About the role

  • You keep an overview of our license inventory across the entire DATAGROUP group — no matter how many vendors are involved.
  • You master our licensing systems and tools without letting them master you.
  • You ensure our IT systems are cleanly licensed — legally sound and economically sensible.
  • You develop licensing strategies that elegantly balance availability, compliance and costs.
  • You maintain the central contract and license database and produce reports.
  • You are the first point of contact for our DATAGROUP companies on all license-related questions.
  • You take on licensing management projects and reliably coordinate the threads between group companies and internal teams.
  • You support contract negotiations and license renewals — bringing technical expertise and strong relationships with internal and external partners.

Requirements

  • You have several years of experience in IT license management, ideally in a datacenter environment, and operate confidently in that context.
  • You are thoroughly familiar with the licensing models of Microsoft, VMware, SUSE/Red Hat and Citrix — you know what matters.
  • You have experience with software deployments while always keeping track of license usage and license costs.
  • You are well versed in contract negotiations and the relevant legal frameworks and act with confidence.
  • You apply your ITIL knowledge in a targeted and effective way.
  • You can quickly grasp complex issues, prepare them clearly and communicate them understandably.
  • You possess negotiation skills, strong analytical abilities and a solid conceptual understanding — accompanied by a professional demeanor.
  • Language skills: German at least C1 level; English negotiation-capable (business fluent).
Benefits
  • Individual onboarding with a personal mentor — you won’t be thrown in at the deep end.
  • No two days are the same: demanding, varied, with responsibility — but never boring.
  • Flat hierarchies instead of bureaucratic procedures. Speak up directly.
  • Flexibility the way you need it: hybrid work, flexible hours, additional vacation days — this is reality with us.
  • Modernly equipped offices: height-adjustable desks, two monitors, quiet rooms and open spaces — however you prefer.
  • Bike program & team spirit: whether road bike or e-bike — we’ll help you get rolling. And yes, we celebrate sports together (including sponsorship!).
  • Pension plan? We have one, and it’s generally provided with a company contribution.
  • Well prepared for the future.
  • Our corporate benefits invite you to shop and experience. Become part of our team!
