- Validation & Quality Control: Implement rigorous validation protocols for critical sales, billing, and pricing data to ensure complete accuracy before billing cycles or downstream accounting closures occur (or any other function relying on the data).
- Contract & Revenue Integrity: Manage contract administration processes, verifying that finalized sales agreements match financial schedules, pricing models, and compliance standards.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with Sales Operations, Billings, Revenue, and Accounting teams to troubleshoot system integration issues and optimize upstream data capture.
