- Managing Salesforce licensing, usage, entitlements and commercial performance.
- Developing licence and usage forecasting models linked to programme growth and roadmap requirements.
- Identifying opportunities to optimise licence utilisation, SKUs, renewals and overall SaaS spend.
- Supporting commercial discussions with strategic suppliers through data-driven analysis and recommendations.
- Working closely with Procurement, Finance, Technology and Programme teams to drive effective supplier governance.
- Providing clear reporting and insights to programme leadership and governance forums.
- Supporting the transition of supplier management capabilities into the future Health operating model.
