Job description

Placement Type:
Temporary
Salary:
$61.80-68.67 Hourly
up to $68.67/hr
Start Date:
Sep 1, 2026
Aquent is proud to partner with a leading global technology organization that stands at the forefront of innovation, constantly pushing boundaries to deliver groundbreaking solutions that shape the future. This organization is renowned for its dynamic environment and unwavering commitment to excellence, making a significant impact on a global scale. Join us and become an integral part of a team that thrives on creativity, collaboration, and driving meaningful change.
Are you ready to make a profound impact by optimizing critical technology investments and ensuring seamless operations across a vast enterprise? We are seeking a highly skilled individual to join this global technology organization, where you will be instrumental in managing the full lifecycle of enterprise software. This is a unique opportunity to apply your expertise in a role that is crucial for driving efficiency, ensuring compliance, and empowering technology teams with the insights they need to make informed decisions. You'll be at the heart of turning complex licensing and usage data into tangible cost savings, reduced risk, and enhanced compliance, directly contributing to the organization's strategic goals. This is not a software engineering role, but one focused on strategic asset management and optimization.
What You'll Do
  • Own and evolve the end-to-end software asset lifecycle, from procurement and entitlement management through deployment, renewal, and retirement.
  • Manage software licensing and compliance across major enterprise publishers.
  • Maintain and improve software asset management processes, data, controls, and governance.
  • Monitor software usage and consumption to identify cost savings, shelfware reduction, license harvesting, and rightsizing opportunities.
  • Support software audits, compliance reviews, renewals, and true-ups by analyzing license entitlements and usage.
  • Partner with Procurement and Legal on software contracts, renewals, negotiations, and vendor management.
  • Work with Technology, Information Security, Enterprise Architecture, Finance, and other stakeholders to ensure software is appropriately licensed and deployed.
  • Translate complex software licensing agreements into practical controls, recommendations, and business insights.
  • Develop reporting and dashboards that provide visibility into software assets, compliance, spend, and optimization opportunities.
  • Identify opportunities to automate and continuously improve software asset management processes.

What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in Software Asset Management, Software Licensing, IT Asset Management, or a closely related discipline within a global or large enterprise environment.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise software licensing models, including user-based, device-based, subscription, SaaS, and cloud licensing.
  • Experience managing software from major enterprise publishers.
  • Hands-on experience with leading software asset management or IT asset management platforms.
  • Experience with software license compliance, audits, true-ups, entitlement management, and/or license optimization.
  • Ability to analyze software usage and licensing data to identify financial savings and compliance risks.
  • Experience partnering with cross-functional teams including Procurement, Legal, Finance, Information Security, Architecture, and Technology.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Nice to Have
  • ITAM/SAM certifications such as CSAM, CITAM, or ISO 19770.
  • Experience leading or defending software vendor audits.
  • Experience with software contract negotiations, renewals, or true-ups.
  • Experience building executive-level reporting and dashboards.
  • Experience developing enterprise software asset management policies, controls, and governance.
  • Experience with automation and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Previous experience supporting a large global enterprise technology organization.

You're analytical, highly organized, and comfortable navigating complex enterprise environments. You understand that effective software asset management is about more than tracking licenses-you know how to turn licensing and usage data into cost savings, risk reduction, compliance, and better business decisions. You're also comfortable working across multiple teams, managing ambiguity, and building relationships with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
