Software Asset Manager (Contract)
Location: West London (Hybrid – 3 days office / 2 days home)
Contract: Initial 6 months (with potential to extend or become permanent)
Day Rate: Negotiable
Start Date: ASAP
We're recruiting on behalf of a global enterprise organisation seeking a highly experienced Software Asset Manager to join their IT Asset Management function.
This is not a traditional SAM role focused primarily on tooling or reporting. Instead, we're looking for a genuine software licensing expert with deep knowledge of complex licensing models and the ability to manage compliance across a large, global technology estate where data isn't always complete or consistent.
If you enjoy solving complex licensing challenges, interpreting software agreements and working directly with vendors to minimise risk and optimise spend, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Managing the full lifecycle of software assets across a complex global environment.
- Ensuring software licence compliance and reducing commercial and audit risk.
- Leading vendor software audits and responding to compliance requests.
- Interpreting complex licensing agreements and applying them across diverse technology environments.
- Identifying opportunities for licence optimisation and cost savings.
- Working closely with procurement, legal and technical teams on contract renewals and licensing strategy.
- Developing and improving Software Asset Management policies and governance.
- Producing meaningful compliance, licensing and optimisation reports for stakeholders.
- Advising the business on software licensing best practice and evolving licensing models, including cloud and hybrid environments.
What we're looking for
- 10+ years' experience in Software Asset Management, Software Licensing or a closely related discipline.
- Extensive experience managing complex software licensing across large enterprise environments.
- Strong understanding of major vendor licensing models and compliance requirements.
- Experience supporting or leading software vendor audits.
- Ability to interpret licence agreements and provide practical commercial advice where tooling or inventory data may be incomplete.
- Experience working with SAM platforms such as ServiceNow, Flexera or Snow is advantageous, but this is not a tool administration role.
- Excellent analytical, stakeholder management and negotiation skills.
- A proactive, detail-oriented approach with the confidence to work independently in a complex global organisation.
