YOUR IMPACT

This position is for a global Software Auditor and Inventory Analyst who will play a key role on the OpenText Compliance Management Team. The compliance team is responsible for protecting the Intellectual Property and contractual rights associated with software produced across all business lines.

The auditor carries significant responsibility in the license verification process. This individual will be responsible for the collection of data and the creation of complete, accurate, and verifiable reports that reflect a customer’s software deployment. These reports are mission-critical, forming the basis of the team’s assessment of license compliance.

This position requires significant experience and understanding of software discovery methodologies and tools, audit best practices, inventory data analysis, and project management. The ideal candidate will also have a deep understanding of how software is deployed, managed, and distributed across large enterprises. Experience with reading and interpreting software contracts and license agreements—and formulating audit strategies based on those terms—is also required. Direct, face-to-face experience working with customers in high-stakes environments is a key advantage in this role.
