* Conducting regular software verification and audits, reconciling software license entitlements against purchase records and usage data to maintain an updated view of the company's Effective License Position.
* Collaborating with Head of IT Services and CIO, providing essential information for annual planning and tracking estimates versus actual spend to support IT department financial management objectives.
* Embedding IT strategy into asset lifecycle planning to align with department strategic objectives.
* Remediating software licenses that are operating outside of entitlements, addressing non-compliance issues with urgency.
* Engaging stakeholders on IT asset-related matters, providing reporting, and driving action as required.
How could you add value:
* ITIL certification, demonstrating a strong foundation in IT Service Management.
* Familiarity with ITAM principles is desirable.
* Proven experience in onboarding and managing suppliers, with a solid understanding of EULAs and T&Cs.
* Strong relationship building skills, enabling effective collaboration with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
