What you'll be doing:

• Ensure all assets held on the JMNIAN account are managed and accounted for in line with JMNIAN Programme Office direction and client accounting procedures using the JMNIAN Master Asset & License Tracker.
• Maintaining records of asset maintenance contracts where applicable and advising JPO with upcoming renewals for their consideration.
• Initiate the JMNIAN procurement process when required, providing quotes for consideration to the JPO or client PM and following through with the purchase once approval is granted.
• Maintaining records of JMNIAN-owned licences and tracking expiry dates and quantities to advise JPO when purchases or renewals need to be considered.
• Ensuring receipt of purchased licences and filing of documentation, such as order confirmations or licence entitlements.

What you’ll bring:

• Some understanding of IT Service Management Principles and process
• Understanding of ITIL Fundamentals
• Understanding of what Asset, Procurement and Licence Management is
• If you are interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are exactly what we’re looking for, please do apply, we’d love to hear from you!
