What will you do

Own the automation that compresses a five-day manual billing cycle to under one day — and the workflows that move disputes, approvals, and exceptions with full audit trails. The governing discipline: the machine moves the data; people review exceptions. We never automate a broken or unapproved rule. The client environment is Google-based — Google Workspace (Sheets, Drive, Chat, AppSheet, Apps Script) and Google Cloud analytics (BigQuery, Dataform, Looker), alongside Delphi, ServiceNow, and PRISM. Candidates with Microsoft-stack depth (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Query, SQL Server) and the aptitude to transfer are strong fits; direct Google-stack experience is a significant plus.

· Design and build the automated billing-cycle workflow end to end: scheduled ingestion, validation on load, execution of the approved calculation logic, self-populating exception queues, pre-bill review and approval flows, and publication handoffs.

· Develop AppSheet applications and automation bots for dispute management — submission from the bill line with charge context attached, owner assignment, reason codes, SLA timers, escalation, evidence links, and resolution tracking with status surfaced to the reporting layer.

· Build orchestration, notifications, and audit logging in Apps Script (Google Chat, Gmail); use Cloud Workflows or Composer where the Government authorizes heavier scheduling.

· Codify only DOT-approved business rules; maintain change control, versioning, and a complete audit trail for every automated step.

· Instrument cycle-time and touch-point metrics so automation gains are measured against the documented baseline, not asserted.

· Produce workflow documentation and runbooks; support user acceptance testing and Government reperformance of the automated cycle.

· Security Clearance: Public Trust or the ability to obtain one.

· Candidates whose experience is limited to advisory, strategic, or conceptual consulting will not meet this program's bar. The client explicitly requires demonstrated, hands-on implementation experience — deployed cost models, executed billing cycles, delivered automations, and operational financial products.

· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent additional experience.

· 4+ years building workflow automation or low-code/no-code business applications in a controlled (change-managed, audited) environment.

· Proficiency in JavaScript (Apps Script) or Python for scripting and integration glue.

· Demonstrated experience automating financial or transactional processes with approval gates, exception handling, and audit-trail requirements.

· Process-mapping fluency: able to document a manual cycle, isolate judgment steps from assembly steps, and automate only the latter.

· Google Workspace automation: AppSheet (apps and bots), Apps Script, Chat integrations, Forms.

· Microsoft Power Platform background (Power Automate, Power Apps) or RPA (UiPath) with clear transfer aptitude — the patterns carry directly.

· ServiceNow workflow experience; federal billing or month-end close operations; Section 508 awareness for user-facing forms and apps.

· Family Health Care (54% cost covered for the entire family)

· Family Dental (54% cost covered for the entire family)

· Family Vision (54% cost covered for the entire family)

· Flexible Spending Account

· Overutilization bonuses for Time and Materials (T&M) contracts

· Lifetime Event Bonuses (e.g., child, marriage)

· Profit-sharing arrangement for any work brought into the company

· Unlimited Leave with Approval

· 401k 100% employer match on first 4% invested

· $1,000 training budget
