Role Summary

A global financial services organisation is seeking a Software Licensing Analyst with strong, hands-on open-source experience. This is a core requirement for the role.

The position focuses on developing and improving processes, controls, and policies that govern how the organisation uses, evaluates, manages, and contributes to open-source software-across both community-driven and commercially supported open-source models.

This role sits within the Technology Engineering Practice function and requires close collaboration with engineering teams and Legal. Candidates must be comfortable analysing licensing implications, understanding how open-source components flow through complex systems, and applying governance standards within large enterprises.

• Assess and clearly explain the implications of open-source licences to both technical and non-technical teams
• Contribute to training and awareness programmes across engineering to improve understanding of open-source licensing and usage
• Document and summarise technical, operational, and legal risks associated with open-source components and licensing terms
• Categorise licences not identified by tooling into licence groups (eg, Permissive, Weak Copyleft, Copyleft, Restricted)
• Analyse reports from software licence-scanning tools to identify missing, inconsistent, or inaccurate licence information
• Review and recommend updates to existing open-source policies, standards, and guidelines
• Collaborate with external vendors to improve the accuracy and completeness of licence reporting within tooling
• Support the development and enhancement of automation related to open-source licence evaluation

The successful candidate must demonstrate:

• Practical, hands-on experience working with open-source software-across usage, evaluation, governance, contribution, or integration
• Strong analytical and organisational skills
• Ability to work autonomously with high attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills for translating complex licensing requirements

• Strong understanding of open-source licensing models, including how they apply in real engineering environments
• Direct experience working with open-source software (not limited to FOSS contributions; includes usage, evaluation, integration, or governance)
• Ability to distinguish between open-source licensing models and free-to-use or commercial licences
• Interest and experience in software development

• Background or training in copyright or related legal principles
• experience working in a controlled or regulated industry
• Exposure to DevSecOps practices
• experience within an agile delivery environment
• Familiarity with licence evaluation and compliance tools (eg, Nexus IQ Server, Black Duck, or similar)
