Θ Requisition ID: 33222
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Contract intake, completeness checks, and operational validation (under supervision)
- Perform initial review for completeness and readiness of incoming client documents (e.g., fully executed agreement, required fields/data present), and organize the contract record so it is accessible to internal stakeholders.
- Validate that key operational terms are clear enough to enable project setup and billing setup, and flag gaps/ambiguities for senior/Finance/Legal review rather than interpreting them independently.
- SAP services project setup support (functional end-user scope)
- You will support foundational setup activities that enable billing, using guided processes rather than configuration work.
- Support creation/maintenance of billing items for customer projects, in collaboration or overlap with billing team (including selecting contract type such as Fixed Price or Time & Expenses; assigning work packages; entering amounts/caps; maintaining billing due dates/billing plan items; and capturing customer references such as PO)
- Cross-functional coordination (primarily internal-facing)
- Coordinate with Sales, Delivery/Project teams, and finance to collect missing inputs, clarify basic items (e.g., dates, PO references, billing schedule), and keep the setup moving through the standard workflow.
- Provide routine status updates and document actions/decisions taken, maintaining an audit-ready trail of changes and approvals as required by the workflow.
- Documentation hygiene and operational reporting support
- Maintain organized records and trackers (e.g., contract intake status, setup progress, exception logs) to support day-to-day visibility and handoffs.
- Support basic operational reporting aligned to the process (e.g., volumes processed, cycle time, rework themes) as defined by the team’s governance model.
- Contract elements you will typically review and validate within Associate scope of experience & expertise
- You will focus on operationally actionable contract elements that drive project setup and billing structure—not legal interpretation.
- Common validation checklist items include:
- Scope/deliverables and timelines: ensuring deliverables, milestones, and timelines are stated clearly enough to align to project structure and billing phases.
- Payment structure and triggers: confirming whether billing is milestone-based, periodic, or time & expenses—and ensuring the setup can reflect those triggers.
- Basic contract data required for setup: parties/contact information, effective/expiration dates, and required customer references (e.g., PO) for linkage to sales/billing documents.
- Billing plan and method alignment: verifying that the invoice method and revenue method classification selected/entered aligns to the contracted payment structure (and escalating mismatches).
- Revenue recognition awareness (coordination-only; no accounting ownership)
- You are expected to have awareness of ASC 606/IFRS 15 concepts and recognize when contract terms may impact Finance’s revenue decisions; however, you do not determine accounting treatment, standalone selling price allocation, or final revenue recognition conclusions.
- Practical awareness expected: Familiarity with the five-step model structure (identify contract; identify performance obligations; determine transaction price; allocate price; recognize revenue) at a high level, so you can spot terms that could affect setup and downstream treatment.
- Accuracy and attention to detail: when translating contract terms into SAP billing/project setup fields.
- Process discipline: ability to follow SOPs, maintain documentation, and preserve required audit trails.
- Clear written communication: for internal coordination and structured escalation.
- Comfort working with global stakeholders: through defined handoffs, including support for contracts across regions via documented workflows.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in finance, economics, or business required, with a strong record of academic achievement.
- 0-3 years of Sales and Order Management experience.
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PPT, Outlook), SAP experience desirable;
- Strong analytic and critical thinking abilities.
- Effective oral and written communication skills that enable strong relationship-building and stakeholder management.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Motivated and proactive.
- Professional objectivity and judgment to know when to challenge activities.
- Ability to multi-task in a fast paced, rapidly-changing environment.
- Fluency in English
