Job description
Software Asset Management (SAM) plays a vital role in protecting NFU Mutual from risk and ensuring we get the very best value from our technology investments. By managing software licences, subscriptions and software usage data, SAM ensures we’re compliant with complex contracts, able to make informed decisions about spend, and free to focus on innovation and transformation. This is a business-critical area that saves millions of pounds every year.
As a graduate, you’ll join a supportive, expert team at the heart of our Vendor Management function. You’ll learn how to analyse licensing data, interpret contracts, and advise the business on how best to deploy and manage software, driving highest value decisions for least cost. From early tasks like leaver/joiner access controls to bigger challenges such as licensing cloud environments or data centres, you’ll quickly see how your work helps safeguard the business while enabling smarter, more cost-effective solutions.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across IT, procurement, and architecture, as well as external suppliers, giving you exposure to both technical detail and commercial negotiations. Alongside hands-on experience with tools like Snow Software and partner service providers like Computacentre, you’ll also build the confidence to challenge assumptions, present options, and support major programmes such as our Data Centre Exit and migration to Microsoft Azure.
What you can expect:
- Analyse deployment and contractual data to identify risks, compliance gaps, and cost-saving opportunities
- Research new licensing models and advise on their impact, particularly in fast-evolving areas like cloud and subscription services
- Support procurement and vendor management to get the best outcomes from supplier negotiations
- Contribute to business-critical projects where licensing decisions shape architecture and investment choices
You’ll also have the opportunity to complete professional IT certifications such as ITIL and other qualifications relevant to Software Asset Management and vendor management, giving you the knowledge and credibility to thrive in this specialist field.
As a graduate, you’ll be supported by a buddy, mentor and graduate network, and benefit from structured development, regular feedback, and opportunities to gain professional qualifications. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values fresh thinking and empowers you to make a real impact.
