We are looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented Software Vendor Management Specialist to manage the day-to-day administration and tracking of our software vendors. You'll keep vendor records, contracts, renewals, required reviews, and other important documentation accurate and on track while coordinating with vendors and teams across the organization.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating order, keeping track of details, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Coordinate and track vendor audits, including required documentation, security requirements, identified risks, outstanding items, and completion status.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for routine vendor communication, documentation requests, and follow-up.
• Track applicable service-level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs), identify potential concerns, and escalate issues when appropriate.
• Proactively follow up with vendors and internal stakeholders on outstanding documentation, approvals, security reviews, renewals, and other open items.
• Run and review Sage reports and company credit card activity to identify and track software-related spending.
• Research unidentified, miscoded, or unexpected software expenditures and work with internal teams to resolve discrepancies.
• Identify software purchases that may have occurred outside established IT processes and coordinate appropriate follow-up.
• Maintain complete and organized vendor records and documentation in accordance with established processes.
• Provide administrative tracking support for software deployment, single sign-on (SSO), and other IT-related initiatives as assigned.

• Strong attention to detail and a demonstrated ability to maintain accurate records.
• Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines, vendors, and open items at the same time.
• Working knowledge of basic accounting concepts, including general ledger (GL) codes and expense classification.
• Experience reviewing or researching expenses, invoices, credit card activity, financial transactions, or similar records.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with vendors and internal teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and standard business productivity tools.
