License Compliance Manager

Cimatron has established a software license compliance program, developed with the support of an external consultant. The License Compliance Manager is now responsible for owning this program and driving its global rollout – determining which regions to prioritize, sequencing deployment, and ensuring the program operates effectively and consistently across all activated markets.

The role combines strategic judgment on where and how to deploy the program with hands-on operational ownership – managing active compliance cases, coordinating with Sales and Legal, and continuously refining the program based on regional learnings. The License Compliance Manager acts as a trusted advisor to Cimatron’s commercial and legal leadership, balancing enforcement effectiveness with commercial relationship considerations.
