Ascension LLC is seeking a Junior IT Asset & Software License Management Analyst to support TSA’s mission-critical hardware and software maintenance renewal environment. This role is ideal for an early-career analyst with strong attention to detail, advanced spreadsheet and reporting skills, and the ability to work in a structured federal IT environment where accuracy, follow-through, and timely communication directly support uninterrupted system operations.

The selected candidate will help maintain hardware/software inventory data, support reporting tools and dashboards, track software license and maintenance renewal information, and generate recurring reports for TSA leadership and government stakeholders. The work supports TSA’s objective of ensuring continuous, uninterrupted support coverage for hardware maintenance agreements, subscriptions, and software/license assets across mission-essential systems. The PWS identifies the key outcome as no lapse in required hardware/software maintenance or license coverage due to contractor performance.

This is a strong opportunity for a detail-oriented analyst who wants to grow in IT asset management, software license management, federal acquisition support, data reporting, and project coordination.

Summary of the Contractor Role

The Junior Analyst will support the Hardware/Software License Management Lead and TSA stakeholders by maintaining accurate inventory records, updating dashboards and reporting tools, supporting renewal tracking, and preparing recurring deliverables. The role requires an organized, self-driven professional who can work with large volumes of asset, vendor, procurement, and renewal data and ensure information is complete, consistent, and ready for government review.

The analyst will help TSA identify hardware and software maintenance requirements, track upcoming end-of-life and end-of-support dates, support cost estimation inputs, and document renewal status. The PWS requires the contractor to manage and acquire hardware maintenance and software license renewals for TSD systems and for new assets accepted by TSA during the period of performance. The Junior Analyst will play a hands-on role in maintaining the data discipline, reporting cadence, and documentation needed to reduce administrative burden, prevent support lapses, and improve the efficiency of the annual renewal process.

The Junior Analyst will:

• Maintain the Hardware/Software Inventory Dashboard and related reporting tools, as required for the Junior Analyst role.
• Generate assigned monthly reports, including Monthly Status Reports, Monthly Renewal Reports, Monthly Expiration Reports, Quarterly Cost Analysis inputs, and other reports as assigned by the Lead.
• Compile and update hardware and software inventory data, including product name, vendor information, purchase date, period of performance, location, TSA asset tag, part number, model number, serial number, quantity, cost of renewal, and purchase order information.

• Support preparation of inventory management reports, hardware/software inventory reports, MOR tracking reports, monthly renewal reports, monthly expiration reports, and quarterly cost analysis reports.
• Validate data across prior-year renewal records, vendor information, maintenance binders, bills of materials, quote data, and government-provided files.
• Identify missing, inconsistent, duplicate, expired, or outdated asset/license data and escalate issues to the Lead for resolution.
• Assist with market research documentation and cost-estimation support by organizing vendor quote data, prior-year cost data, renewal periods, and variance information.
• Prepare tables, trackers, dashboards, and visual summaries using Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, Power BI, PowerPoint, and other approved government tools.
• Coordinate with the Lead, government points of contact, O&M contractor representatives, and vendor contacts to clarify asset, license, support-level, and renewal information.
• Document actions, assumptions, dependencies, risks, issues, and data gaps that could affect timely renewal processing.
• Support purchase audit activities by helping verify that completed purchases match approved MOR requirements, including serial numbers, part numbers, end dates, support levels, license keys, and government point-of-contact information.
• Maintain organized electronic files, version-controlled trackers, and supporting documentation on approved government systems, including TSA iShare or other designated repositories.
• Contribute to process improvement by identifying opportunities to streamline reporting, reduce manual data handling, improve dashboard accuracy, and reduce the risk of missed renewals.
