Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience across purchasing or procure-to-pay operations, accounts payable or billing, and project cost control; datacenter, critical infrastructure, or large-scale construction exposure preferred.
• Hands-on SAP (or other large-scale ERP) experience: PO entry, vendor onboarding and master data, invoice and SES entry, and invoice exception resolution.
• Working knowledge of the procure-to-pay cycle (RFQs, PO drafting, legal and delegated-authority approvals, three-way match, payment) and of contracts, change orders, and project scope.
• Experience with project cost tracking: budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, burn-rate monitoring, accruals, and cost coding.

• Advanced Excel and strong MS Office skills; experience producing cost, status, and exception reports for Finance and operations.
• Highly detail-oriented and organized, able to manage many concurrent orders, invoices, and projects with urgency, and to communicate clearly with vendors, project managers, executives, and Finance.

Responsibilities

• Receive and triage parts requests from datacenter technicians, software development, and site teams.
• Issue RFQs to approved suppliers for cost and lead time, confirm viability with the requestor, and obtain a formal quote.
• Own the end-to-end procure-to-pay process with internal and external stakeholders.
• Perform SAP entries including vendor onboarding and PO upload for financial approval by Finance.
• Review and validate vendor and contractor invoices against contracts, POs, and approved scope for accuracy and compliance.
• Manage the invoice exceptions process within SAP, resolving blocked, mismatched, underfunded, or misaligned POs and invoices with vendors, project managers, Procurement, and accounts payable; serve as primary contact for vendor billing inquiries.
• Prepare the month‑end invoice exceptions report for Finance and weekly summaries of approved SES billing for project controls teams.
• Manage and track project budgets for datacenter construction, development, and technology projects: maintain cost records, monitor actuals versus budget, prepare forecasts, variance analysis, and cost summaries, and act as finance business partner to project stakeholders.
• Monitor burn rates for major contractors, flag potential funding shortfalls to project teams, and work with Procurement on material costs and cash‑flow timing.
• Support month‑end activities (accruals, cost forecasting, AP reconciliation, financial reporting) and respond to audit and documentation requests related to project spend.
• Identify recurring delays, exceptions, or control gaps across the procure-to-pay and project cost processes and recommend process or SAP improvements.
