Job description

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Contingent Workforce Approvals Analyst administers the approval workflow for temporary staff requests. The role monitors the intake form daily, checks each submission for completeness and accuracy, chases the requester for whatever is missing, puts the record into the format the approvers need, routes it to the right director and vendor manager, and tracks it through to final sign-off and notification. This is a pivotal governance role, balancing administrative diligence with rigorous policy enforcement. Each verification step is essential: validating hiring manager hierarchies ensures proper authorization, location codes dictate cost and compliance protocols, budget confirmations prevent unapproved spending, and length-of-service tracking maintains policy adherence. Serving as the primary control point, you will mitigate risk by ensuring all requests are accurate and complete before processing, proactively preventing potential downstream compliance or operational exposure.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Request Intake & Completeness Review Monitor submissions from the internal approval form daily, so no request waits on the analyst to notice it. Review each submission for completeness and accuracy, including hiring manager hierarchy, location codes and budget confirmation. Verify the requester has the standing to raise the request and that the approving hierarchy is correctly identified. Hold back incomplete or non-compliant requests rather than routing them onward, and record why. Log every request so volume, ageing and approval cycle time can be reported.
2. Clarification & Data Finalisation Follow up with requesters using the established templates to resolve missing information, incorrect data formats and insufficient justification. Update request records into the required format, ensuring the scope of work detail and the objectives the role supports are captured. For extensions, include the previous request identifiers and length-of-service detail, since these determine whether the extension is permissible. Confirm budget and cost-centre detail is present and consistent before the request moves to approval. Keep the requester informed, since these requests usually have a start date depending on them.
3. Approval Routing & Tracking Assign the appropriate director and vendor manager to each request based on the confirmed hierarchy. Loop in the assigned vendor manager for review and track the request through to final sign-off. Chase approvals that stall, and elevate where a delay puts a start date or a compliance position at risk. Maintain accurate approval status throughout, so anyone can see where a request stands without asking. Handle rejections and rework cleanly, returning the request with a clear reason.
4. Notification, Documentation & Reporting Send approval notifications to hiring managers and requesters once a decision is reached. Record the final decision date and maintain the complete record of the approval chain. Provide the documentation required for extensions to the requester. Report on request volumes, approval cycle times, rejection reasons and ageing. Maintain the templates, procedures and knowledge base for the workflow, and propose improvements where the same clarification is needed repeatedly.

PERFORMANCE & SERVICE LEVELS

• Daily Monitoring: intake reviewed every business day, with no submission left unactioned overnight.
• Completeness Check: 100% of requests validated against the mandatory field set before routing; zero incomplete requests routed to approvers.
• Clarification Turnaround: requester follow-up issued within the agreed window of identifying a gap.
• Approval Tracking: 100% of in-flight requests carrying an accurate current status, with stalled approvals chased.
• Notification: decisions communicated and decision dates recorded for 100% of closed requests.
• Policy Compliance: extensions processed only with previous request identifiers and length-of-service detail present.
• First Meaningful Response: provide a meaningful technical update on 90% of requests within 2 business hours.
• Ticket Quality: sustain >=95% against the weighted quality scorecard, which is weighted toward technical accuracy, then completeness, timeliness and communication.
• Customer Satisfaction: sustain >=95% of responses rated Excellent or Good.

TOOLS & SYSTEMS

• Intake and workflow: the internal approval form and request tracker for submissions and status.
• Communication: shared mailbox, email templates and enterprise chat for requester and approver follow-up.
• Records and reporting: spreadsheet trackers and BI tooling for cycle time, ageing and rejection analysis.
• Directory and organisational data: hierarchy and cost-centre reference data used to identify the correct approvers.
