Enterprise Asset Manager (CBP)

Agile Defense•Ashburn, VA

7d•Onsite

About The Position

U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs continuous operations across more than 300 land, air, and sea ports of entry, plus Border Patrol stations and the Air and Marine Operations Center. Every one of those sites has equipment on it, and every network engineer, mobility technician, and field deployment analyst on this program is depending on that equipment being accounted for: what exists, where it is, what state it is in, and who is responsible for it. When that picture is wrong, the cost shows up somewhere else, as a device nobody can find during an audit, a refresh that misses a site because it was not on the list, or a security finding tied to hardware that was supposed to be retired months ago. You own that picture. You will build and run the program's approach to tracking assets across their lifecycle, from acquisition through retirement, and work with network, cloud, mobility, and security teams who all depend on your data being right. One thing is worth knowing before you apply. Asset management only matters if people actually use the system of record instead of working around it, and getting a program this size to do that is a change management problem as much as a data problem.

Requirements

Owned an asset or configuration management program at a scale where nobody could track it manually and be right.
Gotten technical teams to actually update a system of record instead of working around it, and can describe how.
Supported an audit or compliance review as the person whose data got checked.
Worked with procurement and lifecycle processes, not only with the inventory tool itself.
Comfortable with the asset and configuration management platforms common in federal environments, and are not dependent on one specific tool.

Nice To Haves

Active CBP Background Investigation (CBP BI) and EOD strongly preferred.
Hold an active CBP BI, a fitness determination at another DHS component, or an active DoD clearance.
