Maintain and mature the SAM Pro module in ServiceNow, ensuring accuracy of entitlement, discovery, and consumption data.
Analyze software usage to identify cost savings, eliminate shelfware, and recommend rightsizing or harvesting opportunities.
Partner with Legal and Procurement to support contract negotiations, renewals, and true-ups with actionable license data.
Define and enforce enterprise-wide policies, controls, and processes to mitigate software compliance risk.
Produce executive-level dashboards and reporting to enable governance and drive strategic decisions.
Collaborate with InfoSec, Architecture, and Business Technology teams to ensure approved, secure, and licensed software is deployed.
