Job description

Scope:

• Manage enterprise software assets through ServiceNow SAM Pro, ensuring license compliance, reconciliation, and entitlement accuracy.

• Drive cost optimization, audit readiness, and software asset lifecycle management across the organization.

What youll do:

Entitlement & Procurement Partnership

• Partner directly with Procurement to create and maintain software entitlements in SAM Pro corresponding to new purchases, renewals, and true-ups
• Ensure entitlement records (license type, metric, terms, quantities, purchase order/contract references) are accurate and complete at time of intake

Software Model & Normalization

• Determine and configure the software models required in SAM Pro to correctly match discovered installations, including publisher/product normalization and handling of complex suite or edition variants
• Maintain and troubleshoot normalization rules so discovered software consistently maps to the correct model

Reconciliation Management

• Manage software reconciliation definitions and schedules to verify that Effective License Positions (ELPs) are returning accurate, defensible results
• Investigate reconciliation discrepancies, unmatched installations, and orphaned entitlements; tune reconciliation logic as needed

Remediation & Application Partnership

• Partner with application owners and end users to research and resolve remediation issues (e.g., unauthorized installs, missing entitlements, incorrect model assignment)
• Track remediation tasks through to closure and document resolution outcomes

SaaS Usage & Reconciliation

• Review SaaS subscription and usage data feeds; verify that SaaS reconciliation results accurately reflect actual consumption against contracted entitlements
• Identify gaps between provisioned SaaS seats and active usage

• Prepare summarized compliance positions for stakeholders ahead of renewal discussions

Optimization & Savings

• Analyze software usage data to identify reclamation, downgrade, and consolidation opportunities
• Quantify and document potential cost savings positions based on usage trends and license entitlement gaps

Microsoft 365 License Management

• Monitor M365 license assignment and reclaim unused reservations as appropriate

What We are looking for:

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience with ServiceNow SAM Pro (configuration, not just reporting)
