This is a role where attention to detail meets big-picture impact. You’ll ensure compliance, bring visibility into usage and costs, and optimize how we work with vendors and contracts. This is a hands-on role where you will need to roll up your sleeves and be hands on in everything from contract negotiations to license controlling. You’ll have the freedom to shape the function, but also the responsibility to make it stick.

• Develop processes, reporting, and dashboards that bring visibility to license usage and costs. 

• Drive vendor negotiations and renewals with data-driven insights 

• Safeguard compliance with vendor contracts, audits, and regulatory requirements. 

• Partner with Finance and Procurement to budget, forecast, and optimize license spend. 

• Stay on top of trends in software licensing, cloud, and SaaS to anticipate risks and opportunities. 

• Responsible for our SAM Tool 

Your Background 

• Proven experience in IT Asset Management or Software Asset Management. 

• Strong knowledge of major licensing models (Microsoft, SAP, or similar). 

• Analytical skills and attention to detail – you understand the fine print and spot opportunities. 

• Strong collaboration and communication and negotiation skills.

• Ability to engage with stakeholders across IT, Finance, Procurement, and business units. 

• Ability to translate complex license terms into clear business language. 

• Proactive mindset with the curiosity to improve processes and prevent problems before they happen. 

Why join us? 

• Be part of a global IT organization that is investing in insourced capabilities, modern platforms, and agile ways of working. 

• Work in an environment where your expertise will have a direct impact on compliance, cost savings, and business enablement. 

• Join a culture that values transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. 

• Opportunity to shape how we manage and govern one of IT’s most costly and critical areas. 

What We Offer 

• Private medical care (Medicover). 

• Flexible hybrid work model: 3 days in the office, 2 days remote. 

• Employment contract with a gross monthly salary range of 19.000-23.000 PLN.
