance under research grants and contracts will be very helpful to your success in this role.
In addition to managing the stock room and IT inventory at multiple locations, you will develop life-cycle management programs for infrastructure assets and other Capital Assets, and incorporate existing asset management processes, tools, and initiatives into a single corporate reporting structure and inventory system in Oracle and ServiceNow. You will coordinate, collect, and/or perform condition assessments of infrastructure assets on an ongoing basis and work with various departments to estimate future costs for replacement, rehabilitation, or general maintenance requirements for all assets using industry standard practices.
You will also review impacts of continued growth of existing assets with consideration to resources required to maintain service levels as well as identify future service expansion and required resources. To perform these duties, you must maintain solid relationships and have knowledge of policies regarding capital equipment from EH&S (Environmental, Health & Safety), ISO (Information Security Office), and the Department of Risk Management (the University self-insurance department).
You will perform cost/benefit analysis and risk management analysis related to asset management and review, refine, and update asset management plans on a tri-annual basis.
Your responsibilities also include maintaining department property records, including purchase orders, quotes, packing lists, shipping records, RMAs (Return Merchandise Authorization), and all paperwork related to lost or stolen equipment. You must file a police report as soon as notified and report all information of equipment theft to the Risk Management Department. At the end of life for equipment, capital or non-capital, you will make on-site preparations for disposals, surplus sales, and trade-ins of equipment for pick-up, working closely with PMO (Property Management Office) and departments requesting assistance.
You will be expected to analyze accounting transactions and information to summarize the current financial position at the unit or organization-wide level, construct and assemble data for decision making, develop conclusions, and present high-level summaries of recommendations.
