Summary / Role Purpose

The License Compliance Investigator II (LCI2) is responsible for identifying and developing opportunities to generate business through license compliance (LC) cases. The LCI2 needs to independently analyze data collected by the Call Home solution, build a license compliance case, and provide guidance to the LC Specialists.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Identify and qualify LC leads (antipiracy). The LCI2 will use the Case Management Software to identify, manage, track and document antipiracy cases identified through the Case Management Software, CRM and other sources.

Use the Case Management Software to document the case investigation and maintain historical records for all LC cases; find, access and update case information; and share critical case information across the LC organization. In addition, the LCI2 will coordinate calls and one-on-ones with the LC Specialist to review, continue to investigate and transfer the case.
• Prepare and courier License Compliance Letters. After reviewing a case with the LC Specialist, the LCI2 will use templates to prepare license compliance letters and courier and/or e-mail them according to the local License Compliance process. In addition, the LCI2 will document all communications using the Case Management Software.
