About The Role

We’ve got an opportunity for a Technology Asset Manager to join the Technology team at our support centre in Bradford.

In this role you'll ensure that Morrisons’ software licence entitlement position (what licences do we own) and deployment position (what licences do we use) are understood and managed and that cases of under-licensing and non-usage are identified. You'll be advising on the purchase and use of software, in each case in order to minimise expenditure on software and risk of non-compliance with licences, and to maximise return on investment in software. You also be responsible for hardware asset processes and managing a team to ensure that processes are being followed (eg return of laptops).

• Lead the ongoing adoption and benefit realisation of the Snow licensing tool

• Provides regular insights and reporting to key stakeholders around licence compliance and usage, advising Technology leadership team on strategies
