• Track renewal dates and work with Procurement to begin renewals ahead of expiry.
• Prepare licence budgets and forecasts, support purchase justifications, allocate costs and work with Finance on invoices, provisions and spend reporting.
• Manage domain purchases, renewals, transfers and DNS records, and the full lifecycle of SSL certificates.
• Partner with business users, IT, Information Security, Procurement, Finance and external providers, and maintain process documentation and regular reporting.

Required profile

• At least two years of experience in an IT-related environment such as IT operations, service desk, system administration, DevOps, IT procurement or software licensing.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Organised, detail-oriented and able to handle several requests and priorities at once.
• Comfortable working independently in a geographically distributed team, investigating problems and proposing solutions.

• Extra points: software asset management platforms such as Snow, Flexera or ServiceNow, IT service management or ticketing platforms such as Jira Service Management, user provisioning and Active Directory groups, domain registrar and DNS management, and SAM, ITIL or FinOps certification.

What we offer

• A culture of ownership, trust and learning and development.
• Open communication across cultures, functions and locations.
