Own the intersection of technology, finance, and strategic partnerships.
We’re looking for a Senior Partner & License Manager who thrives in complexity and brings clarity to software licensing at scale. In this role, you’ll drive our software asset strategy, optimize multimillion-euro licensing investments, and act as a trusted partner across IT, Finance, Procurement, and Legal.
If you enjoy turning licensing complexity into business value, negotiating with top-tier vendors, and influencing strategic decisions — this is your seat at the table.
What you can do
− Drive end-to-end license strategy: You own the full lifecycle of software licenses — from sourcing and procurement to optimization, compliance, and renewal. You ensure we stay audit-ready while maximizing value from every contract.
− Shape strategic partner relationships: You build and manage strong relationships with IT vendors, acting as the go-to expert for negotiations, escalations, and long-term value creation.
− Optimize software asset management (SAM): You maintain full transparency over our license landscape, ensuring accurate data, clean entitlement tracking, and continuous optimization across SaaS, subscription, and enterprise licensing models.
− Turn data into business impact: You translate licensing data into clear financial insights — supporting budgeting, forecasting, and cost optimization. You make complex topics actionable for leadership.
− Elevate processes & tools: You continuously improve how we manage licenses and partners.
− Act as a cross-functional connector: You operate at the intersection of IT, Finance, Procurement, and Legal — aligning stakeholders, driving decisions, and ensuring transparency across the organization.
