About the role
team.blue is hiring a Software Asset & License Manager to build our Software Asset Management (SAM) capability from the ground up. This is a new role in Group IT, created because our software estate — spanning on-prem, SaaS and hybrid across 22 countries — has outgrown spreadsheet-driven license tracking. We want one person owning it end-to-end.
You’ll join the Enterprise Applications team and partner closely with Finance and Procurement to give team.blue full visibility, control and optimisation of software licensing across the group. Your first major deliverable: evaluate the SAM market, select and implement a license management solution that becomes the single source of truth for software entitlements, usage and cost.
This is a strategic, high-visibility role with direct exposure to the Head of Group IT and Group COO — and a rare greenfield mandate to design how a fast-growing European tech group manages software at scale.
Build the SAM capability (first 6–12 months)
Optimise license cost and compliance (ongoing)
Identify and execute cost-saving opportunities — true-downs, unused entitlements, overlapping tools, right-sizing — with measurable savings reported to the COO and CFO
Manage compliance posture for major vendors (Microsoft, Adobe, Atlassian, Autodesk and others) and lead audit defence
Engage stakeholders across technical and non-technical functions, translating licensing and entitlement implications clearly, and actively listening to requirements to ensure tooling and license decisions reflect real customer needs
Hands-on experience with at least one SAM platform (Flexera, Snow, ServiceNow SAM Pro, USU, or similar)
Experience across the full software estate: on-prem, SaaS and hybrid licensing models (per-user, per-core, consumption-based)
Track record of managing compliance and audits with major vendors (Microsoft, Adobe, Atlassian, Oracle, etc.)
Why team.blue, why this role
Team — you'll be part of a 24-person Group IT team that takes craft and collaboration seriously, covering EUS, EUC, Enterprise Apps and Core IT. You're not slotting into a finished structure: SAM is a growth area for us, and the right person will shape how the function matures and scales as the business does.
Right to Work
At any stage, please be prepared to provide proof of eligibility to work in the country you’re applying for. Unfortunately, we are unable to support relocation packages or sponsorship visas.
