About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lifecycle & Inventory Management: Maintain a centralized, accurate repository of all software licenses, entitlements, and deployments.

- Financial & Commercial Stewardship: Collaborate with Finance to track software spend against the annual budget and provide data-driven forecasting for future requirements. Support Procurement during contract negotiations by providing accurate usage data and technical requirements. Analyse licensing models (e.g., SaaS, Perpetual, Core-based, User-based) to recommend the most cost-effective options.
- Technical Advisory: Maintain a high-level understanding of the IT ecosystem (Servers, Cloud instances, Databases, and Networking) to accurately track how software is deployed across the environment. Advise stakeholders on the licensing implications of infrastructure changes (e.g., moving a database from on-premise to the cloud).
