Role Tasks and Responsibilities

Project Assurance

• Check and update key project setup data, including contracting entity, servicing entity, project structure, service line teams, financial dimensions, rates, budgets, currency, payment terms, client contracts and other billing requirements.
• Identify missing or inconsistent setup information, including PO numbers or client billing information, follow up with stakeholders to close gaps, and raise unresolved items to the Team Lead where required.
• Maintain D365 F&O as the operational source of truth for assigned project administration data, ensuring updates, corrections and supporting comments are entered accurately and in line with agreed procedures.

• Submit assigned invoices through client payment portals, ensuring required references, attachments and supporting documentation are included.
• Maintain awareness of client-specific portal requirements, including PO references, invoice formats, supporting documentation and submission rules.
• Monitor client portal invoice statuses and follow up on rejected, disputed, pending or incomplete submissions.
• Investigate and resolve client portal invoice rejections, missing information, access issues and submission errors, escalating unresolved items where required.
• Complete assigned Portal Assurance activities in line with agreed SLAs.

Ways of Working

• Complete assigned work in line with established SOPs, SLAs, checklists and governance requirements.
• Work collaboratively with the Team Lead and other Project & Client Operations colleagues to resolve assigned operational tasks.
