Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Sr. Software Asset Management Analyst for a large manufacturing organization with a complex and diverse software landscape. This individual will own the end-to-end cataloging, validation, and documentation of enterprise software, ensuring compliance, reducing redundancy, and establishing scalable processes for license and user management.
The ideal candidate is part technologist, part process builder, and part diplomat — someone who can navigate plant-floor realities, partner cross-functionally, and bring structure to an environment with significant software sprawl.

Daily, this individual will be responsible but not limited to the below:
• Validate and maintain a centralized software catalog across the enterprise
• Identify unused, expiring, shadow IT, or redundant applications
• Track software usage, ownership, versions, and licensing
• Assign, reclaim, and optimize licenses during onboarding and offboarding
• Partner with IT, Security, Procurement, and Plant leadership on software governance
• Analyze software overlap and recommend consolidation opportunities
• Document software processes, standards, and lifecycle workflows
• Maintain audit-ready documentation (entitlements, deployments, rationale)
• Support cost optimization by identifying shelfware and underutilized licenses
• Contribute to intake and new-user software provisioning processes
