THE ROLE We’re seeking a Software Asset Analyst to play a critical role in managing Everpure’s growing SaaS portfolio, strengthening compliance, and enabling operational excellence at scale. You will own day-to-day software asset operations, improve SLAs, and ensure that our governance processes keep pace with Everpure’s growth. As part of the Digital Transformation Group (DTG) – Strategy & Operations, you’ll work alongside the Software Asset Manager and partner closely with stakeholders across Procurement, FP&A, Legal, GISO, IT, and other business units. Your work will directly impact how quickly teams get the tools they need, how effectively we control software spend, and how well we manage security and audit risk.

Support Business Applications Council (BAC) operations as needed by providing data for pre-read materials, documenting outcomes related to software asset impacts, and updating SAM tools and documentation based on BAC decisions. Build out the Knowledge Base, including SOPs, runbooks, templates, FAQs, and self-service resources that help requestors and app owners navigate processes more independently.
