• Extract, analyze, and validate sales and revenue data from ERP, Business Intelligence/Unified Data Platform, and other reporting systems used in royalty calculations.
• Reconcile royalty reporting data to the general ledger and other financial reporting sources to ensure completeness and accuracy.
• Investigate and resolve data and master data discrepancies, variances, and reporting exceptions through detailed analysis and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Analyze large volumes of transactional revenue data across multiple business units, legal entities, countries, and sales channels.
• Develop and maintain dashboards, reports, and analytical tools that enhance visibility into licensed product performance and royalty obligations.
• Partner with Finance, IT, Commercial Operations, and Master Data teams to improve reporting processes, data integrity, and system efficiencies.
• Support royalty audits by preparing schedules, gathering supporting documentation, responding to information requests, and maintaining audit-ready records.
• Identify opportunities to automate reporting, improve controls, and leverage Business Intelligence and AI tools to increase efficiency and reporting accuracy.
• Maintain a strong understanding of business processes, master data structures, and the flow of information from order entry through revenue recognition.
• Consistently adhere to strict reporting deadlines and effectively manage multiple priorities across numerous licensing agreements.

Requirements
