• Manage the end-to-end processing of labor transactions, including weekly time entry files, adjustment entries, and verified time collection activities, ensuring data completeness, authorization adherence, proper coding, and compliance with internal policies.
• Investigate and address exceptions such as missing, rejected, duplicated, or inaccurate labor records by leveraging analytical skills and collaborating with managers, timekeepers, payroll, finance teams, and external partners to coordinate precise corrections.
• Conduct thorough reconciliations, validations, quality checks, and ongoing monitoring of work queues to verify successful and accurate completion of labor transactions and automation outputs, prioritizing prompt resolution of outstanding exceptions and process discrepancies.

• Support adherence to process compliance and documentation standards, participate in testing protocols, audits, and new customer onboarding initiatives tied to labor processing and robotic automation workflows, while safeguarding confidential information in alignment with data privacy regulations.

This role is for you if you have these skills:

• Proficient understanding of labor processing, timekeeping systems, payroll procedures, Vendor Management System (VMS) data flows, and labor accounting frameworks necessary to uphold precise compensation and billing processes.
• Strong capability to oversee automated workflow systems and conduct Tier 1 troubleshooting, effectively diagnosing issues stemming from user inputs, data integrity, configuration settings, process design, or automation functionality.
• Analytical skills to validate, reconcile, and interpret large volumes of labor and workflow data, identifying exceptions, uncovering root causes, and recommending corrective measures to mitigate operational risks.
• Exceptional communication skills geared toward effectively conveying complex procedural and technical information to diverse stakeholders including payroll, finance, operations, IT teams, vendors, and management personnel, facilitating swift and transparent issue resolution.
• Demonstrated ability to efficiently organize, prioritize, and execute multiple concurrent labor processing tasks, support requests, and reconciliations within strict timeframes in a dynamic, high-volume operational environment.
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting, combined with experience using enterprise business systems such as SAP, VMS applications, SharePoint, Outlook, Word, and Teams to support collaborative workflows and documentation.

And if you have these qualifications:

• High School Diploma or General Education Diploma (GED) is required as a foundational credential.
• Associate's Degree or equivalent technical training in Business, Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related fields is preferred and will be considered a strong asset.
• A minimum of five years of progressive, hands‑on experience in labor processing, payroll and timekeeping systems, VMS support, robotic process automation (RPA) or automated workflow management, transaction reconciliation, or related financial operations is required.
