  • Validate contract terms, rebate eligibility, and customer utilization data to ensure payment accuracy, compliance, and data integrity.
  • Support government pricing activities by identifying pricing inconsistencies, outdated rebate amounts, and potential compliance risks.
  • Manage invoice and payment timelines to ensure timely processing, reduce financial exposure, and support cash flow objectives.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards, KPI reporting, payment trackers, and operational analyses to support business and contracting decisions.
  • Partner with Market Access, Sales, Finance, Compliance, Legal, Government Pricing, and IT teams to resolve complex business challenges and improve operational performance.

  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and proficiency with PowerPoint and other Microsoft Office applications.
  • Experience with SAP and/or contract, pricing, or revenue management systems.
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Experience with Model N, Revitas, Revenue Manager, Validata, or similar revenue management platforms.
