Support & Collaboration:
- Provide central support and technical assistance to network deployment engineers and technicians, ensuring accurate asset recording and adherence to asset management policies during planning and execution of work.
- Act as the primary liaison between the Data Center Infrastructure team and other ERP-related teams (e.g., Finance, Procurement, IT Service Management) to ensure consistent data, processes, and reporting.
- Develop and deliver training and documentation for asset management policies, procedures, and system usage to relevant stakeholders.
Data Analysis & Reporting:
- Generate comprehensive reports on asset status, utilization, depreciation, and lifecycle for management review and decision-making.
- Conduct regular audits and reconciliation of physical assets to ensure data accuracy and compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements.
- Analyze data to identify trends, evaluate the efficiency of departmental practices, and recommend improvements for asset utilization and cost control.
Maintenance & Compliance:
- Manage maintenance schedules and records for critical data center infrastructure assets within the ERP system.
- Coordinate with vendors and service providers regarding asset warranties, repairs, and disposals.
- Support compliance efforts with internal controls and audit requirements related to asset management.

Project Galileo: Since 2014, we’ve equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers–at no cost.
Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we’ve provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.
1.1.1.1: We released1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver.
