SAM Remediation Lead £600 per day via Umbrella - 3-month contract - Remote - SCC Flex Contract
We're seeking an experienced SAM Remediation Lead to drive a large-scale Java discovery, assessment, and remediation programme. This role combines Software Asset Management, licensing risk assessment, and technical remediation leadership, working closely with technical teams, application owners, and stakeholders to reduce operational, technical, and commercial risk associated with Java usage.
Your responsibilities as the SAM Remediation Lead:
- Lead the Java remediation strategy, including uninstall, upgrade, replacement, and defining migration paths (OpenJDK, Azul).
- Analyse Java installations via Snow Atlas, validate usage with owners, and assess overall footprint, complexity, and risk.
- Identify licensing, contractual, and vendor dependencies; advise on Java licensing risk and prioritise high-risk areas.
- Coordinate remediation across technical teams, managing exceptions, risks, and stakeholder alignment.
- Serve as main contact for the Java remediation workstream, ensuring clear communication of plans, risks, and dependencies.
- Produce concise executive-level reporting on headline risks, priorities, recommendations, and progress.
- Support delivery planning, including timeline shaping, scoping of remediation effort, and resource alignment.
As a successful SAM Remediation Lead, you will have:
- Hands-on experience analysing Java estates using Snow Atlas or similar SAM/inventory tools, with strong background in remediation, rationalisation, and Java removal/upgrade actions.
- Good understanding of Java licensing models, vendor changes, and associated risk, with the ability to interpret inventory data into actionable remediation steps.
- Proven stakeholder skills: collaborating with technical, operational, and business owners to validate usage, agree remediation plans, and manage exceptions.
- Clear communicator able to translate technical and licensing risk into concise, executive-level recommendations and reporting.
- Experience in large enterprise environments, ideally with SAM/ITAM, compliance, or optimisation responsibilities and familiarity with the Java ecosystem.
- Background in remediation programmes, application modernisation, or technology risk reduction.
