ITAM Lead 47 views

The purpose of this role is to ensure as an Agency we comply with our software obligations in terms of licenses. The role is also responsible for assessing future need based on known changes as well as advising the SLM on software related issues. The ITAM Lead will also be responsible for creating and maintaining software licensing policies and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance and to optimize license usage to ensure value for money.

The ITAM Lead will ensure that software licenses are updated and assigned to the individual’s asset within the ITSM Tool and the SAM (Software Asset Management) function. Software Licenses are properly controlled and that accurate and reliable information about them is reportable and available when needed.

The role holder will work closely with Suppliers, change managers, request fulfilment, architecture, security, finance, and procurement to ensure that license expiry and renewals are managed in a timely manner. Sufficient licenses are available to avoid any delay in authorising new users, to meet changing requirements and are available to cover the operation of configuration items.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Work in collaboration with the IT Asset Manager in developing and creating Policies and Processes which are aligned to the SDI (Service Desk Institute) best practice to control and manage software assets.
• Hold regular reviews to understand the business need and justification for software, liaising with internal stakeholders and owners in advance of licence renewal, challenging where the need is unclear or not apparent.
• Responsible for procurement of licences where needed through the agreed procurement route.
• Monitor software usage to ensure that licences are still required and relevant to users and are reclaimed where applicable.
• Responsible for ensuring that we have End User Licencing Agreements (EULA), have a full understanding of the terms we have signed to.
