Create an overview of complex data and contracts as License Manager at the National Police

Are you strong at creating an overview of complex data sets? Do you thrive with analyses, Excel, structure and data-driven decisions? Can you drive processes forward and are you motivated by working at the intersection of IT, finance, contract management and strategic planning?

We are seeking several License Managers who will help build and strengthen license management in the IT area of the Danish Police (Rigspolitiet).

As a License Manager you will be a central part of translating data into insight and ensuring the best possible basis for strategic decisions about software, licenses and IT contracts. You will work with analyses, reporting, compliance, financial assessments and optimization of software usage across the organization.

The professional area is in transition, and with us you will have the opportunity to influence the direction of an area in development and help build a function that has lasting importance for police work. We therefore seek profiles with different backgrounds and experiences who together can contribute to maturing and developing the area.

About the position

In the Danish Police’s Sourcing section we work with managing IT contracts, licenses and preparation of IT tenders. A common thread across tasks is a clear focus on governance, quality and oversight in collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders.

You will play a central role in ensuring that the police’s licenses are managed systematically and on a solid data basis.

• Advise the business on license procurement and drive license tenders.

At the same time you should contribute to making license management more proactive, so we anticipate challenges, optimize software costs and ensure timely tendering of licenses.

Our task and stakeholder landscape is large and complex, and as we are seeking several license managers, it is possible to tailor the position and task composition to match your competences, experiences and ambitions.

We are seeking more profiles with different experience, from operational and operations-oriented experience to more strategic profiles who together can support the building and maturation of the area.
