About the job

This position will be responsible for working constructively with our customers and partners to resolve billing issues and fraudulent misuse of services.

We are seeking a sharp, highly data-oriented, and tenacious Telecom Billing Specialist to join our team.

You will build dashboards to communicate key metrics and drive action. If you love solving complex data puzzles, negotiating with external parties, and finding win-win outcomes, this is the role for you.

You will be part of a company that is the category leader in Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS), an organization working with the largest customers and partners, and a team of operators and former consultants that have delivered exceptional impact. If you have an extreme owner / founder mindset and a desire to solve big challenges, you’ll find yourself at home.

• Read contracts and interpret what should be the invoice versus what it is
• Act as the primary point of contact to negotiate dispute resolutions, settlements, and payment terms in accordance with company practices
• Partner closely with data analytics, engineering, and accounting to reconcile accounts
